Abstract
The report offers an analysis of the State of Washington’s Department of Corrections’ inmate population by institution and pre-release and work release programs. The report is broken down into six statistical groupings: populations of adult institutions and programs; characteristics of resident inmates; admissions to prison; releases from prison; custody distribution of resident inmates; and risk level categories of resident inmates. Populations of facilities and programs looks at the average daily population by rated capacity by month, female average daily population by rated capacity by month, and average daily population per month by facility. Characteristics of inmates provides data on distribution of location by race and Hispanic origin, offense, violent crime convictions, age, sentencing authority, race and Hispanic origin for females, and county of conviction and offense by race and Hispanic origin. Admissions to prison provides data on admission and release comparisons, admissions by month, type, and sex; admission type and county of convictions; age at admission, race, and Hispanic origin, and sex; admissions by county of conviction, race, and Hispanic origin; and admissions by offense and type of admission. Releases from prison provides data on releases by month and type, and length of stay. Custody distributions looks at current custody and initial custody data. Risk level categories of inmates provides data on distribution of location by risk level, and risk level by race and sex. Glossary and abbreviations
