Methodology

National Prisoner Statistics

Begun in 1926 under a mandate from Congress, the NationalPrisoner Statistics (NPS) program collects statistics on prison-ers at midyear and yearend. The Census Bureau serves as thedata collection agent for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).BJS depends entirely on voluntary participation by states'departments of corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisonsfor NPS data.

The NPS distinguishes between inmates in custody and prison-ers under jurisdiction. To have custody of an inmate, a state orthe Federal Bureau of Prisons must hold that inmate in one ofits facilities. To have jurisdiction over a prisoner, a state or theFederal Bureau of Prisons must have legal authority over theprisoner. Some states are unable to provide counts that distin-guish between custody and jurisdiction.

The NPS jurisdiction counts include prisoners serving a sen-tence within a jurisdiction's facilities including prisons, peni-tentiaries, correctional facilities, halfway houses, boot camps,farms, training or treatment centers, and hospitals. Theyinclude prisoners who are—

• temporarily absent (less than 30 days), out to court, or on work release

• housed in privately operated facilities, local jails, other state or federal facilities

• serving concurrent sentences for more than one correctional authority.

The NPS custody counts include all inmates held within arespondent's facilities including inmates housed for other cor-rectional facilities. The custody counts exclude inmates held inlocal jails and in other jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, theNPS custody counts include inmates held in private facilities.

Additionally, NPS data include counts of inmates in combinedjail-prison systems in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii,Rhode Island, and Vermont.

States and the Federal Bureau of Prisons have the ability toupdate data submitted the previous year. This report providesupdates for midyear and yearend 2008 counts.

Nevada was not able to provide 2007 data. Estimates were cal-culated using ratio estimates. All numbers were reviewed andapproved by the Nevada Department of Corrections.

The District of Columbia (D.C.) became a jail-only jurisdictionby yearend 2001, when the Federal Bureau of Prisons assumedresponsibility for housing all sentenced felons from D.C.Selected previously published prisoner counts and percent pop-ulation change statistics include D.C. jail inmates for 2001, thelast year of collection. See notes in tables for additional infor-mation.

Other inmate counts

Data on the number of inmates held in the custody of local jailsare from the BJS Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ). The ASJ providesdata on inmates in custody at midyear. For more informationabout the ASJ, see Methodology in Jail Inmates at Midyear 2009—Statistical Tables, BJS Web, 3 June 2010.

Federal prisoner data used to calculate race distributions areobtained from BJS's Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP).The FJSP obtains data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.These data include individual-level records of prisoners in fed-eral facilities as of September 30. Specifically, the FJSP providescounts of sentenced federal inmates by sex, race, and Hispanicorigin.

Estimating age-specific incarceration rates

Estimates are provided for the number of inmates in the cus-tody of state and federal prisons and in local jails, by sex. Fur-ther, within sex prisoners are characterized by age, race (non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black), and Hispanic origin.The detailed race and Hispanic origin categories exclude esti-mates of persons identifying two or more races.

For 2000 and 2008, estimates were produced separately forinmates held in the custody of state and federal prisons and inlocal jails. These estimates were then combined to obtain a totalestimated population. State estimates were prepared by com-bining information about the sex of prisoners from the NPSwith information on self-reported race and Hispanic originfrom the 2004 Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities.

For the estimates of federal prisoners, the distributions of FJSPcounts of sentenced federal prisoners by sex, age, race, and His-panic origin on September 30, 2008 were applied to the NPScounts of sentenced federal prisoners, by sex, at midyear 2009.

Estimates of the U.S. resident population for July 1, 2009, byage, sex, race, and Hispanic origin, were generated by applyingthe June 30, 2008 age distributions within sex, race, and His-panic origin groups to the July 1, 2009 population estimates bysex. The population estimates were provided by the U.S. CensusBureau.

Age-specific rates of incarceration for each demographic groupwere calculated by dividing the estimated number of inmates incustody within each age group by the estimated number of U.S.residents in each age group. That number was multiplied by100,000, and then rounded to the nearest whole number. Sextotals include all inmates and U.S. residents regardless of race orHispanic origin. Incarceration rates for detailed race and His-panic origin groups exclude persons identifying two or moreraces.


DefinitionsAverage annual change—the arithmetic average (mean) annualchange across a specific time period.

Custody—the number of inmates held in state or federal pris-ons or local jails, regardless of sentence length or the authorityhaving jurisdiction.

Imprisonment rate—the number of prisoners under state orfederal jurisdiction sentenced to more than 1 year, per 100,000U.S. residents.

Inmates—individuals held in custody in state or federal prisonsor in local jails.

Jail—confinement facilities usually administered by a local lawenforcement agency, intended for adults but sometimes holdingjuveniles, before or after adjudication. Facilities include jails andcity/county correctional centers, special jail facilities such asmedical treatment or release centers, halfway houses, workfarms, and temporary holding or lockup facilities that are part ofthe jail’s combined function. Inmates sentenced to jail facilitiesusually have a sentence of 1 year or less.

Jurisdiction—the number of prisoners under the legal authorityof state or federal correctional officials regardless where theprisoner is held.

Prisons—compared to jail facilities, prisons are longer-termfacilities run by a state or the federal government and typicallyholding prisoners with sentences of more than 1 year. However,sentence length may vary by state. Connecticut, Rhode Island,Vermont, Delaware, Alaska, and Hawaii—operate integratedsystems which combine prisons and jails.

Prisoners—individuals under the legal authority (jurisdiction)of state and federal correctional officials.

Sentenced prisoner—a prisoner sentenced to more than 1 year.

Total incarceration rate—the number of inmates held in thecustody of state or federal prisons or in local jails, per 100,000U.S. residents.

Total inmates in custody—includes inmates held in any publicfacility run by a state or the Federal Bureau of Prisons, includinghalfway houses, camps, farms, training/treatment centers, andhospitals. This number also includes the number of inmatesheld in local jails as reported by correctional authorities in theAnnual Survey of Jails. Data for jails reflect populations on thelast working day of June.


NPS jurisdiction notesAlaska—Prisons and jails form one integrated system. All NPSdata include jail and prison populations housed within the stateand outside of the state. Jurisdictional counts exclude inmatesheld in local jails that are operated by communities.

Arizona—Population counts are based on custody data andinmates in contracted beds.

Arkansas—Jurisdiction counts for 2009 include offenders serv-ing concurrent sentences in other states and those out on bond.

California—Jurisdiction counts include felons and unsentencedinmates who are temporarily absent, i.e., housed in local jails,hospitals, etc. This definition is comparable to the 1998 NPS 1bdefinition. Custody counts include inmates housed in contractfacilities outside the state.

Connecticut—Prisons and jails form one integrated system. AllNPS data include jail and prison populations.

Colorado—Counts include 207 male and 10 female inmates inthe Youthful Offender System, which was established primarilyfor violent juvenile offenders.

Delaware—Prisons and jails form one integrated system. AllNPS data include jail and prison populations.

Federal—Custody counts include inmates housed in securefacilities where the Bureau of Prisons contracted directly with aprivate operator or subcontracted with a private provider at alocal government facility. Custody includes inmates held in non-secure privately-operated community corrections centers (e.g.,halfway houses) and in home confinement.

Florida—The 2009 custody count includes all inmates out tocourt. These inmates were previously counted in other statefacilities.

Illinois—Population counts are based on jurisdiction data.Counts of inmates with a sentence of more than 1 year includean undetermined number of inmates with a sentence of lessthan 1 year.

Iowa—Population counts are based on custody data. Populationcounts for inmates with a sentence of more than 1 year includean undetermined number of inmates with a sentence of lessthan 1 year and unsentenced inmates. Iowa does not differenti-ate among these groups in its data system.

Kansas—Population counts for inmates with a sentence of morethan 1 year include a small undetermined number of inmateswith sentences of less than 1 year.

Louisiana—Counts for 2007 are as of December 27, 2007.

Maryland—The exclusive use of an automated data system mayhave rendered counts for 2009 not comparable to previous years’counts.

Massachusetts—By law, offenders may be sentenced to terms ofup to 2 years and 6 months in locally-operated jails and correc-tional institutions. Such populations are included in counts andrates for local jails and correctional institutions. Inmates withsentences of more than 1 year (4,012) were held in local jails.Jurisdiction and custody counts include an undetermined num-ber of inmates who were remanded to court, transferred to thecustody of another state, federal, or locally-operated system, andsubsequently released.
