prison statsThe total size of incarcerated population in United States in 2016 reached 21,62,400. This was a slight decrease from 21,72,800 in 2015.  The decrease was mainly due to a decline in the prison population (state & federal). The jail population (local jails) remained relatively stable. From 2007 to 2016, the incarcerated population of United States has declined at an average rate of 0.7%.  From Jan 01, 2016 to December 31,2016, the total incarcerated population saw a decline of 0.5%. The total incarcerated population in 2004 was 21,36,600. Since then, the incarcerated population has been the lowest in 2016.
