The number of people serving prison or jail sentences in the US dropped 10 percent over the decade ending in 2017, the Department of Justice said Thursday. (1/4)
Department of Justice statistics also showed that "noncitizens made up roughly the same portion of the U.S. prison population, 7.6 percent, as of the total U.S. population."
After decades of increases, the latest figures show that the incarceration rate — the number of prisoners compared to the U.S. population — is at the lowest level in 20 years, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Criminologist James Alan Fox of Northeastern University said the main reason for the drop in inmate populations is the falling crime rate. He noted that during the decade that ended in 2017, violent crime was down 19 percent.
