Buehler, PhD, and Rich Kluckow, DSW ) BJS Statisticians t yearend 2022, an estimated 5,407,300 persons were under the supervision of adult correctional systems in the United States, a decline of less than 1% (down 38,400 persons) from yearend 2021.1 The adult correctional system includes persons incarcerated in prisons and jails and persons supervised in the community on probation and parole. About 1 in 48 adult U.S. residents (2.1%) was under some form of correctional supervision at the end of 2022. The rate of persons under community supervision in 2022 (1,400 per 100,000 adult U.S. residents) continued a decline from its peak in 2007 (2,240 per 100,000) (figure 1). In 2022, the incarceration rate (700 per 100,000 adult U.S. residents, up from 680 per 100,000 in 2021) increased for the second consecutive year, but it remained below the prepandemic rate (810 per 100,000 in 2019). 1The total correctional, community supervision, and incarcerated populations exclude persons with dual correctional statuses to avoid double counting. See table 10 and Methodology. Highlights * The rate of persons under supervision of adult correctional systems was 2,060 per 100,000 adult U.S. residents at yearend 2022, the fifteenth year of decline since the high of 3,210 per 100,000 under supervision in 2007. * At yearend 2022, more than two-thirds of persons under correctional supervision were supervised in the community on probation or parole (3,668,800), while almost one-third (1,827,600) were incarcerated in state or federal prisons or local jails.

Rates may differ from previously published statistics due to updated reporting. Rates include a small number of persons age 17 or younger who were under adult correctional supervision and exclude persons with dual correctional statuses.
