The combined state and federal imprisonment rate for 2019 (419 per 100,000 U.S. residents), based on sentenced prisoners (those sentenced to more than on year), decreased 3% from 2018 (432 per 100,000 U.S. residents).” “This was the lowest imprisonment rate in 24 years, dating back to 1995.” And “Since 2009, the imprisonment rate-the portion of U.S. residents who are in prison has dropped 17% overall…”
“IN 2019, THE IMPRISONMENT RATE OF BLACK RESIDENTS WAS THE LOWEST RATE IN 30 YEARS, SINCE 1989.”
The majority of this data is not influenced by the recent First Step Act (signed by Trump) which will benefit more and more prisoners seeking clemency and relief.
