From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See: List of countries by incarceration rate. This page below also includes 2013 state incarceration rates for U.S. states. The rate for federal prisons (68 per 100,000 population) has not been added into the state incarceration rate (state prisons and local jails). There were 215,100 federal prisoners in 2013, when the US population was at 316,497,531.[1][2] Country data is from the World Prison Brief as of Sep 29, 2015. See individual country pages there for year. The country rates are the latest available (usually within the last couple years). See the references below for more info.

Notes

[edit]

China

[edit]

China. The above table has 2 rates. The lower rate is for sentenced prisoners in 2014 in Ministry of Justice prisons only. The higher rate includes the 2009 estimated number of prisoners held in detention centres.[3][4] See also: Re-education through labor and Laogai.

North Korea

[edit]

North Korea. Little information exists regarding North Korea's incarceration rate. The U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea estimates 150,000 to 200,000 incarcerated based on testimony of defectors from the state police bureau, which roughly equals 600-800 people incarcerated per 100,000.[5] For more info see Prisons in North Korea.

United Kingdom

[edit]

United Kingdom. Main chart source only provides rates for the constituent parts of the UK.[3] In the above chart see Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

United States

[edit]
Juvenile detention totals from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.[6]

United States. Incarceration rate (per 100,000 population of all ages) is for inmates held in adult facilities.[7] In addition, there were 54,148 juveniles in juvenile detention in 2013.[6] For more juvenile detention info and numbers see Youth incarceration in the United States.

See notes at the bottom of a U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) source table: "Total includes all inmates held in local jails, state or federal prisons, or privately operated facilities. It does not include inmates held in U.S. Territories (appendix table 3), military facilities (appendix table 3), in U.S. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE], in jails in Indian country (appendix table 3), or in juvenile facilities."[1]

BJS has numbers for U.S. Territories, military facilities, ICE, and for jails in Indian country.[8][9][10][11]
