Q: Are there any statistics on how many people are wrongly jailed in China?
11 years 9 weeks ago in Visa & Legalities - China
Now come on they don't even put any crime stories on t.v. why in the world would there be a statistic on how many people are wrongly jailed in China? Get real it doesn't exist!!
There are no accurate statistics on anything in China.
Amonk:
I am pretty sure the numbers on dissidents are quite accurate. Phone numbers, ID card numbers, numbers of bullets in them...
I don't know,but I saw an interesting stat on TV. The US has 3% of the worlds population and 25% of its prisoners. Thats what privatizing prisons does.
The prison population per 100,000 of the national population: US 716, China 121, Canada 114
Scandinavian:
maybe that picture would change if China punished traffic violations
GuilinRaf:
So true regarding the private prisons!
Their main goal is to have as many "guests" as possible. Which means that recidivism, not rehabilitation, is in their best financial interests.
I truly believe that private prisons are a huge mistake that only benefit the share-holders.
Amonk:
Prison industrial complex is getting nearly as bad as military industrial
