How do they know who returned voluntarily (column 2)?

And what about the missing column 3 - the incoming flow?

[jcon40]

The cost to incarcerate a prisoner here is what? $30-40,000 per year?

Id like to see us cut a deal with the Mexican gov to incarcerate our / their prisoners for say $5,000 (or an amount to be determined) a year.

Cut down on returnees, save our tax payers money, reduce our prison population so we have more room or our own low life's, set a real consequence for violators.

Thanks for the hard work of illustrating these figures more clearly.

Disgraceful showing by the dictator.

Does the “returns” column include people who left for any reason whatsoever (didn’t like it here, couldn’t find a job, etc.), or were they under some threat of governmental action?
