An interactive, evidence-graded census map of facilities holding people in custody across the lower 48 states and Washington, DC.

Why it surfaced

The map identifies 5,137 facilities and attaches evidence to each record, while distinguishing precise locations from approximate or county-level positions. Its explicit alpha status, build date, methodology links, and dataset hash make the project unusually transparent about what is known—and what is still being verified.

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.
