Maybe the problem is that prison is such a nice comfy alternative. So, you wanna talk of Russia and China? Fair enough. Lets talk of those 2. Unless the person is a masochist, I will bet that a Chinese or Russian prisoner, if given the choice and they have experienced both prison systems will opt for the US prison. Say you put take a Chinese or Russian prisoner and put him in a US prison for a couple of months and then ask him where he/she would rather serve out their sentence, what do you think they will say?

Ever thought that maybe the prison is NOT much of a deterrent? That might explain why it is so meaningless, relatively, for them to commit a crime. In fact, some have even been known to purposely commit a crime to get in prison during the cold months.
