7,073,982 = your 3.1% x 228.182,000 the number of adults in the US as of 2008. Meaning 7 million people, according to you, went to prison in 2008... quote:
The FBI estimated that 14,005,615 arrests occurred in 2008 for all offenses (except traffic violations). Of these arrests, 594,911 were for violent crimes and 1,687,345 were for property crimes. your own source listed ... Estimated number of adults under correctional supervision and annual percent change in correctional population, 1980-2009 2008 shows just a little over 7 million that year under that supervision. IF your numbers are right.. and 3.1% of the population are added, then where did the people from 2007 go? I mean, they were under correctional supervison the year before... and over 7 million of them. Did they all get released and go home to commit another crime and go back to being under correctional supervision? Do you see how preposterous your numbers are? 2007, over 7 million under some sort of supervision total. 2008, over 7 million under some sort of supervision total. You dont have to go far to check. http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/cpus09.pdf Its right there, the picture on the first page.
