Countries With Highest Prison Population Rate by Kingosytex(op): 9:18pm On Jul 21, 2024
As of January 2024, El Salvador had the highest prisoner rate worldwide, with over 1,000 prisoners per 100,000 of the national population. Cuba, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, and American Samoa, rounded out the top five countries with the highest rate of incarceration.

Homicides in El Salvador

El Salvador is not only the country with the highest prison rate worldwide, but also the country with the highest murder rate, reaching over 50 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2023. A high number of the countries with the highest homicide rate are located in Latin America.
Prisoners in the United States.

The United States is home to the largest number of prisoners worldwide. Roughly 1.8 million people were incarcerated in the U.S. at the end of 2023. In China, the estimated prison population totaled to 1.69 million people that year. Other nations had far fewer prisoners.

The largest share of the U.S. prisoners in federal correctional facilities were of African-American origin. As of 2020, there were 345,500 black, non-Hispanic prisoners, compared to 327,300 white, non-hispanic inmates. The U.S. states with the largest number of prisoners in 2022 were Texas, California and Florida.

Over 160,000 prisoners in state facilities were sentenced for rape or sexual assault, which was the most common cause of imprisonment. Second most common were murder, followed by aggravated or simple assault.

Nigeria is not listed because it's the world's largest prison.

Those that have managed to japa are ex-convicts.
Those in Nigerian prisons are in hell.

If you die in Nigeria, you died a prisoner and the ones that die in Nigerian prison become the demons we pray against.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, from 1956/1957. may God deliver Nigeria from those who want to destroy it.

Confusedlady I may not respond to you in the other thread, because I have been banned from commenting in the politics section since yesterday. I saw your response but can't reply.
Don't know if you're the one that reported me.

Don't know what you meant by this, but I sincerely hope that it's not an insult, please could you kindly explain in the language I'll understand?

No thanks to the extra-judicial killings by uniformed men that decongest the prison population in Nigeria. Never mind that the real criminals are living free too, with allowances for clothing, entertainment and travel to boot.

The reason that Nigeria isn't on the list, is the incompetence of our police and her sister forces.

You either continue complaining as long as you exist or you work to make a difference not to be affected by Nigeria.

Your choice.
