This was rather easy - simply use a “waterfall chart” like the ones that strategy consultants like to use. The left data point (what it was in 2014) is irrelevant, and could have possibly been shown using a dotted line for reference. The “time series” (with 2 points) is irrelevant so the line is unnecessary. 

Should’ve started with a big bar of “projected population without interventions”, and then smaller squares showing reduction due to different reasons, and then finally ended with a smaller bar on actual jail population.
