Your Turn
For this exercise I took to Twitter to find a dataset that makes DC distinct from the states of US (in 2020).
Use the your-turn script in 02_07
w to make this map, ensuring to add a guide item for District of Columbia which does not contain any federal prisons. You’ll need to go through the same steps I did:
Create an NA aeshetic
Override the guide aesthetics
Set the
na.value
for the fill aesthetic

In this video I talk about viridis being the single best choice for a continuous color palette. This is because the color palette works well for folks with colorblindness and is perceptually uniform - which means it's easy to know if you're looking at a low or high value on the scale.
