US prison labor accounts for about 2.9% of forced labor (modern slavery) worldwide, but is also over a third of the forced prison labor population worldwide.

US Data (800,000 forced workers): ACLU & University of Chicago (2022). Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers.

Global Data (27.6M total forced labor; 2.2M forced prison labor): International Labour Organization, Walk Free, & IOM (2022). Global Estimates of Modern Slavery.

800,000 / 27,600,000 = 2.9% of total global forced labor. 800,000 / 2,200,000 = 36.3% (over a third) of global forced prison labor.
