Philadelphia Has the Highest Rate of Individuals Incarcerated

I wish that this were an April Fools’ joke, but its not.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported today that the Justice Policy Institute has released a new report stating that Philadelphia has the highest rate of individuals incarcerated per capita. The report, entitled Jailing Communities: The Impact of Jail Expansion and Effective Public Safety, states that there were 602 people incarcerated in Philadelphia per 100,000 residents in 2006.

This isn’t surprising, considering the recent study conducted by the Pew Center on the States, which concluded that there are nearly 1 in every 100 adults incarcerated in the United States. Read more about that study here.

Very satisfied by the service provided by Shuttleworth! Before the commitment, Mr. Brad Shuttleworth had a detailed zoom meeting free of charge on my case which made is super easy for me to trust him. He gave me thorough instructions how to prepare the case on my end and settled my case very quickly, much better than what I expected. I will definitely ask him for help in the future if I need his legal service again and strongly recommend to anyone I know.
