It doesn't, but even if it did it's "incarceration rate"; how many people are incarcerated, in this case, per 100,000. The population of the country is pretty much irrelevant (I say pretty much because if, for example, a country had just ten citizens and one was incarcerated the incarceration rate would be 10,000 per 100,000).

Australia is full of convicts? Say what?
