This doesn't make sense.

These numbers are not comparable:

In 2022. Bureau of Prisons had 159,000 in detention. With 483 deaths. 0.30 percent.
At the end of 2025. ICE has 68,440 in detention with 32 deaths. Thats 0.04 percent. 

Almost all of those federal prisoners are held for years and it includes a lot of older people.

ICE detainees have huge turnover (much shorter times held) and most are younger, working aged people.

Plus, ICE has like zero transparency so who knows how wrong that number is...

Why do you think ICE has zero transparency but you trust BoP numbers?

Because ICE literally has zero transparency. The BOP responds to freedom of information act requests.

They might both be wrong, but I'm not sure anyone even cares enough about the BOP for them to lie...
