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.
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.
Preach
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.
LOL just calculated for my country and we’re at 100 per 100000
ITT: Liberals who assume that evil Chinese MUST be lying about their statistics but the above board whites of the USA are not.
More creepy US prison statistics.
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.
The top score would be Gaza tho with 100% of its population being prisoners of Israel.
Statistics are Khammaaaaz!!!
Woah watch out. You might offend Red Scare propagandists
1 843 701 US prison population
1 686 108 China prison population
The trick is to always assume “China is lying about its internal statistics” and inflate whatever number they give by an arbitrary large percentage. 1.7M is obviously an under-count because the CCP is always lying about everything.
Also, you can do some broad brush “Everyone in Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, North Korea, and Taiwan are prisoners of the Chinese state, so actually that’s over 60M people” napkin math to make the numbers look better.
On its own that’s misleading, you should be using the per capita stats.
I’m sure he hasn’t got a clue how many Chinese there are, or where China is.
All that matters is China bad, commie bad
