Florence, Ariz.

Total Population In 2010

Incarcerated: 17,700

Not incarcerated: 7,836

Florence avoids the issue of drawing districts around prisons by holding at-large elections, where all voters choose candidates from the same pool. The town does, however, acknowledge that it benefits from the census's counting incarcerated people in its population, since local governments often receive grant money determined by those official counts.

Grafton Village, Ohio

Total Population In 2010

Incarcerated: 4,045

Not incarcerated: 2,591

The 3rd District in Grafton Village — containing the Lorain and Grafton correctional institutions — has roughly the same number of registered voters as the other three districts in the village, despite dwarfing those districts in geographic size.

The village has petitioned the state of Ohio to exclude incarcerated people from its population count. Including them would have forced it to officially be considered a "city" and require Grafton Village to spend more on public resources.

Oldham County, Ky.

Total Population In 2010

Incarcerated: 4,216

Not incarcerated: 56,100

In Oldham County, a commission decided after the 2010 census to exclude incarcerated people from its counts when attempting to draw magistrate districts of equal population. Albert Harrison, who led that commission, said he made the decision to avoid giving “a disproportional representational advantage” to the area that surrounds the prisons.

Harrison, who is now a county magistrate, represents District 3, which is one of two districts that contain prisons. The area around the prisons, known as Buckner, had roughly as many people incarcerated as permanent residents, as of the last census.
