There are just over 2,000 DRIs in the entire US, 46 of which are women. Alabama is leading the list with >300 inmates per 10M inhabitants.

Why per 10 million?
Right? Alabama doesn’t even have 10 million people.
100k seems ubiquitous, but I guess they use 1M for state numbers. 10M truly is silly. My only guess is that most other states are around <10/10M and they wanted something to compare that even a politician could understand.
Fair enough, thought of converting it to 100k but was too lazy lol
I mean, you can choose any denominator, as long as you’re using the same one to compare statistics
Sure but using a non standard denominator makes off more difficult to compare to other metrics.
Sorry, what is the “standard denominator” for comparing executions?
Powers of a thousand; per thousand, per million, per billion, etc
Considering this is US, at least they’re not using football fields
