As in previous years, the report is based on data obtained through an on-line computerized offender information system. Information is collected systematically during the entire period offenders are in the custody or control of the Secretary of Corrections. The number of offenders for whom information is available varies across data items reported. Percentages reported are based upon the number of individuals for whom data are available, and not necessarily upon the total population. The report begins with Section I by graphically summarizing recent trends and focuses on population levels, commitment trends, and offender characteristics.
Subsequent sections present more specific topics in greater detail.
Section II compares inmate population and housing capacity levels and Section III describes admissions to and releases from KDOC custody. Each section begins with a summary presentation and is followed by statistical tables and graphs. The report focuses on comparing current information with prior years wherever possible. This replaces controlling minimum offense. To view the Statistical Profile, you will need Adobe Reader .
