Welcome to JailJawn.

JailJawn creates a graph from Philadelphia's prison population data. The raw data is scraped from the web, provided as "Daily Census" on phila.gov/prisons. The goal of this project is to save this data over time, as the website from which the data is pulled provides no archived data, and provide a visualization to easily understand the data. The data scraping has been automated to retrieve this data daily and store it using Firebase.

Current Efforts

Currently, coding efforts are focused on creating the graph from this data using amCharts.
