    Where are you getting 20 years from? Most likely, most of these convictions are either already past or sub-1-year convictions for stealing, drug offences, refugee-specific offences (like leaving town) or random other small shit.

        That sentence includes “20 years”, so technically speaking, I guess you answered my question.

        But the fact that the US was in Afghanistan for 20 years is entirely unrelated to the length of convictions.

            I did a page search for “20 years” and there’s literally no other mention than the completely irrelevant bit you quoted. So where is that number coming from?
