The United States dominates a global prison economy and punishment style
Evidence
The global prison economy is indisputably dominated by the United States. This economy not only consists of the products, services, and ideas that are directly marketed to other governments, but it also exercises an enormous influence over the development of the style of state punishment throughout the world. One dramatic example can be seen in the opposition to Turkey’s attempts to transform its prisons. — Davis, Angela Y, Are Prisons Obsolete, 267
