Errata:
Louisiana
Incarceration,
Helicopter
Manufacturer
3/03/00
Last week's article on the
most incarcerated state, Louisiana (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/126.html#louisianaprisons),
accidentally listed the nationwide incarceration rate as 483 per 100,000,
compared with Louisiana's rate of 736. According to criminal justice
think tanks, including the Justice Policy Institute, the nationwide rate
is in fact 674, and has now passed Russia, again taking first place.
Also, last week's editorial
incorrectly identified the helicopter manufacturer in Rep. Gedjenson's
district as "Shirosky Aircraft." The correct name is "Sikorsky."
