12 million admissions/releases from jail each year
9 million unique individuals
766,010 in jail on any given day
81 percent of inmates stay less than 1 month
62 percent of inmates have not been convicted of a
crime (for the current incarceration)
Per Major Program or Department
According to recent estimates, nearly 650,000 people
were released from prison in 2004, while over 12
million different individuals were released from jails
across the US.
National Numbers
Virtually every person incarcerated in a jail in this
country—and approximately 97 percent of those
incarcerated in prisons—will eventually be released.
A Revolving Door
Each year, U.S. jails process an estimated 12 million
admissions and releases. That translates into 34,000
people released from jails each day and 230,000
released each week.
A Revolving Door
In three weeks, jails have contact
with as many people as prisons do
in an entire year.
In the United States, there are
3,365
independently operated jails
Approximately two out of every three people
released from prison in the US are re-arrested within
three years of their release.
Three-quarters of those returning home have a
history of substance abuse; two thirds have no high
school diploma.

as they meet all of the Day Reporting Center selection
criteria.
The DRC includes monitoring, treatment, employment and daily
contact. Participants must submit written itineraries on a daily and
weekly basis. They must pay their own fees on a weekly basis.

GPS Offender Tracking

GPS offenders are monitored by an ankle bracelet equipped with a state
of the art global positioning satellite (GPS) monitor. Offenders are
assigned a caseworker that assists the offender in developing a weekly
schedule. The offender is held accountable to follow the mandated
schedule, as well as other conditions of release as stipulated by the court
or LPSO’s GPS Offender program’s caseworker. Inability to abide by
program requirements results in termination from the program.
