Este m\u00e9todo de conteo se conoce como <strong>Gerrymandering de prisiones<\/strong>, y distorsiona la democracia. La manipulaci\u00f3n de las prisiones desv\u00eda el poder pol\u00edtico hacia las \u00e1reas rurales menos pobladas donde se encuentran las prisiones y lejos de las comunidades urbanas a las que la gente regresar\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Preguntas frecuentes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677012602249\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es Prison Gerrymandering?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Con el gerrymandering penitenciario, las personas en prisi\u00f3n se cuentan como residentes de su lugar de reclusi\u00f3n en lugar de sus comunidades de origen. Debido a que las personas encarceladas a menudo son transportadas lejos de sus hogares, esta pr\u00e1ctica corrompe el conteo de poblaci\u00f3n de los distritos y puede resultar en una representaci\u00f3n e influencia pol\u00edtica injustas. Al inflar artificialmente las poblaciones de ciertas comunidades, el gerrymandering de las prisiones otorga a los verdaderos residentes de los distritos penitenciarios una mayor influencia pol\u00edtica a expensas de todos los dem\u00e1s. Esto no solo es injusto, sino que va en contra de la noci\u00f3n fundamental de que todos tenemos la misma voz en el gobierno.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677012610561\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfC\u00f3mo afecta la manipulaci\u00f3n de las prisiones a Michigan?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">En Michigan, muchas prisiones est\u00e1n ubicadas en \u00e1reas rurales, donde la poblaci\u00f3n es generalmente m\u00e1s peque\u00f1a. Las personas encarceladas en estas prisiones se cuentan de manera desproporcionada como residentes de estos distritos, lo que les da m\u00e1s representaci\u00f3n en el gobierno y en la votaci\u00f3n. Debido a que los presos en Michigan no pueden votar, su voz se asigna efectivamente a la poblaci\u00f3n rural local. La mayor\u00eda de las personas en las prisiones de Michigan provienen de \u00e1reas urbanas y tienen una identidad racial o \u00e9tnica minoritaria. Esto significa que las comunidades de color est\u00e1n pol\u00edticamente en desventaja ya que el poder de voto se transfiere a las comunidades blancas rurales.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learn-more\">Aprende m\u00e1s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ver el documental <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NhGWjeDJNp0\">Trazar la l\u00ednea: dentro de la lucha para poner fin a la manipulaci\u00f3n en las prisiones<\/a> de Great Lakes Beacon que explica Prison Gerrymandering en Michigan y presenta a varios miembros de VAAC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre la manipulaci\u00f3n en las prisiones, lea la Iniciativa de pol\u00edtica penitenciaria <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.prisonersofthecensus.org\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonersofthecensus.org\" target=\"_blank\">PROYECTO DE GERRYMANDERING EN LA PRISI\u00d3N<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"take-action\">Tomar acci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/actionnetwork.org\/letters\/0f0f02a5b9bd4c3877061e81fc4b32a68ff9f9e7?source=direct_link&amp;\">Contacte a su representante<\/a> HOY y los insto a que sometan a votaci\u00f3n ma\u00f1ana el proyecto de ley SB 494 (<a href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/end-gerrymandering-now\/\">M\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u00danase a nuestro equipo de Gerrymandering de prisiones<\/strong>, por <a href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/contact\/\">Ponerse en contacto con VAAC.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"see-vaac-posts-related-to-ending-prison-gerrymandering\">Vea las publicaciones de VAAC relacionadas con Terminar con la manipulaci\u00f3n de prisiones<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2026\/04\/capitol-day-2026-educating-lawmakers-on-voting-access-and-prison-gerrymandering\/\">D\u00eda en el Capitolio 2026: Educando a los legisladores sobre el acceso al voto y la manipulaci\u00f3n de distritos electorales en las c\u00e1rceles.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2025\/08\/prison-gerrymandering-in-michigan-distorting-democracy\/\">Gerrymandering en prisiones de Michigan: Distorsionando la democracia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2024\/12\/prison-gerrymandering-legislation-moving-forward\/\">Manipulaci\u00f3n de distritos en prisiones: comun\u00edquese con su representante estatal hoy mismo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2024\/10\/prison-policy-initiative-local-governments-and-prison-gerrymandering\/\">Iniciativa de pol\u00edtica penitenciaria: los gobiernos locales y la manipulaci\u00f3n de los distritos electorales en las prisiones<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2024\/06\/states-were-incredibly-successful-at-reallocating-incarcerated-people-to-their-home-addresses-in-2020-a-review-of-the-data\/\">Los estados tuvieron un \u00e9xito incre\u00edble en reasignar a las personas encarceladas a sus domicilios en 2020: una revisi\u00f3n de los datos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/votingaccessforall.org\/es\/2024\/05\/15419\/\">La mayor\u00eda de las personas encarceladas regresar\u00e1n a sus hogares;
