This is an alphabetical list of countries and some dependent territories and subnational areas which lays out the incarceration rate of each.

Incarceration rates and counts

The World Prison Brief (WPB) may or may not incorporate juvenile incarceration numbers into the totals for each country, dependent territory, or subnational area. The data below is the latest available at WPB at the time the data was copied here. See the individual WPB country and subnational area pages for more info on data, dates, juvenile numbers, and much more. See the Notes section below too. It has info on the United Kingdom, etc.. Asterisk (*) indicates "Incarceration in LOCATION" or "Crime in LOCATION" links. ''Note: Table data fully updated Oct 22, 2024. Some individual countries since then.'' ''Note: See N/A definition. "Not available" in this case.'' Rates are per 100,000 inhabitants. Counts are the number of incarcerated.

Territories or other subnational areas

To keep the above chart more compact the country names may be stripped from the territories or other subnational areas. Here is that info as provided by World Prison Brief:
