> highest incarceration rate in the "free world"

2nd highest in the world full stop is a starker figure (behind Seychelles which has a population <10k)




Also nearly all countries that are anywhere in the vicinity of the US on that list have tiny populations. Even Russia is only at #10: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarcera...

You're probably right since "free world" can mean many different things to different people, although I thought Seychelles had like 100,000 people


Oops, yeah should say <100k. Still. Quite small.
