Source on 8x lower? Mortality was definitely lower in the later years of the GULAG system than it currently is in US prisons, but numbers I've seen were <2x (maybe a bit more with probably the rampant COVID deaths :amerikkka: )
Oh wait I get it, because you were just that much less likely to be imprisoned...
Communists maliciously increased people's life expectancy so they'd spend longer in gulag.
Evil USSR, where you were like ~8x less likely to be in a gulag when compared to current US prison rates.
I remember someone linking how the population of Gulags rapidly decreased after 1917, but I don't remember from where. Have to find it!

From what i understand the US prison system has more people than the GULAG ever did, both in absolute numbers and per capita numbers.
Yes but the gulag imprisoned the rich and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs!
I think that was @Alaskaball a couple months ago.
