Counting prisoners in the census

Just be consistent.

I think a lot would depend on the state. I have no doubt that some states have some sort of permanent address maintained for the prisoner on file due to correspondences with next of kin and what not. It would be interesting to consider a policy solution for this. Though I am in favor of a statistical modeling being used for the census, anyway, because the current system is highly inaccurate.
