Comparison with other countries

The US incarceration rate peaked in 2008. The US rate was the highest in the world in 2008. Chart is for prisoners per 100,000 population of all ages.[3][1]

According to the World Prison Brief the United States currently has the largest prison population in the world, and the highest incarceration rate.[4][5][6][7]

On January 1, 2008 more than 1 in 100 adults in the United States were in prison or jail.[8][9] Total US incarceration peaked in 2008.[1]

In addition to the overall highest incarceration rate, the United States also has the highest rate of female incarceration. 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.[10] In the United States in 2015, women made up 10.4% of the incarcerated population in adult prisons and jails.[11] In most countries, the proportion of female inmates to the larger prison population is closer to one in twenty. Australia is the exception where the rate of female imprisonment increased from 9.2 percent in 1991 to 15.3 percent in 1999.[12]

Comparing other English-speaking developed countries,[4] whereas the incarceration rate in the US is 660 per 100,000 population of all ages (as of 2016 table above),[1] the incarceration rate of Canada is 114 per 100,000 (as of 2015),[13] England and Wales is 146 per 100,000 (as of 2016),[14] and Australia is 160 per 100,000 (as of 2016).[15] Comparing other developed countries, the rate of Spain is 133 per 100,000 (as of 2016),[16] France is 110 per 100,000 (as of 2016),[17] Germany is 76 per 100,000 (as of 2016),[18] Norway is 73 per 100,000 (as of 2016),[19] Netherlands is 69 per 100,000 (as of 2014),[20] and Japan is 48 per 100,000 (as of 2014).[21]

In addition, the United States has striking statistics when observing the racial dimension of mass incarceration. According to Michelle Alexander, the United States "imprisons a larger percentage of its black population than South Africa did at the height of apartheid."[22]

Correctional supervision rates by state

Chart below has numbers for people in adult facilities, and for people on probation and on parole.[1] The incarceration numbers in the main part of the chart below are for sentenced and unsentenced inmates in adult facilities in local jails and state prisons, but not for people in federal prisons.

The bottom of the chart has totals and average rates for each column.

Federal prison numbers are added at the end of the chart. So the total number (local, state, and federal) under adult correctional supervision is 6,582,100. That is a correctional supervision rate of 2,630 per 100,000 adult US residents. That rounds off to 2.6% of adult US residents.
