With over 1.9 million people locked up in more than 6,000 correctional facilities operated by thousands of agencies, getting the big picture is anything but easy. In the tenth anniversary edition of Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie, we break down how many people are locked up in the U.S., where, and why — highlighting causes of incarceration that get too little attention as well as 10 incarceration "myths" that receive too much.
Be sure to check out our other Whole Pie reports that focus specifically on the incarceration of women and the incarceration of young people.
Learn about the national prison crisis and how we can begin to turn the tide on mass incarceration. Then, drill down to your state. Be sure to also check out our pages focused on D.C., and the incarceration of Native people.
If our work is new to you, you might want to check out our 2022-2023 annual report.
