Largest prison population both in absolute size AND per capita. Also, random fact, their constitution allows prisoners to be forced into slave labour. Also, another random fact, their prisons are run for profit. None of these facts are related of course!
Next you’re going to tell me that these for-profit prisons lobby the government for harsher prison sentences for things like cannabis possession.
Not to nitpick but not ALL prisons in the US are for-profit. They should be illegal though.
Fun fact - other countries that have for-profit prisons include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Chile, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, South Korea and Thailand.
This won’t do much since most of these prisons operate under state jurisdiction, but in 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to stop the United States Department of Justice from renewing further contracts with private prisons.
Reminder that the US have never abolished slavery for prisoners and have one of the largest slave population in the world.
And an huge colonial empire ( europe/japan/korea )
The US isn’t a colonial empire.
The US is one of the biggest colonial empires in history.
Then it should be easy to provide an example of a US colony.
Nato countries, easy.
You can’t seriously believe that, come on.
