A new report from the Prison Gerrymandering Project �examined the ten state legislative districts where, according to Census data, people held at correctional facilities account for the largest percentage of the district population.�
The group claimed that these details suggests that this “increasingly” harms “residents of rural states” and defies “some of the preconceived notions about partisan impacts.” Decisions about where to count prisoners in the 2030 Census will likely be decided in the next few years.
