Carceral EJ Mapper
About
The Carceral EJ Mapper is a tool for examining the proximity of carceral facilities in the United States to various environmental hazards. Within the context of a US state, users may apply filter conditions to determine which carceral facilities have at least a certain number of superfund sites, airports, military bases, and TRI facilities within a given proximity to the facility. The tool is useful for identifying carceral facilities and incarcerated people on the frontlines of environmental injustice in the US.
