One Size Does Not Fit All: Why the Census Bureau Should Change the Way it Counts Prisoners discusses how the Census Bureau's approach to counting people in prison---as residents of prison towns rather than their home towns---hurts communities that lose large numbers of people to prison and runs counter to the Bureau's mission to provide data that paints an accurate picture of the nation's communities. By Patricia Allard, Kirsten Levinston, and Molly K. Biklen
