It depends on the laws of the foreign country as they are all different. If you are in a foreign country you are responsible for abiding by their laws. Your home country generally does not intervene because of this. They expect you to abide by the law.

Depends on the country. Sometimes the local US Embassy can assist and the person is deported. Most of the time that person is tried in that country and punished under their laws (works the same way here).
Don't commit a crime in Singapore - I understand canning hurts!

you may want to be tried contained in the best us of a, if there's a suspicion that the crime is initiated in US soil. All they want to do is teach you considered the crime contained in the U. S.. overseas courts in a lot of situations get first crack. even if it really is a delightful u . s . a ., US will be notified and a representative of the U. S. might want to oversee the case to substantiate an American is dealt with wisely. This truly depending on what u . s . a . thick crime befell and the nature of the crime. the U. S. does not Care of a misdemeanor and likely does not be notified of any crime in Iran.

They get punished by the laws of that country and if that country has good relations with the criminal's country, chances are that that country (the criminal's) will punish them also.

They are subject to the laws of that nation. Counts and jails and prisons vary greatly from nation to nation.

Uh, they get sent to a foreign prison. (Say, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?)

You go through their justice system by their laws. Like those kids in Singapore getting wipped or whatever.

You are at the mercy of the judicial system of that country. There is little the U.S. embassy people can do for you. You are on your own.
