Largest prison population SO FAR.

Those numbers are gonna go waay up soon.

Also if you count the nazi concentration camps then those were probably bigger but idk the number of US prisoners so enlighten me.

Also, raw produce numbers don’t really represent reality. Number of incarcerated persons per capita is a much better measurement.

We're at #5 worldwide with 541 per 100,000.

China is #132. Iran #65. Russia is #33 with an even 300. So the US is nearly doubling fucking Russia's incarceration rates. although idk how that would change if you'd include the number of people falling out of windows.
