Despite Drop in Crime, an Increase in Inmates

[Note: If you just arrived, you may not know that Fox Butterfield has been writing this story for years, ever since the crime rate started to drop. Butterfield remains flummoxed by the possibility that filling prisons (AKA the bad people place) causes a drop in crime.]
