Factoids

* The West Washington Park Neighborhood Association's boundaries (West Washington Park and South Speer neighborhoods) has roughly the same population as the capitol of South Dakota, Sioux Falls. Both have about 13,000 people.

* Until the 1890s, the federal criminal justice system did not have any prisons of its own (space was leased in state prisons), and there were no direct appeals of convictions entered by juries, and generally only limited habeas corpus review of such convictions.
