I just saw this on social media / TikTok the author was atlantalawyer.
Basically she said the census counts prisoners as part of the population of the county where they are located. Federal resource$ and political representation depend on how that population is counted. So a prison can grow a population -- built in a low population area it can even qualify the area as a Congressional district when before they wouldn't qualify as one. These areas also become eligible for federal money.
No wonder we have more imprisoned people than any other nation worldwide and people like MTG.
