This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “U.S. incarceration rate by race 2.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Sentence with November.org contact info removed from the bottom of the chart by User:Timeshifter. See Commons:Watermarks. The text at the right top of the chart was added by User:Timeshifter, and Timeshifter puts the revised chart in the public domain also. The text was added using IrfanView, a popular freeware image editor. Go to the edit menu, and then to "insert text into selection." IrfanView was also used to slightly correct the length of the middle column.
