Did you know that the prisoner-per-capita ratio in the US is higher than both Russia and China? In fact, the total number of incarcerated people (ie people in prisons and jails) in the US is 2.25 million. In Russia that number is 433,006 and in China it's estimated at 1.7 million.

Combined that's 2.13 million.

Those two "worse" countries combined don't have as many people incarcerated people as the US.
