A Matter of Time by Urban Institute

“A Matter of Time” takes a comprehensive look at the nature of long prison terms in the U.S. – how time served in state prisons has grown in recent years, who is serving the longest prison terms, and how spending a long time in prison impacts a person and their loved ones. The multi-chapter feature includes a data-driven animation illustrating how prison terms stack up to lead to mass incarceration, audio clips from interviews with people who served decades in prison, and a series of multiple line charts in a tile grid map layout illustrating trends in the prison population over time.
