BJS published Prisons Report Series: Preliminary Data Release and Jails Report Series: Preliminary Data Release through a new, interactive web product. These online releases provide preliminary 2022 statistics on key items from BJS’s annual prison and jail data collections.
The prison statistics include all prisoners under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities and those sentenced to more than 1 year under the same authorities from 2012 to 2022.
The jail statistics include the number of inmates held in local jails, by inmate demographics and conviction status; the number of admissions to jail; and jail incarceration rates during that same time period.
The preliminary data are available online, and interactive features allow users to view, sort, and filter prison and jail statistics from 2012 to 2022. BJS plans to update the releases yearly. Final statistics for 2022 will be published in the Prisoners in 2022 – Statistical Tables and Jail Inmates in 2022 – Statistical Tables reports (forthcoming).
