Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

In a news release Monday, officials said the two broke out a window in their cell Nov. 7 at the Turney Center Industrial Complex annex in Clifton.

Good hunting and foraging skills, however. Very resourceful, gentlemen.

Queener was serving 10 years for aggravated robbery. Garland was serving five years for attempted aggravated burglary and theft.

Huh, guess they might need a little more rehabilitation on that one.

In their defense, maybe the prison just had really crappy cigarettes?

The ACLU will be all over this. We can't have prisoners smoking crappy smokes, now can we?

It doesn't seem like anyone knew they had made a cigarette run until the "contraband" was discovered! Wait a minute, who is dumber: the criminals for coming back or the jailers that didn't know they had left in the first place?!

Don't laugh, nicotine fits can be pretty darn bad.

This is the reason that I support the death penalty. No jail is 100% escape-proof. And these were violent offenders.
