Hmmm... that's actually the Ratio of Prisoners to population. For "% of Total Population in Prison", you'd need to multiple the final number by 100.
@ Jason Curran - That would matter if there was a scale. But there's no scale. So it doesn't matter.
What? "Scale" doesn't matter. It's a percentage of the total for a particular state.
Correct--so Delaware is tops with 0.8% of population incarcerated (8 out of every 1000 state residents).
