You've missed the top one: there are roughly 21 374 000 inmates currently residing in Her Majesty's Prison, Australia.

i find it funny that the drug punishment laws put in place by the "all-american" ronald reagan has pushed our prison population above communist and dictatorial countries

Well, communist and dictatorial countries pretty much only imprison political prisoners, so, which would you prefer? And let's face it, the reason that many African countries don't register on this list, even countries where human rights are at a bare minimum, is because there is either no stable government in place (think Somalia), or the government is incredibly corrupt (think Sudan).

Useless. This is just a list of the countries with the biggest population. A relative list by % of the total population would be much more interesting

@Melanie: That's simply not true. Communist and dictatorial countries often imprison real criminals as well as political prisoners.

well, before mentioning Australia I'd rather say that ~23 mio. North-Koreans are missing on this list!

I agree that while this quiz is interesting, the largest per capita prison population would be more interesting.
