The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Do you really think it’s all people that “deserve” it? Also, only 31% of the prison population is white. Do you think that’s a coincidence? Are POC that much more likely to commit crimes worthy of prison time? Or is the system maybe prejudiced in who it targets? None of this is a “different topic”. It’s all interconnected.
It’s not really even relevant. El Salvador has a smaller population than New York City (6M vs 8M) and statistics don’t really scale like that when you’re comparing a country of 6 million to a country of 333 million. The US has 4.2% of the world population and 20% of the world incarcerated population. We have more than 3 times more people in prison than the total population of El Salvador.
You’re acting like you’re intellectually superior here, but dismissing someone’s overall point because one thing they said wasn’t exactly correct is lazy and obvious, and your commitment to defending the exploitation of the unjustly incarcerated is gross.

Ok? And?
You want me to respond to you comment that isn’t factual? I did.
