Report: Prisoners in 2004
The US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics has released a bulletin entitled Prisoners in 2004. It was released in October 2005.
The 14-page bulletin provides state-by-state statistical information about prisoners incarcerated in federal and state prisons.
At 11.1% growth, Idaho ranked second (just below Minnesota at 11.4%) for the largest growth of state prison population during the period 12/31/03 to 12/31/04. This helps explain why Idaho is now lodging approximately 300 of its state prisoners in other states.
In addition to prison capacities, the bulletin discusses the ethnic distribution of prisoners and the crimes resulting in incarceration.
