However, you can't compare America to North Korea. For one, there's no proof that North Korea doesn't have more prisoners than we do. They don't have any official records that the rest of the world can look at. You can get jailed for years at a time for being though of as somebody who disagrees with the government. In America, you can scream bloody murder about the government and you can do so freely without fear of arrest.

Talk to me about proof and accountability of Korea, then refuse to mention the elephant standing in the corner that is the american policy of renditions and CIA prisons and Gauntanamo fricken Bay my friend.
Australian Man David Hicks spent five years there without trial and came home a thoroughly broken and permanently damaged human being. He was sexually abused, tortured, held for extended periods of isolation, all against the International declaration of Human rights, all at the hands of your country.
The alleged "trial" that set him free was nought but a political expedience, and was so completely farcical that a mere one of the many hundreds of prisoners held by your country in this scenario have actually been processed by this so-called system, and his name was HICKS and he was released with a gag order until after the election. Even now he hasn't been able to tell his story, and the government also changed the law specifically to stop him selling his story.
Fair dinkum dude, you see your country as the answer, I see it as a large part of the problem. If I raised my children with that "do as I say, not as I do" attitude, then I'd expect them to become full on social deviates with no regard for polite discourse.
