What is this "normal jurisdiction" you speak of? The jurisdiction most people are in?

China, India, U.S.?

Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan?

Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia?

Mexico, Japan, Ethiopia?

Philippines, Egypt, Vietnam?

Disingenuous.. do you always compare the united states with developing economies for everything ? They are all less than 100 years old as independent countries . with europe or other mature democracies would be better context for normal surely?

Even these countries do not have 25 % world 's incarcerated population.. US legal system has a problem whether you admit it or not

Seeking for "normal", I just took the top 15 most populous countries, representing two-thirds of the entire human race.

Maybe by "normal" you meant "ideal". Or maybe you meant "where I live". But if "normal" means "usual", I think you are wrong.
