This map doesn't show the high number of island countries with a rating over 400; i.e., Bermuda, Palau, Cuba, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Maldive Islands, St. Kitts & Nevis and Bermuda.

The rate of 714 for the U.S. is probably too high.

According to The Pew Charitable Trusts' Public Safety Performance Project Report:
The U.S. prison incarceration rate will continue to grow, from 491 per 100,000 U.S. residents in 2005 to 511 in 2006, then to 550 in 2011.
