Question: I have an assignment for Applied GIS and need to find information on prison populations across the US. I need help narrowing my topic and finding articles that show digital mapping.

Answer given to question: After learning where she had searched, Google, ASC and Criminal Justice Abstracts, I gave her a handout I'd prepared for one of the sociology classes outlining valuable resources on the web for criminial justice information. I also helped her with how to find the full text of articles in CJA and she seemed much relieved. I called the professor to let him know I'd suggested websites in addition to some usual databases and he was fine with that.
The criminal justice handout can be found on the p drive under "Library Instruction" in the SOC file under "resources" the "To get you started" file.
