Abstract:
The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only national data collection furnishing annual individual-level information for State prisoners admitted or released during the year, those in custody at year-end, and persons discharged from parole supervision. The NCRP collects data on sentencing, time served in prison and on parole, offense, admission/release type and demographic information. BJS, the Congress, researchers and criminal justice practitioners use these data to describe annual movements of adult offenders through State correctional system. Providers of the data are personnel in State Departments of Corrections.
