You realise that 28 million people were held in gulags over the years? Have you calculated your numbers or did you just assume rates in America are higher than they were under Stalin?

lack of equality, economic comfort and equal social rights
sorry, but what the fuck are those if not down right oppression?
Come on, don't be unfair. El Salvador and Turkmenistan have a higher percentage of their citizens in prisons!
Yes those prisoners sadly still have rights and we can't mulch them up to enrich our soil or anything.
