(Redirected from List of U.S. states by incarceration rate)
This article has lists of US states and US territories by incarceration and correctional supervision rates. There are also counts of inmates for various categories. The data is from the United States Department of Justice and other sources. The incarceration numbers include sentenced and unsentenced inmates from many categories.
Incarceration rates and totals; numbers in state, federal, and local institutions
This table and the one that directly follows it are a comprehensive breakdown of inmates across many categories. The incarceration rate for a state or U.S. territory is calculated from the total of inmates across that location row in both tables. Nationwide totals for each column are at the end of each table.[1] Some U.S. territories are in alphabetical order in the 2 table halves: American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Comparison with other countries
File:World prison population 2008.svg
On January 1, 2008 more than 1 in 100 adults in the United States were in prison or jail.[7][8] Total U.S. incarceration peaked in 2008.[5] The U.S. incarceration rate was the highest in the world in 2008.[4] It is no longer the highest rate.[9] The United States has one of the highest rates of female incarceration.[10] According to a November 2017 report by the World Prison Brief around 212,000 of the 714,000 female prisoners worldwide (women and girls) are incarcerated in the United States.[11] In the United States in 2016, women made up 9.8% of the incarcerated population in adult prisons and jails.[12][13] Comparing English-speaking developed countries;[9] the overall incarceration rate in the U.S. was 531 per 100,000 population of all ages in 2021,[12] the incarceration rate of Canada was 85 per 100,000 in 2020,[14] England and Wales was 146 per 100,000 in 2023,[15] and Australia was 158 per 100,000 in 2022.[16] Comparing other developed countries, the rate of Spain was 122 per 100,000 in 2020,[17] France was 90 per 100,000 in 2020,[18] Germany was 69 per 100,000 in 2020,[19] Norway was 49 per 100,000 in 2020,[20] Netherlands was 63 per 100,000 in 2018,[21] and Japan was 38 per 100,000 in 2019.[22] The racial aspect of mass incarceration in the United States is striking. According to Michelle Alexander (in 2010 book), the United States "imprisons a larger percentage of its black population than South Africa did at the height of apartheid."[23]
