Incredible visualization of the frustratingly huge scale and history of incarceration in Louisiana, via @verainstitute, co-designed by my pal @Jill_hubley

@StevenACohen2 How about Jackie Robinson Field? Nobody likes corporate stadium names anyway, so why even bother with a new deal when the contract with Citi expires? #LGM

@verainstitute And this is truly a statewide problem. After Katrina, New Orleans downsized jail capacity from an outrageously bloated 7,500 to 1,250. During this period, parishes across the state went in the other direction and added 14,000 jail beds.

[Chris Henrichson @chenrichson]

New @verainstitute interactive underscores that a huge glut of jail capacity is the foundation of the Louisiana's carceral infrastructure. The result is the highest pretrial incarceration rate in the U.S., and much more...https://t.co/9XMlgjuft0

@verainstitute Private prisons also have a major presence. GEO Group has contracts with ICE. La Salle Corrections has IGAs with local governments of operate a jail in the parish, which usually locks up people for state prison system and ICE. Only TX detains more people for ICE than LA.

@hamiltonnolan This is a perfect example of why the op-ed job at the times needs to be time limited.

🧵 Our community is grieving today. As it stood, we hoped with heavy hearts to share @shailadewan’s story published today in @nytimes on the crisis in Harris Co Jail. Instead, we must solemnly relay that yet another 3 people have died in just 3 days. https://t.co/miv1UL4fGb

@JessPish @NAFellows @NewAmerica Amazing!!! Congratulations!! I can’t wait for the book.

@MJDVermeer The last time BJS collected data (1999)--program staff only accounted for 6% of staff. BJS has stopped asking this question on account of poor response rates. And there is little to indicate that jails have done anything to enhance programming in more recent years.

Jails in 48 large cities detain 40k fewer ppl (30%) than ten years ago—but jail payrolls have largely remained unchanged and jail budgets have increased. The project of ending mass incarceration will not be complete until we stop investing in mass incarceration.

[Vera Institute of Justice @verainstitute]

Jail populations in big cities across the US have declined nearly 30% in the last decade.

But curiously, our research shows that while fewer people are locked up behind bars in major urban centers, jail spending is rising in cities across the country. https://t.co/Z8FYwEWM6o

[Chris Henrichson @chenrichson]

@MJDVermeer Thanks for asking. The "more per person" is not more resources dedicated per incarcerated individual. About 75% jail staff are corrections officers, and as jail pops decline these position are not being converted to new program, education, and medical staff.
