Reading comprehension is hard,I understand. Try again maybe?

Yearend prison population counts are the product of a yearly national cen- sus in which the responsible Federal agency asks each State correctional institution (or its central reporting agency), the District of Columbia, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons to report summary statistics. The census is one among many other censuses and surveys that together make up the series called National Prisoner Statistics

So, that's prison population counts, not sentencing. Double or. Heck, triple! That gives you ~750k.

Also you have absolutely no knowledge of my stance towards us or any other matter. What you dispute isa couple of simple facts shown by records.

Anyone placed in jail or prison is a prisoner and incarcerated. Imprisoned doesn't necessarily mean tried or sentenced, just jailed. One can be arrested and imprisoned without ever being charged with anything. It's actually super common in the US.

Reading comprehension clearly is not your strong suit either but I will give you the charity that english may not be your first language and you are not familiar with the terminology of the US carceral system.
