@JohnFPfaff I read frequently that ~6% total US prisoners are federal. Sometimes, like here, I read it's ~11%. Which stat is right & why?
Guessing prison vs. prison AND jail? So 13.7% of prison (data here, frm BJS). With extra 750K, drops to 10%. @ChMadarpic.twitter.com/YwOSxZiTq6
So I can’t get feds down to just 6%. Maybe historical? Used to be there—abt 8% for prison in 1988. @ChMadarpic.twitter.com/QHADGv9AYX
Is some of discrep. about whether or not you count the local jail and/or probation populations? @JohnFPfaff @ChMadar
Too many people on probation: drives feds down way below 6%, to around 3% in 2013. @xenocryptsite @ChMadarpic.twitter.com/Xkv9G15xaJ
@JohnFPfaff @xenocryptsite Thanks for the clarification–it will further the cause of nice numerate criminal justice journalism!
