Animated Visualization of Global Prisoner Counts

This animated video presents a ranking of countries based on their total number of prisoners. The visualization uses a 3D format where each nation is represented by a pillar topped with a cage containing a figure in an orange jumpsuit, accompanied by the country's flag and specific prisoner count data. The sequence scrolls through various countries, starting from rank #49 with Belarus and moving through nations such as Tanzania, Cambodia, Japan, Ukraine, Chile, Germany, Italy, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and France. The presentation focuses on raw population figures within the penal systems of these respective countries.
