Brazil in 3rd :(
Been a problem here for several decades.
I don’t understand the point they’re making with the comparison here (I do agree with the post’s sentiment).
340,000,000 * 20% = 68,000,000
1,400,000,000 * 16% = 224,000,000
So China still has way more imprisoned by a factor of 4 even though the post is trying to paint America as worse with this stat. Could someone maybe shed some light on what I’m missing here?
It’s not percent of their respective populations, it’s percent of the total global prison population.
Yikes. I knew it was bad, but goddamn.
