Currently in the U.S.
there are 5% of the world population and 25% of the world inmates
population. “The most free country” leads in the absolute number of
people behind bars, and in the percentage of convicts per capita. 2.2
million people are serving a sentence in the U.S. prisons. It's half a
million more than in China, which ranks second (although the U.S.
population is four times less).
Prison-industrial complex
Currently in the U.S. there are more convicted criminals than slaves half a century ago. One American in fifty is involved in the work of the prison system, because more than two million prisoners are in need of clothes, food, treatment, safe-keeping and shelter. Annual turnover of the industry exceeds $70 billion, and economists have even invented a special term “the Prison-industrial complex.”
