Most prisons aren't run for profit. They cost the taxpayers a huge amount of money.

They're tryin' to build a prison (for you and me to live in)

We have a lot of people committing crimes.

Like the graphic! If you remove the colour, it's still easy enough to find the states that have receding values.

how are people downvoting you for this? How is "don't be an asshole" unpopular?

>Clever to use federal prisons for the offense breakdown.

>That doesn't make a graph that makes drugs look like the driver though. Gotta exclude state prisons if you want to present it that way.

Bull.

State prisons, and jails, have huge numbers of drug offenders in them too: which you conveniently leave out of your add-up...

When you add federal, state, and local together; drug charges are still the #1 cause of internment.

Trying to think of why this would be an important study....and I'm failing to come up with anything.

Jim Carey - Stop breaking the law Asshole!

How about people obey laws no matter how ridiculous they are, and know that they can vote to instill what they desire, mainly using drugs it seems…

But the world's response to demand for Maine residences should be building more. Big job creator.

Crisis? If you want to see a crisis, just totally ignore what they did to get in there, prioritize feeling good about yourself for doing so, let 'em all out, see what happens.

After all the dead bodies have been cleared away, you can feel stupid for having repeated history because you ignored it.

Also probably ruining the society your children are growing up in.

Bad data. Also, it's a crime crisis, not prison crisis.

So hide the disparity in source data, then?

Legalize drugs and most of this goes away.

I admire your optimism

Well, we pretty much let the few remaining banks turn into a cartel, so yeah.

That much power in a few hands never tends to end well.

Fair enough.

Dual axis line graph with total assets on x1 and # of failures on x2, either 2 different colors for the lines or solid and dashed. Y remains as time.

Another day another misleading visualization with a likely agenda

This is a result of allowing lobbying.

Yeah this thing needs an update

Oh yay! Looks like it’s getting to be a good time to buy for me!

Message of this visualization is that failure of few big banks was followed by failures of many banks. Without number of banks message will be incomplete. Any suggestions how to cover these three dimensions in one visualization? Time, Value and number of banks.

Yep, here is an infographic showing the breakdown of those incarcerated on drug offenses. Most are in local jails, then state prisons, then federal prisons.

Federal prisons may have the highest proportion, but they have the lowest amount of people total in them for drug uses.

One in 5 people who are incarcerated are incarcerated on drug offenses. While it may not be the 45% percent of federal prisons, it’s still hundreds of thousands of people, and you could still make the argument that drug users are flooding prisons, (as one of the above comments claimed was not the case) depending on what you think flooding means.

This is the most comprehensive thing ever with even more really good graphics.

AI will be great!

I's the humans in power using it, that are likely to do something weird with it.

Like tools are awesome, but they can also be used to brutally murder people.

Same as anything else, when you know there's a danger, you take some time to put some safety measures in place.
