Imprisoning inequalities

As noted in ON LINE Opinion there's quite a disparity in the ratio of males to females imprisoned throughout the world.

You can look at the data yourself from The Seventh United Nations Survey on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (1998 - 2000). I grabbed the MS Excel pivot tables and manipulated the data using OpenOffice datapilot to get my figures.
