Someone else posted total inmate numbers from 2022 and it was less that 4,000. Out of 5.5 million people, that’s doing really well compared to the U.S.
Here’s a small comparison. Oklahoma has a population less than 5 million. Yet their prison inmate population is over 20 thousand. And if you look at all the states, it’s a similar story. Especially in “red states”.
