I have downloaded zip files on annual prison data from Bureau of
Justice
Statistics,
extracted, and saved csv files on imprison rates and sentenced prisoners
by state in data directory.
I have also downloaded some Excel, csv, text files on state resident
population from Census
Bureau,
and saved them in data directory.
From files in data directory, I have made 6 csv files:
-
imprison_rate.csv: Number of sentenced prisoners per 100,000 residents by state and year from 2007 to 2021,
-
prisoners.csv: Number of prisoners by state and year from 1997 to 2021,
-
sentenced_prisoners.csv: Number of (more than one year) sentenced prisoners by state and year from 1997 to 2021,
-
admissions.csv: Number of admitted sentenced prisoners by state and year from 2006 to 2021,
-
releases.csv: Number of released sentenced prisoners by state and year from 2006 to 2021,
-
custody.csv: Number of inmates held in custody of facilities operated by the state from 2007 to 2021 (note: lacks 2012 data, and includes some NAs), and
-
population.csv: Resident population by state and year from 1997 to 2021.
