    ....the government used to imprison Blacks and other colored people on cooked up charges, and then used to give them extremely harsh prison sentences.

    Sounds just like the US to be honest, the incarceration rate of black americans compared to whites is insane:

    Quote
    One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in their life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males, if current incarceration trends continue.

    Leaving race aside, they've got the most prisoners of any developed country in the world; estimated at about 2.4 million (that's disregarding all the secret/black op/prison ships etc).
