To accomplish this goal, data were gathered from official state prison records on topics such as race, sex, and age of inmates, length of time in jail, length of time in prison, and type of offense committed. The data were collected from the state prison systems of 36 states, as well as the Federal Prison System, the California Youth Authority, and the District of Columbia.
