I assume it applies uniquely to the United States, given the high percentage of incarcerated people?

I would expect it to be at least as related to culture and governance as numbers, and therefore to be an issue in some other countries as well.

Midnight Express gave me reason to believe it's other countries too like Turkey.

Isn’t Midnight Express an English movie? I’m not sure it can be used as source for that.

They comment in the report on whether they believe this occurs elsewhere at similar rates within prisons, and they indicate that evidence suggests yes. However, great point that it likely affects more people in the USA per capita by virtue of the large incarceration rate here.
