pie chart showing that most native people under correctional control are on probation or parole

Data Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics' Prisoners in 2023, Jail Inmates in 2024, Jails in Indian Country, 2024, Probation and Parole in the United States, 2024, and the OJJDP’s Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement, 2023. Data notes: There may be some double counting between the prison and local jail populations, as an unknown portion of Native people in local jails are held there for state or federal correctional agencies.
