      Interesting how it’s southern states at the top eh?

      Can’t have anything to do with the fact that the US legally allows prisoner slavery right?

      Winder what the race ratio of the prison population is.

      This is the country routinely accusing other countries of having “prison camps.”

        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.

      Isn’t that graph a bit misleading

        In what way is it misleading? It seems straightforward to me.

          I thought the states were being compared to other countries. Didn’t look properly on the phone.

            They are. Just ALL the states are significantly worse than most countries.

        How is a per-capita incarceration rate, with a reference to the superset included directly on the plot, misleading? Other than including more than El Salvador for the sake of external reference, which is almost certainly a size issue.

    ITT: Liberals who assume that evil Chinese MUST be lying about their statistics but the above board whites of the USA are not.
