I'm sure North Korea is in first, but idk if they even count.

North Korea doesn't release statistics of imprisonment in their country or allow anyone to inspect the prisons, but according to the US State Department (so heavily biased against NK) there are between 80 and 240 thousand prisoners in the country. Per 100,000 population, that would be between 308 and 923. At the high end that's well above the USA but at the low end that would put them around about 15th in the world, below (e.g.) Russia, Brazil and Panama. If we split the difference between the two estimates, that would put NK second, behind only the USA.

It's definitely on the higher end. Did you know that one of the first things parents teach their children there is not even to whisper, lest the mice hear you and rat you out?

I too believe every piece of propaganda I am told.
