I did a good faith search for the 90 000 number for Cuba, and I can only see US government sources and Cuba dissident groups. Cuba's own reports put this at half the number, which puts them well below Amerika.

From here.

    Which also makes you wodner what the real number for the US is, since that one is probably also based on the state departments numbers

      The numbers don't include parole, including people with ankle bracelets and at home incarceration, so yes the real number is definitely higher.

    Even with them putting their thumbs on the scale, they still estimate they're top 5 prison nations in the world and put themselves in the company of Bad Countries (according yo the CIA and intelligence blob anyway)

      It's typical liberal control, when issues gets so unbearably bad they can't be hidden anymore, find someone even marginally worse (or invent in case it's impossible) and claim lesser evil.
