        The post is interesting. It is very possible that the is a socio-economic reason for the trend.

        Well.. those rural folks thought they would never be affected by all those aggressive "law enforcement" policies.

        This is what happens when we allow Orwellian escalation of unfettered power in policing

        More people in prison in a modern form of slavery so they can be exploited for cheap labour

        replaced with prisons too. A lot of communities across the US wouldn't exist without them.http://business.financialpost.com/news/we-have-no-other-way-foreclosure-hit-california-town-turns-to-building-prisons-to-keep-itself-afloat/wcm/0c549bd5-d5fb-4d71-8219-3bed1e02052e …

        In Scioto County, Ohio law enforcement has become a business much to the detriment of the citizens. Lock em up and pick their pockets.

        Demographic breakdown? I suspect it is racist. I have 6 prisons within 50 miles of my place. The two county prisons look like their construction budgets followed the same principles as Tom Prices travel budget. Privatization has made incarceration a sector of the economy.

        Think of all that we could do with the money we waste on building and stocking prisons. 22% of the world's prison population is in USA.
