Offender reentry : Correctional statistics , Reintegration into the Community, and Recidivism Nathan James Analyst in Crime Policy January 12, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 RL34287 Offender reentry : Correctional statistics , Reintegration into the Community Congressional Research Service Summary The number of people incarcerated in the United States grew steadily for nearly 30 years. That number has been slowly decreasing since 2008, but as of 2012 there were still over 2 million people incarcerated in prisons and jails across the country. The Bureau of Justice statistics (BJS) reports that since 1990 an average of 590,400 inmates have been released annually from state and federal prisons and almost 5 million ex-offenders are under some form of community-based supervision.
The jail population counts were taken from U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Jail Inmates and Midyear 2013—Statistical Tables. Given the fact that 95% of all inmates will eventually return to the community,9 the prison population has a direct impact on offender reentry.
