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.
