QUICK FACTS ABOUT FEDERAL PRISON INMATES

Did you know that in 1970 about 17% of Federal prisoners were in prison due to a drug-related offense, and that peaked in the 1990s to about 60% of prisoners, and is around 55% now? This means that the majority of prisoners are in prison due to drug-related offenses. Unfortunately, this dramatic increase in drug-related convictions does not seem to have resulted in a decrease in use that reflects this high incarceration rate (most reports show a much higher decrease in the use of alcohol than in illegal drugs).

Some more interesting facts about Federal prison inmates:

More than 93% of inmates are male
More than 56% of inmates are white, about 40% are black
Almost 17% of inmates are Mexican citizens
The average age is 38
The largest percentage of prisoners is serving a 5-10-year sentence
Drug offenses make up most of the convictions (around 55%), with weapons charges, which includes explosives and arson, at around 12% of convictions. Immigration violations come up 3rd, with around 11% of prisoners being convicted of this type of offense.
