Sample Answer 
The information given in the chart makes comparisons in the number of prisoners in 
five different countries from 1930 to 1980. 
While the figures for imprisonment fluctuated over the period shown, it is clear that 
the United States had the highest number of prisoners overall. Great Britain, on the 
other hand, had the lowest number of prisoners for the majority of the period. 
As can be seen from the graph, the United States had the highest number of 
prisoners in four out of the six years shown on the chart, and in 1980 the figure for 
this country peaked at nearly 140,000 prisoners. Canada had the highest figures for 
imprisonment in 1930 and 1950, with about 120,000 prisoners in both years. 
The figures for New Zealand and Australia fluctuated between 40,000 and 100,000 
prisoners, although New Zealand's prison population tended to be the higher of the 
two. 
In contrast to the figures for the other countries, the number of prisoners in Great 
Britain rose steadily between 1930 and 1980, reaching a peak of about 80,000 at the 
end of the period.
