exactly the real numbers for amerikkka are way higher when u take into account all the cia and military prisons across the world that we know next to nothing about.

It's absolutely projection that other countries must be lying about their prison populations, when we know for a fact that we are, eg ICE only counts migrants who are directly moved to a long-term facility, if they're moved to a temporary facility first, they are excluded entirely.

I kinda doubt they're even including the immigrant concentration camps in those stats
