The amounts listed in the writings of Ron Walmsley reports included prisoners who are still awaiting trial and have been charged, or who has received a verdict.
However, in some countries such as North Korea (North Korea), Eritrea, and China the number of prisoners who are in jail can not be known with certainty because of the possibility that some detainees were placed in labor camps.
In addition to the number of prisoners in the countries of the world, the report also compares the density of the prison (Imprisonment rate) in a country with a population total.
The countries with the highest number of prisoners in the world, as reported by IB Times, Thursday (04/02/2016), with sourced from the World Prison Population List.
10. Indonesia.
Our country turned out to include 10 countries with the highest number of prisoners. World Prison Population List recorded as many as 161 692 prisoners languishing behind bars in Indonesia.Perhaps this number looks pretty great. However, if compared with the total population of Indonesia, overcrowding of prisoners in Indonesia only stands at 64 people per 100 thousand inhabitants.
9. Turkey.
A country located on the Bosphorus Strait has strict laws regarding such things as freedom of the press and armed groups. The country also has three types namely prison closed, semi-open and open.These prisons accommodate 172 562 inmates, which means every 100 thousand inhabitants Turkey, 200 people are in prison.

Interrogation techniques confinement in isolation rooms and other tortures.

6. Thailand.
White Elephant Affairs reported to have as many as 311 036 people prisoner population densities high enough prison, per 100 thousand inhabitants compared to 461 people.The political instability in the country in recent years is likely to be one of the causes of this high number.
5. India.
Although it ranks fifth in the list of the largest prison population in the world with 418 536 prisoners, India can be said to have a low density prison with per 100 thousand inhabitants compared to 33 people.4. Brazil.

The exact number of prisoners in the Bamboo Curtain country, China can not be known because of allegations covered by the government. However, it is estimated at least 1,657,812 people are currently behind bars."The figure for China is only for prisoners who have been convicted only," writes Ron Walmsey in its report. However, only armed with that number, mean density in China's prisons are at 100 thousand versus 119.
1. United States.
Ranked first country with the highest number of prisoners held by the United States (US). Uncle Sam has at least 2.217 million prisoners in various prisons across the country.This number makes the density of the prison in the US is the second highest with 100 thousand inhabitants compared to 698 prisoners were only rivaled by the Seychelles, a small country that has a population density of 100 thousand inhabitants compared to 799 prisoners.
