Notes and Assumptions

Rhode Island Department of Corrections 2007 Analysis

General Notes

Address and child data was self‐reported by the incarcerated offender. The analysis focused on people, not releases/commitments, thus if a person was released/committed twice in 2007, they were counted as 1 person, not 2 releases/commitments.

2007 Sentenced Release Data

This data set included all incarcerated sentenced offenders who were released during the 2007 calendar year. There were 384 multiple sentenced releases in calendar year 2007. This analysis only included people claiming to have a Rhode Island address (3,797), 92% of all 2007 sentenced releases. There were 5 people who claimed to be from Rhode Island, but did not include an address to be geocoded. All Providence addresses were geocoded, with a match rate of 93%.

2007 Sentenced Commitment Data

This data set included all people who were sentenced to incarceration during the 2007 calendar year. There were 455 multiple sentenced commitments in calendar year 2007. This analysis only included people claiming Rhode Island addresses (3,602), 90% of all 2007 sentenced commitments. There was 1 person that claimed to be from Rhode Island, but did not include an address to be geocoded. All Providence addresses were geocoded, with a match rate of 92%. All life sentences were originally coded as ‘9999999’ and were recoded to 30 years (10,957 days). In calculating the cost of incarceration, a weighted daily average was used; one for males, and one for females. Time‐served was assumed to be two‐thirds of the total sentence as this is the typical amount of time an offenders serves prior to release. As mentioned above, this report focused on people, therefore, if a person was sentenced more than once during 2007, all sentences were including when calculating the cost of incarceration, however they were only counted once, as one person. Thus, cost was calculated as two‐thirds of their total sentence length, multiplied by the appropriate daily rate. The costs excluded administrative and capital costs. For those sentenced commitments that could not be goecoded to a city (neighborhood), their incarceration costs were matched proportionally to each city (neighborhood) based on the incarceration cost each city (neighborhood) already had. 2007 Awaiting Trial Release Data

This data set included all incarcerated awaiting trial offenders who were released during the 2007 calendar year. There were 3,123 multiple awaiting trial releases in calendar year 2007.

This analysis only included people claiming to have a Rhode Island address (8,840), 87% of all 2007 awaiting trial releases. There were 7 people who claimed to be from Rhode Island, but did not include an address to be geocoded. All Providence addresses were geocoded, with a match rate of 94%. In calculating the cost of incarceration, a weighted daily average was used; one for males, and one for females. As mentioned above, this report focused on people, therefore, if a person was awaiting trial multiple times during 2007, all length of stays were including when calculating the cost of incarceration, however they were only counted once, as one person. Thus, cost was calculated as their total length of stay multiplied by the appropriate daily rate. The costs excluded administrative and capital costs. For those awaiting trial commitments that could not be goecoded to a city (neighborhood), their incarceration costs were matched proportionally to each city (neighborhood) based on the incarceration costs each city (neighborhood) already had.
