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.

      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.

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