The incarceration rate in the area is also very high.

For 2002, the incarceration rate was 93 inmates per 100,000 prisoners.

But it is hard to discern any clear relationship between crime rates and the incarceration rate.

Crime drops, yet we have one of the world's highest incarceration rates.

In 2011, Louisiana's prison population stood at 39,710 for an incarceration rate of 867 per 100,000 persons.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Denmark has a low incarceration rate with a total of 3774 inmates in the country.

The effects of such high incarceration rates are also shown in other ways.

Its incarceration rate for black males is 729 per 100,000.

And the juvenile incarceration rate rose 41 percent from 1979 to 1987.
