In the US people that commit crimes and are conviected go to jail. In China being a Uighur puts you in danger of death, even if you are a peaceful person.

Jail is supposed to be used to keep the public safe from dangerous individuals.

The overwhelming majority of imprisoned people are in jail for nonviolent offenses.
