Yes - Correctional health = Public health thanks @chesaboudin
I'm not an advocate for Singaporean justice. I think executing drug dealers is too severe. In fact I'm against the death penalty period. But doubtless such severe consequences deter drug dealing. Maybe that's why their crime and their prison population is low.

So before we say that the US is the most heavy handed criminal justice system in the world, we do need to realize that at least here, human rights are respected, much more so than most countries, and definitely more so than China, Russia, India, or Brazil.

We incarcerate at a greater percentage than any of those states. Human rights are not comparably more respected here, that is a american myth. There is no reason for us to behave so brutishly to our own citizens.pic.twitter.com/9a9IsSMbtY
