“In 2020, there was legislation that was passed that ended what is known as prison gerrymandering, which had been the practice for during the census process where you count people in prison in the community where they are incarcerated and not in their home community,” Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition executive director Christie Donner said.
“We've know that incarceration impacts different communities differently, particularly the overuse of incarceration and over policing in predominantly communities of color and low income communities,” Donner said. “Perhaps unsurprisingly, Denver sends more people to prison than any other places state, with its big population,” Wessler said. “One of these communities, which is Sun Valley, 2%, of its population is in state prison right now. Now, imagine one out of every 50 people that you know just disappeared and went to prison tomorrow.”
For comparison, San Juan and Mineral counties have the lowest prison incarceration rates, with no residents in prison.
