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

Going from you figures,
I get 0.178%. I looked at those figures and did my own sums yesterday before posting, but didn't post my results - off the top of my head (cba to do it all again) and they were both in the 0.something but I thought it was even less than .001% for US.
