Am I blind or oregon doesn't have prisoners?
Below el salvador
Quick reminder this site lists 0 mentions of how they gain data for other countries outside the United States, including bad faith reporters such as China, Iran, Russia, and possibly India and other countries. Though it should be noted China does not consider certain prisoners like Uyghur Muslims in reeducation camps as part of its justice system, Russia does not count conscripted prisoners in its system, and many others will attempt to hide or obscure true reports.

No other country even makes the first page
If every state in America were only 1% worse than every other country, then again the first 50 entries would be the American states. This is barely saying more than "America has the highest incarceration rate," so it shouldn't be a surprise.
Let's see.

The heat expands the brain and the raise of pressure against the skull induce criminal behavior. It's scientifically proven.
are you the github dessalines??
Yes he is...
land of the free, baby!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
America has more prisoners than China.
More reported prisoners.
exactly the real numbers for amerikkka are way higher when u take into account all the cia and military prisons across the world that we know next to nothing about.
It's absolutely projection that other countries must be lying about their prison populations, when we know for a fact that we are, eg ICE only counts migrants who are directly moved to a long-term facility, if they're moved to a temporary facility first, they are excluded entirely.
I kinda doubt they're even including the immigrant concentration camps in those stats
Half of Michigan wants to commit crimes against the other half, but they are fortunately separated by some really great lakes.
Skeptical of Isntreal's incarceration rate
Skeptical it's on the list of countries.
And almost 50% of that is from drug offenses (according to a few stats I saw).
Which is a plague that affects every country in the world - so isn't a reason for America being so keen to jail people.
Was it worth it, drug warriors? All the unnecessary deaths, at the hands of police and unregulated drugs of a unknown potency? Was it worth sacrificing all our civil liberties on the vain funeral pyre that is the United States of America?
When humanity is victorious in the drug war and all drugs are legalized, will drug users criminalize sobriety?
Will people high as fuck demand everyone to piss in a plastic cup to make sure they are high?
Will drug users ruin sober people's lives with felonies and time in prison with hardened criminals?
Will drug users dissolve civil liberties and prop up a bipartisan police state that gives cops a license to kill?
NO!
Who would want to do that to someone? To a fellow human for doing what they want with their own bodies? Prohibitionists... that's who. And we are not them
Feel fortunate we want justice, not retribution.
Nothing lasts forever drug warriors. Tick tock. We will be free one day, and you will wail and moan and your cries will fall on deaf ears.
Now playing The War on Drugs - Red Eyes
Why isn't California on the list? I must have missed it, right? But I looked three times.
It's right below turkmenistan, in the link.
Why can't my state be near the top of a good list for once.
Guys, guys!
You're ignoring the real questions!
Are the companies running the prisons profitable and how much should you invest?!!????
While private prisons are abhorrent and unconscionable, they aren't even close to the root cause of our prison problem. Hint: it's systemic racism and our militarized police culture.

Louisiana, the #1 on the list supposedly had 0 private prison inmates in 2021. Blaming private prisons at this point almost feels like deflecting from the real issues.
Who ~~bribes~~ ~~funds~~ free speeches the politicians who wrote those laws?
Edit: I think I should be explicit. The owners of the private prisons do.
Its been a few years since I checked, but as of 2015 at least the US, which is 5% of the world's population, give or take a few, had over 25% of the world's prison population. Total. Fucking. Insanity
I don’t get this graph. So all of US has a smaller incarceration rate than just Louisiana? What?
i have 4 boxes labeled A to D, and 10 rocks.
i put 1 rock in A, 2 in B, 3 in C and 4 in D.
A[⚪] B[⚪⚪] C[⚪⚪⚪] D[⚪⚪⚪⚪]
i then paint 1 rock in B, 2 rocks in C and 1 rock in D.
A[⚪] B[⚪🔴] C[⚪🔴🔴] D[⚪⚪⚪🔴]
then i put the boxes in a bigger box called the united boxes.
here's the rate of painted rocks:
- C 66% (2/3)
- B 50% (1/2)
- United boxes 40% (4/10)
- D 25% (1/4)
- A 0% (0/1)
Yes, look up what per capita means.
The US average falls in the middle of the list of states, yes. This is a chart of per capital rates.
The entire US would have the average of all the states' incarceration rates.
Thats how averages work, unlike eg maximums.
But Im sure reversing that chart would correlate with math test scores.
