FACT CHECK TIME! Here’s what our fact checkers found:
- The U.S. does, in fact, have about 25% of the world’s incarcerated people. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world.
- While the video says that 41% of juveniles and young adults have been arrested by the time they turn 23, we actually found that it’s between 25% and 41%.
- Yep, children as young as 13 have been sentenced to die in prison.
- And solitary confinement? That’s definitely considered torture under international law.
