State prisons and federal prisons are two different types of prison. The state-level data only has state-level prisons. Federal prisons are in national data alone.

Are you suggesting that southern states have better equality? 🤔

I noticed the same thing. It looks like the Blue States are imprisoning more people of color than then Red States. Throw in the population density in those States and it makes it even worse.

Let me all out, problem solved.

Yea, this shit is wrong

I love the idea of the whole world just collectively saying "nah we aren't dealing with this anymore," and just not showing up the following day for work. And if everyone was just relaxed about it, no anarchy or panic, but everyone just calmly saying "nope"

The solution is to just stop working

It’s almost as if people are more racially biased in areas where they don’t see and interact with other races. Yet, the media portrays the opposite. Weird how that happens

You'd think with all the prisons, the US would have fewer mass shootings. But they're a major outlier for both, way off the charts.

Very sus

Sad that drug offenses make up that much of federal inmates

While raising the rent.

I find this very interesting because I think as expected the housing market prices are shrinking in most places, except for some states....more then I thought would still be growing.

My hypothesis on why is that either you have to have a lot of money initially before you move and retire in those state (i.e. Maine, Delaware) therefore the price increase doesn't really have much of an affect on you OR you still think that these states are a cheaper cost of living compared to the state in which you currently live (i.e. West Virginia, South Carolina, Arizona, etc...)

Compliments the most religious states perfectly!

Addendum for context around for profit prisons.

% of overall prison population in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, and Ohio has grown quite a bit since 2000.

Conspiracy theory: rich people are buying all the houses to force us out of comfortable work from home jobs.

This graph is showing the high mark then the January level? Interesting. I wonder if there's a way to get the minimum/negative growth in there too...

Prisons are great for humanity and mass incarceration in the US has saved many lives.

In what way?
