Largest prison population both in absolute size AND per capita. Also, random fact, their constitution allows prisoners to be forced into slave labour. Also, another random fact, their prisons are run for profit. None of these facts are related of course!

Nice to see that even here - a shitposting forum - whenever anybody posts anything negative about America, yanks can’t handle it.

We have that percentage because we actually lock up our criminals, unlike Sweden or Germany.

And potentially somewhere around half of that population is in there for non-violent crimes, with alot of inmates in for drug offenses, it’s absolutely ridiculous. Focus on the people that need to be in prisons, the violent sociopaths, stop trying to turn more people into criminals.
