    I suppose being incarcerated for a minor crime or inadequate legal aid is your idea of a minor inconvenience. Over 9 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre - trial detainees (remand prisoners) or having been convicted and sentenced. About half of these are in the United States (2.03m), Russia (0.86m) or China (1.51m plus pre-trial detainees and prisoners in administrative detention ). l The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 701 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (606), Belarus (554), Kazakhstan and the U.S. Vi rgin Islands (both 522), the Cayman Islands (501), Turkmenistan (489), Belize (459), B e rmuda (447), Suriname (437), Dominica (420) and Ukraine (415).

    Whoa! Thats steep, I travel from Salzburg to my work every day (60km) for the annual charge of 980 Euros. I suppose Austrian rail is subsidised to a certain degree but a factor of 4 for a price per km is amazing, I hope you're getting your london bonus.
