Thanks, @will-saunders—I didn't realize that the old URL was 404ing. Is there a page that links to this and other prison population data? Or is this PDF the only place, and the file itself is swapped out at the same URL? (Or if you just don't know, that's OK—it doesn't have to be your problem. :)

There are other sources for this data that provide downloadable structured data, but I only found them yesterday

I’ll put in a new issue with the nicer data source today if it checks out
