      No one is in a US prison who has not had the opportunity to be present at their trial or know why they are charged.

      The nation I am talking about ceased to exist decades ago so whatever “your country” is it isn’t the USSR which is what we are talking about.

        and i am telling you your prision system (and mine, but mainly yours) is worse than even the exaggerations portrayed as soviet gulags.

          Not according to people I know who experienced both. In the USA you know your charges and you might not be enslaved.

          The USSR was evil and racist. It’s one of the reasons why they failed.

            the US prision system legally and literally enslaves people today. prisioners work in the US.

            the US is evil and racist today. your gulags hold almost a quarter of the planet’s entire prision population.
