Treason is still on the books for execution in the US. The only crime on the books that does not need felony murder to be eligible.
I believe it is 743 per 100,000 is the incarceration rate here in the US. 178 per 100,000 in Saudi Arabia.
US population 323 million and change. 2.3 million inmates. .001% executed
S A population 27 million and change. 48,060 inmates. 16% executed
