El Salvador prison/homicide extremes align with global demographic highs (~2023-07-01)

Within the same ~14-day window: El Salvador's homicide rate sat at 7.90 (2.1σ below its recent average of 69.14), while its prison population rate hit 1659/100k (7.8σ above average of 375.73). Concurrently, world life expectancy reached a new high (73.17 yrs), world population hit 8.09B, and global fertility fell to a new low (2.25). Maternal mortality lows registered across income groups (World: 197, Low income: 346, High income: 10). Brazil's incarceration rate also hit a new high (416/100k), and South Korea/US productivity and labor metrics showed notable deviations. No sequencing data here establishes which series moved first. This is a list of concurrent statistical extremes, not a demonstrated relationship — are any of these worth examining together, or is this simply many series updating in the same reporting cycle?
