I think we are talking past each other. The total number of prisoners is a very different number than the number of people just sentenced in that year. That is all I was trying to distinguish. The total number of people in prison that year does not include the additional number of people held in county jails etc. in that year if it only tabulates those in actual prison. So the ~1.1m is still going to be lower than the number of people at any time imprisoned. It really doesn't matter much anyway that person is a reactionary asshole and I am peacing out of this thread.

oops friendly fire
What I meant was that the total number of people in prison/jails anywhere in US, charged sentenced or otherwise could easily have been 5.5 million. I have no idea where the meme op posted got its statistic, but the dbzero person in this thread is fixated on only the people that were sentenced that year, not people that were actually imprisoned during that year regardless of date of sentencing.
Yeah that is what I was saying. The number they pulled out of their ass to "refute" the total prisoner count was only the number sentenced in that year. I think if we tallied up total number of people simply jailed in that same year 5.5m would probably be right.
The meme states number of incarcerated in that year, not number of people sentenced that year. You are just a reactionary grasping at anything to absolve the US of its fascistic history.
You have yet to even provide a single source for your claim you just reacted to us pointing out this is usually pulled from WWII and includes Nazis. You just immediately lashed out with a slur. Calling you "mfer" for clearly making up Nazi apologia is not at all the same as calling a woman a c*nt in anger at being asked for a source.
You literally cannot help but call women misogynistic slurs can you.
I hope you get hit by a truck. Sincerely.
Yeah which year mfer?
Took me a second but yes.
Heads up that Justin King guy is extremely sus with ties to US intelligence and human trafficking. He made up his whole Beau persona and puts on his accent as an affect. He's shady as shit.
Voting only does anything where there is a militant movement scaring the capitalists into even allowing any reform because the alternative is dragging them into the streets. The civil rights act only worked because of the Black Panthers and a surge in direct action following the assassination of MLK.
So no it really doesn't. No such organization exists in the imperial core so until one materializes your vote means little to nothing.


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.
