Corrections Data
Question: After reviewing the information this week, tell us how big the current U.S. incarceration totals are (i.e. how many people do we incarcerate? And in what types of facilities? And for what types of crimes?). Additionally, dig into WHO we incarcerate based upon both race AND gender. Our gender data is generally somewhat surprising. In addition, make sure to watch the video about female incarceration that goes over the “pseudo families” in female prisons.Review Links:https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p19.pdfhttps://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.htmlhttps://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2019women.htmlhttps://www.sentencingproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Trends-in-US-Corrections.pdhttps://www.cdcr.ca.gov/rehabilitation/programs/
