About the Data
Incarceration rates represent prisoners per 100,000 residents of each racial/ethnic group. Several states do not count Hispanic prisoners separately. For details on adjustments made in such cases, see our methodology page. Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics, Criminal Justice Institute, US Census Bureau
