    Cool, you have access to the same numbers. How would you make a comparison that makes sense of this oft repeated ‘apples to organges’ meme?

    Would you be more comfortable if we compared 1920-1950 for gulags, and US prisons? Or how about just a point in time for the USA and world prisons. OH wait, I already provided you with that with the second reference. What would make y’all happy?

      You’re asking someone to prove your shitty point for you? Bold.

        No, not at all. I’m trying to make sense of your shitty “gotcha” point, made with an oft repeated meme with no associated references. But hey, you were ‘this close’. Keep trying.
