BJS Releases Time Served in State Prison, 2018 — Supplemental Tables
The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, today released Time Served in State Prison, 2018 — Supplemental Tables. The tables supplement BJS’s report, Time Served in State Prison, 2018 (NCJ 255662), published in March 2021.
The original report presented findings on the time served by individuals 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 original report tables. All findings are based on data from BJS’s National Corrections Reporting Program, which is an annual voluntary data collection of administrative records on individuals submitted by state departments of corrections.
