Perhaps there are other wizarding prisons that disagree with the use of 
Dementors, and especially the use of the Dementor's Kiss. 

There are Muggle differences of opinion all over the world regarding the 
death penalty, and we can see that there are differences of opinion within the 
British WW regarding the Dementor's Kiss. This leads me to believe that there 
must be wizarding prisons elsewhere in the world that perhaps carry out "justice" 
differently. 

I wonder if this will come up as Voldemort takes the reigns again and our 
view point stretches out further than Great Britain.
