I guess if the prisons where you live are funded by taxes, and there are some pedophiles in prison, then this is technically correct. ๐Ÿ˜…

1 out of every 200 Americans is in prison.

Is that including the ones in El Salvador?

No, they had their citizenship taken away.

Also probably doesn't include the number in jail awaiting trial etc.
