I tired of fisher bull$hit all day long. I want to do a very basic analysis. I hope this can shut someone's big mouth up, at least for a while.

I am an engineer, my major includes Statistical Science, C4ISR(basic), Operations Research, Linear algebra in National Defense University of China. My instinct tell me containing 1000,000 prisoners are huge projects.

Let's use the data of the most famous police state of America as an example:

The American criminal justice system holds almost 2.3 million people in 1,833 state prisons, 110 federal prisons, 1,772 juvenile correctional facilities, 3,134 local jails, 218 immigration detention facilities, and 80 Indian Country jails as well as in military prisons, civil commitment centers, state psychiatric hospitals, and prisons in the U.S. territories.

Now we have a basic idea how many facilities we need to contain 2 million people, let's talk about how much money we need. This is simpler.

The Economics of the American Prison System
The American prison system is massive. So massive that its estimated turnover of $74 billion eclipses the GDP of 133 nations. What is perhaps most unsettling about this fun fact is that it is the American taxpayer who foots the bill.

The American Prison Business

The average cost of incarcerating an American prisoner varies from state to state. Some states, like Indiana have managed to keep prices low at around $14,000 per inmate. While states like New York pay around $60,000 to keep its citizens behind bars. The costs of running the American prison system is expensive and has become increasingly so despite public opposition.

I hope those spammers can shut up at least for a while, probably they won't. Otherwise, their boss will kick their a$$ for overtime work during Covid-19 pandemic.

Since the CCP hides reality from the Chinese people you'll be hard pressed to find footage of the inside of a Chinese prison. For all we know 12 people are crammed into a cell that would only house 1 or 2 in the US. So your example of using the US is not a good baseline.

Inside a Chinese Prison: An American’s Perspective

Opening the corridor door to cell B218 revealed an empty, moldy room the size of a racquetball court. As I was pushed inside I was full of terror. The corridor door closed and a side door to the “inner cell” opened, with native Chinese prisoners motioning me inward to the sleeping and working quarters.

The inner cell was the same size but held 30 prisoners, all sleeping on the concrete floor. There were no blankets or pillows and the room was so crowded that most prisoners slept on their sides with arms draped over each other like embracing couples. Near the back was an older prisoner indicating he was making room for me to lie down. Dazed and confused, I crossed the cell like a cat, careful not to step on the heads, arms or bodies of other prisoners. My concussion and the long day of coercive interrogation had left me exhausted and I lay down to sleep.

In Chinese jails, prisoners begin working on their first day of detention regardless of the circumstances. The right of having a phone call upon arrest is unheard of, and most have no contact with the outside world throughout the entire time they are incarcerated. Many are jailed for months without ever being formally charged, then released without going to trial.

Each day at 6:30 a.m. the cell leader woke everyone by clapping his hands to begin another routine day. Thirty men lined up to brush their teeth while simultaneously using a single hole in the ground as our only toilet. After washing and using the toilet, prisoners arranged themselves in rows sitting cross-legged to chant communist slogans and recite detention regulations.

Number of prison executions in the US in 2019: 22

On the other hand numbers in China are murkier and if this figure below is true you have wonder just how many are in jail.

Usa solution to black people.

Two step: Try to kill them by police. Yes or no?
No: then put them on jail and keep them there for ever.

There's actually tons of footage, note the pillows and blankets.
