Prison Policy Initiative: Ending Prison-based Gerrymandering

"Inspired by our work, Maryland, Delaware and New York State recently passed laws that end prison-based gerrymandering by counting incarcerated people at home for state and local redistricting purposes. In August, the New York Times hailed the New York law in an editorial declaring that ending prison-based gerrymandering will bring benefits to all, and calling for the new law to be emulated around the country. The editorial cites our research on prison-based gerrymandering in the New York Senate, in upstate counties, and in the upstate city of Rome."
