Top 15 Countries with highest number of Prisoners (2000-2021) - Highest Incarceration by Country

This is a list of countries by incarceration numbers.

Prison rates in the US are the world's highest, at 724 people per 100,000. In Russia the rate is 581.

Mass incarceration in the United States has led to several issues, including overcrowded prisons, which increase health risks and decreased psychological well-being. Additionally, the increasing number of prisoners is putting a significant strain on state budgets. Prisons must control and administer all aspects of life for inmates, which lengthy and costly list of necessities. Prison costs include adequate security, food, recreational and education opportunities, infrastructure maintenance, utility costs for the facilities, and healthcare for the prisoners. State prison spending varies greatly and can be as high as $69,355 per inmate (the average cost of an inmate in New York).

At 145 per 100,000, the imprisonment rate of England and Wales is at about the midpoint worldwide.

Many of the lowest rates are in developing countries, but overcrowding can be a serious problem.

Mass incarceration in the United States is a civil rights issue. Many argue that incarceration dehumanizes poor people and minorities, does not increase public safety, and damages already marginalized communities.

Around the world, many countries have jail occupancy rates over 100%. Kenya's jail occupancy level is currently 284%. The United States prisoner rate (number of prisoners per 100,000 people) is 639, the world's highest.
