Interesting how it’s southern states at the top eh?
Can’t have anything to do with the fact that the US legally allows prisoner slavery right?
Winder what the race ratio of the prison population is.
This is the country routinely accusing other countries of having “prison camps.”
Interesting how it’s southern states at the top eh?
Legit amazed California wasn’t higher on the list. They’ve been doing mass-incarceration at an industrial scale since the 70s. But I guess the population is big enough that the per-capita statistics work out.
States like Alabama, Louisiana, and Oklahoma have such small and anemic populations and dedicate so much of their domestic budget to incarceration that they’re basically giant publicly subsidized slave plantations.
It’s too hilarious it can’t be intentional that the top country not America is El Salvador which is where you’re questionably sending all your black and brown people.
Nothing more American than privatizing and off-shoring our concentration camps.
Preach
I went to business school in the US about a decade ago (stayed full time engineer and happy about it) and I can absolutely see business schools unironically studying the process of privatizing and offshoring prisons as it relates to other more ethical and humane enterprises.
LOL just calculated for my country and we’re at 100 per 100000
Worthwhile note to people too lazy to click on the link is that this is the 2021 version. In June 2024 (which is linked at the top of the linked article) the numbers look a little different but not much better for the US.
The top score would be Gaza tho with 100% of its population being prisoners of Israel.
Israel is trying to zero out that number as quickly as they can.
Statistics are Khammaaaaz!!!
The proposed stat is '20% of the world’s prison population". No country can ever reach 100% while any other country on Earth has at least 1 prisoner.
what “slavery is allowed if the enslaved person is a prisoner” does to you
UHHH THATS JUST BECAUSE CHINA IS LYING HAHAA YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEIR OWN NUMBERS LOL??? oh third parties provided that data…. UHH WELL THEY DONT HAVE IPHONES AND THEYRE ALL POOR. oh… wait, they do have iphones now and china has a stronger middle working class than the US and canada?
hold on i need to go watch my tv for a couple hours to get a few more talking points but im gonna come back to this post and fucking own you
CHINA ONLY PRODUCES GARBAGE BTW. oh what? They have actually quality products, they just ship out cheap garbage to suckers?
One is labeled as authoritarian dystopia while the other as a beacon of freedom, it’s like we live in the upside down.
More creepy US prison statistics.
Woah watch out. You might offend Red Scare propagandists
ITT: Liberals who assume that evil Chinese MUST be lying about their statistics but the above board whites of the USA are not.
13th is a really good documentary. Indentured Survitude
Wow China really dropped the ball on this one.
Your brain on for-profit prisons:
1970 was during the cultural revolution. In that year, the world population was 3.68 billion, and the population if China was just shy of 830 million - China had 22% of the world’s population, so if they held (only) 20% of the world’s prisoners, they’d have a lower than average incarceration rate.
The same is not true for the US today, we have less than 5% of the world’s population today.

The red army of china didn’t really take prisoners.
