The United States is basically the single largest country on Earth, surely the US representation of a problem must be among the most expressed.



It is fourth largest and third most populated. It has the second largest prison population, but is almost tied for the first place here.


Who has a larger prison population? All stats I'm seeing both in raw numbers and per capita have the US as number one there.


The top search result claimed China has about 20k more inmates. Meaning it has about a quarter of USA’s per capita.
