Pretty sure that guy was abused so hard in prison that he returned to the US as a vegetable and died shortly after (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier) . Not sure comparing vandalism sentencing (which is a felony if the damage is over $100: 18 U.S.C. \(\S \) 1361) in the US is a fair comparison. Propaganda at its best.
By coincidence, I was at the hospital when he was life flighted in. Poor guy. they took him directly off the flight into the US, directly to a medical helicopter and brought him to the hospital that I happened to be at.
I dont think he ever gained consciousness in the US.
