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.

Israel is trying to zero out that number as quickly as they can.

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.
