Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2025

pie chart report 2023 thumbnail With nearly 2 million people locked up in more than 6,000 correctional facilities operated by thousands of agencies, getting the big picture is anything but easy. In the tenth anniversary edition of Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie, we break down how many people are locked up in the U.S., where, and why, provide an update on the latest trends, and highlight causes of incarceration that get too little attention as well as 10 incarceration "myths" that receive too much.

Be sure to check out our other Whole Pie reports that focus specifically on the incarceration of women and the incarceration of young people.
