I guess China and North Korea prefer executions above prison cells.

Interesting. I wonder if these countries just have more criminals or better police forces?

In fact very surprising answers as three of these aren't countries. Bermuda and Cayman Islands are both British Overseas Territoires. The United States Virgin Islands are as the nane suggests a territory of the USA.

I think that USVI should be accepted for United States Virgin Islands. I go to St. John every year and Its widely known as USVI too.

Dave's right... while this list is interesting, it is completely incorrect to only use the word "countries" for this list. Even the source you cite says that it "gives details of the number of prisoners held in 211 independent countries and
dependent territories
." You need to change the instructions to reflect that.

I guess Australia has changed since 1850.
