Gulags Quote by Matt Taibbi
““Our prison population, in fact, is now the biggest in the history of human civilization. There are more people in the United States either on parole or in jail today (around 6 million total) than there ever were at any time in Stalin’s gulags. For what it’s worth, there are also more black men in jail right now than there were in slavery at its peak.””

![“[Albert]Camus had denounced the gulag and Stalin's trials. Today we can see that he was right. To say that there were concentration camps in the USSR at the time was blasphemous, something very serious indeed. Today we think about the USSR with the camps also in mind, but before it just wasn't…” quote by Catherine Camus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7d9/catherine-camus-12238_camps_albert-camus-had-denounced-the-gulag-and_163819.jpg)
