      Now do private prisons to see which states will be the last to legalize marijuana.

      I was going to ask how the south could afford to keep ~1% of its total population imprisoned and then I remembered how much money the rest of us have to send them every year

      I guess American teachers aren’t wrong when they say several of you will be going to jail

      1% of the total population being ACTIVELY in jail in a couple of states is bonkers

      I live in vermont and they just don’t arrest anyone, ever, for anything. There’s like 3 cops in Burlington lol

      Since we all enjoy data that is not misleading, I have to ask….how have you factored in that many prisoners are not held in the state where they committed the crime?

      0.5-1% of population in prision is crazy. Must be the highest rate in the world.

      In most european countries is about 0.1%.

      The southern states… not that surprising when you go down the rabbit hole of how did they replace slave labor after slavery ended? Well buddies, most owners refused to pay wages so they began cheaply rented out… you guessed it. PRISONERS

      Well, now I understand better why conservatives think America is a country awash in violent crime.

      It is, *for their states*.

      Someone needs to make a gif of all of these state heatmaps back to back to visually show they are all what you’d expect

      Here’s a picture of a white guy in a Spirit Halloween prisoner costume for some reason.

      Pretty cool visualization. Definitely needs to be noted that it’s not just a map of criminality though. It’s just as much a map of attitudes toward prosecution, and this format is not great for parsing the two out from eachother. Still cool to see and definitely useful in that overall discussion.

      I’m sure folks know this but at a glance it can be easy to forget things like that

      The more you look at maps of America, the more you realize how much wealthy blue states subsidize the South.
