    Disagree.

    In fact I find it is a better measure of oppressive goverment than most indicators.

    What you really mean to say is most goverments are oppressive and authoritarian. Show me a country with a large prison population and I will show you an authoritarian country.

    Please see the zapatistas. For non police state goverment.

      How is it a useful measure of oppressive governments when it applies to all of them?

      The Zapatistas are not a state government and they do police their territory.
