Incarcerated Americans

- The only decade in which we had a decline in incarcerated Americans was 1940-1950
-There are 2 million more incarcerated Americans in 2008 than there were in 1980
-The graph takes place between 1920 and 2008
-Drugs have put the most people in federal jail in 2010
Fallacy-Drugs have always put the most people in jail
Fallacy-the number of incarcerated people will continue to rise
-the number of people in federal prison is less than those in other prisons combined
