It's a bit hard to find the total number of Americans that have gone through the prison system since u.s history spans 200 years, but if we at least use the graph here showing the the rise of incarceration in the states, we can see the u.s easily imprisoned millions from roughly the 1987 to now. And in the rough 30 year on the graph, and on current prisoner data you can extrapolate there being somewhere between 30-50 million Americans that've gone to prison. More than the "18,000,000 thatve gone to the Gulag camps" if we use the anti-communist dogmatists own numbers.
