What This Foreign Cell Figure Means

This game uses World Prison Brief country and territory data.

  • The values come from the same prison-system profiles used by World Prison Brief for its highest-to-lowest tables.
  • They are not crime rates. They are institutional prison-system characteristics.
  • That means legal definitions, reporting practices, pre-trial detention, and state policy all affect the number.

Foreign-prisoner share is one of those prison metrics that immediately drags migration policy into the room.
