In 1983, the National Prisoners Statistics program, which compiled data on prisoner admissions and releases, and the Uniform Parole Reports were combined into one reporting system, the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP). The NCRP evolved from the need to improve and consolidate data on corrections at the national level.

In addition to the state prisons, the Federal Prison System and the California Youth Authority also began reporting data in 1984.

NACJD has prepared a resource guide for the NCRP Series.
