The rest are in undeclared labor camps
Goes for both
US labor camps are not undeclared (though extraterritorial black sites are). They’re called prisons, and the labor is slave labor, thanks to the 13th amendment.
Isn't that the same as Jails in the US which is separate from prison statistics?
Jail is where you go for the night when arrested for disorderly conduct and are released the next day.
And in the US, jail can be up to just short of a year.
So pretty similar to the US.
I'd like to point out, 'proper' jail, for misdemeanor level offenses, is 'up to a year,' but I personally know individuals who have been in jail (where people awaiting trial stay, in addition to people convicted of misdemeanors) for over three years now, still waiting on their trial.
That meme is working extra hard today but it's just so perfect for the occasion.
Jail is usually for holding during due process and for sentences up to a year. Prison is generally for sentences longer than a year.

Not always.
Xinjiang reeducation camps were closed around 2022 though?
Source: The US propaganda you received and believe uncritically.
What's next, you explaining their inherent need to lie because of their race?
The reeducation camps closed years ago. Here you have a western source claiming so:

Surely a champion of Uyghur rights would be aware of this already?
