No complete data is as yet compiled and therefore unavailable. However, with the information I do have it is possible to extrapolate some data.
As of 06/30/2005 the total number of prisoners in the USA (federal,state/local): 2,186,000
488 inmates for every 100,000 US citizens
Fastest growing segment being sent to prison/jail:
- Black women
- Imprisionment rate of women vs. men: 3.4x
US Population Demographics:
RACE PERCENT % INCARCERATED
- white 70 35
- black 12 44
- Hispanic 12 18
- other 6 3
TOTAL 100 100
I hope this provides you with some of the information you are interested.
