Abstract
The original report presents findings on the time served by prisoners released from state prison in 2018, describing the mean and median length of time served by most serious offense and the percentage of sentence served by offense before initial release from state prison. These supplemental tables add data on kidnapping, extortion, and arson to some of the tables from the original report. All findings are based on data from the BJS’s National Corrections Reporting Program, which is an annual voluntary data collection of administrative records on individual prisoners submitted by state departments of corrections.
