The line graph illustrates changes in the number of people imprisoned in an unspecified European country over a 90-year period (1911-2001). Overall, there were consistently more male prisoners than female prisoners throughout the period. Additionally, while the male prison population showed an upward trend, the female prison population displayed a generally downward trend.
For the male prisoners, the first 60 years saw relatively stable numbers. Starting at 20,000 in 1911, the figure dropped by 10,000 by 1931, after which it gradually rebounded to its initial level over the next two decades. From 1951 to 1971, the number leveled off at around 25,000, before experiencing a sharp increase, ultimately reaching 45,000 in 2001.
As for female prisoners, the initial figure stood at approximately 3,000 in 1911, followed by a dramatic decline to a low of 500 in 1941. Although there was a slight drop between 1961 and 1971, the overall trend for women was upward from the mid-century, ending the period at around 1,500 in 2001.
