NY gets lumped with the rest of the country. NY (the state) incarceration rate is lower than the country average by quite a bit. And NYC rate of incarceration is even lower.

And there's so much fear-mongering.
A white person from the midwest is made to believe they would get murdered the first day in a NYC subway.
A black person from NYC is made to believe they would be wrongly convicted for a crime or brutalized by white cops the moment they step in the midwest.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.
Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/16/us/jaylan-butler-eastern-illinois-police.html

And what’s the crime rate for the state compared to other states? It’s not like incarceration rate is inversely correlated with the crime rate - otherwise Nee Orleans would be one of the safest cities in the country instead of one of the most violent.
