For the past twenty-five years, trends in the US have pushed incarceration totals up every year. National Geographic, in 2004, reported that the incarcerated population of the US was 2.5 million.

- The population of China is approximately 3.5 billion people.
- The US represents 5% of the total world population.
- China represents half of the world's population.
- There are approximately 3 million people incarcerated in the US today.
- There are approximately 1.6 million people incarcerated in China today (including house arrest, jail incarceration, re-education, and prison).
- The US incarcerated population represents 25% of the total incarcerated population of the world (1.16% of the national population).
- The Chinese incarcerated population represents less than half of 1% of the incarcerated population of the world (0.21% of the national population).
