The projected u.s. population for the year 2020 is 323,654,000. if the rate of prisoners per 100,000 stays the same as in 1997, about how many prisoners do you expect will be in the system in 2020?
I expect 100,000 prisoners in the system in 2020, because there always will be a criminals or killers. For example, someone kills his wife because she cheated on him or drug dealers who rob gas stations so they can buy some drugs etc.
