** Criminals do not go to jail immediately upon arrest, there has to be a trial and sentencing first. This is especially important when you consider that while Booth was caught red-handed, the case against Hartley was circumstantial (he was a man with questionable credentials who had been alone with the egg shortly after the last time it was known to have not been replaced with a fake, but all that proves is that he ''could'' have stolen the egg, not that he ''did''). Handwaved by the two being sent to a place that, in Das' words, "due process forgot", but that just begs the question as to how and why an Interpol agent is able to do such a thing.
** The vast majority of the inmates of a nation's prisons are people who have committed crimes in and/or against that nation.
