Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

    Currently China, per capita El Salvador. US scores second most population wise (3rd most populous country, so it’s not that unreasonable?) and 5th per capita (No excuse).

    The US appears to have been slowly going down a little bit, some times when it feels like it, more so if you’re white, with a big drop during Covid.

      Interesting. I can imagine China’s high rate of incarceration is due to the CCCP and El Salvador is due to the cartels. Wonder how many of those in prison in the US are there for pretty drug crimes though…
