“Growing number of US states target ‘prison gerrymandering’”

Reuters reports that more than a dozen states and 200 localities have moved to end or change the practice of counting people where they’re incarcerated instead of where they’re from: “The Prison Policy Initiative (PPI), which has closely tracked and worked on the issue for decades, estimates that roughly half of the US population now lives in a city, county, or state that has moved to end or restrict prison gerrymandering.”
