The online counterpart to Mother Jones magazine published a special feature on Wednesday that showcases how the Web can turn a vast and potentially tedious assortment of statistics about a forgotten story into a powerful piece of journalism.
Called "Debt to Society," the Motherjones.com project uses interactive maps and graphs to assess what the United States' obsession with locking people up has cost each state since 1980. The project pays particular attention to the rising percentage of prisoners who are drug offenders.
Visit them at http://www.motherjones.com/prisons/atlas.html and let us discuss this matter.
Thank you.
