Couldn't tell ya, I don't know much about European laws. Just shining some light on statistics regarding the country I live in.

In that case, this seems like a learning opportunity for you.

Western European countries have rule of law and don't disappear or mulch people when they break the law, letting them retain their rights.

This counterexample would seem to completely undermine your claim that America's incredibly high incarceration rates are just "what happens" when citizens retain rights after breaking the law.

Well it's a good thing things aren't black and white and we ALL get to learn something new. This has been a real hoot.
