Two juxtaposed graphs document the rise in use of violence by Rikers Island corrections officers on inmates from 2004 - 2014. On a different scale, a blue line traces the rise in the share of all income in New York City which has gone to the top 1% -- from 12% in 1980 to 38% in 2012. Particle physics tracks loop in the background.
