@GrantrGregory @pollhannes @rp_griffin The point of my analysis was that comparing DC to states is bad. I don’t have a good solution. Prison populations just aren’t really tracked in an appropriate way as I understand it. — PolitiTweet.org

@pollhannes @GrantrGregory @rp_griffin I don’t think using the county data really works here since there’s huge variation in terms of how much suburban territory is swept up in the county (none in DC or Philly) — PolitiTweet.org

@pollhannes @GrantrGregory @rp_griffin I agree with that! That’s why I was taking issue with reformers’ assertion that DC has one of the highest incarceration rates based on a state comparison. I think it’s a challenging question. The overall state of criminal justice data is very bad. — PolitiTweet.org
