I was talking of China, not NK, where we next to nothing of what really
goes on. I discount most of the atrocity stories, as they come from sources
with an axe to grind. They are pure propaganda.

By no means all US prisoners have been convicted of anything. I always
seems ironic to me that the land  of the free has more prisoners than
almost anywhere else.
