The graph demonstrates information about the amount of male and female prisoners from 1991 to 2001 in a country in Europe. Overall, it can be seen that the population of male convicts increased at the end of the time scale while the female prison population witnessed an opposite tendency. Additionally, the males in prison outnumbered the females throughout the timeframe. Looking at the figure of men in prison for further detail, it is evident that male prisoners remained unchanged from 1911 to 1921 with 2000 members. After reaching a dip in 1931 with around 10000 men, the number soared slightly and accounted for 2000 in 1951. In 1971, the figure rocketed and reached the peak at the final year of the timeframe with approximately 45000 people. Turning to the remaining statistics of the female convicts, it is apparent that the trend witnessed a sudden decline from 1911 to 1941. After dipping in 1941, the number of females rose marginally and constituted about 1500 people in 1961.
