Key points
 Over 9 million people are held in penal institutions
throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial detainees
(remand prisoners) or having been convicted
and sentenced. Almost half of these are in the
United States (2.09m), China (1.55m plus pretrial
detainees and prisoners in ‘administrative
detention’) or Russia (0.76m).
 The United States has the highest prison
population rate in the world, some 714 per 100,000
of the national population, followed by Belarus,
Bermuda and Russia (all 532), Palau (523), U.S.
Virgin Islands (490), Turkmenistan (489), Cuba
(487), Suriname (437), Cayman Islands (429), Belize
(420), Ukraine (417), Maldive Islands (416), St Kitts
and Nevis (415), South Africa (413) and Bahamas
(410).
 However, almost three fifths of countries (58%)
have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The rate in
England and Wales - 142 per 100,000 of the
national population - is above the mid-point in the
World List.)
 Prison population rates vary considerably between
different regions of the world, and between
different parts of the same continent. For example:
• in Africa the median rate for western African
countries is 52 whereas for southern African
countries it is 324;
• in the Americas the median rate for south
American countries is 152 whereas for Caribbean
countries it is 324;
• in Asia the median rate for south central Asian
countries (mainly the Indian sub-continent) is 55
whereas for (ex-Soviet) central Asian countries it
is 386;
• in Europe the median rate for southern European
countries is 80 whereas for central and eastern
European countries it is 184;
• in Oceania (including Australia and New Zealand)
the median rate is 111.
 Prison populations are growing in many parts of the
world. Updated information on countries included
in previous editions of the World Prison Population
List shows that prison populations have risen in
73% of these countries (in 64% of countries in
Africa, 79% in the Americas, 88% in Asia, 69% in
Europe and 69% in Oceania
