    the United States has the sixth highest incarceration rate in the world, at 531 people per 100,000

    That gives 0.5% of America by my math, which would be 0.02% of the world population. I have no idea where the 22% is coming from, it’s off by 3 orders of magnitude.

    Edit: I missed that it said prison population, I thought it was taking overall population.
