  Maybe that explains why 1 in 100 U.S. adults are in prison? Quite an amazing statistic.
  
  The U.S. also is among the world leaders in capital punishment. According to Amnesty International, its 53 executions in 2006 were exceeded only by China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq and Sudan.
  
  What does this say about us? It seems we are most like the countries we vilify!
