User:Medium-Ferret/Incarceration of men draft article

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article discusses the subset of the incarcerated population that is male. Men make up a large majority of the prison population globally, although this varies by country ranging from a minimum of 80% in Hong Kong to a maximum of 98% male in countries such as Israel, Malawi and Ghana.[1]

See: List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate, which lists the gender ratio of each nation's prison population.
