For a long time, Russia, which was the leader in this indicator, now occupies only third place, behind Belarus and Turkey.

Russia ceded leadership in Europe in terms of the relative number of prisoners to Belarus and Turkey. The local regimes began another exacerbation of the disease to search for and neutralize internal enemies.

In our country there are 329 convicts for every 100 thousand people of the population, while in Turkey there are 335, and in Belarus - 345!

Then there were 1.1 million prisoners in the country, and now "only" 576 thousand. It would be good if this trend continues, especially since almost 600 thousand police officers and more than 250 thousand employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service are involved in their "service" to our country.
