Your paper assignment is worth 3 test grades and is due July 2nd. It’s not really hard, but there are 3 parts.

1. The first page you will write is a crime graph that you will create using the UCR data building tool, downloading into Excel, and then copying the graph into a Word document. Follow the instructions exactly. You need to write a paragraph describing the graph and hypothesizing about why the crime trend happened, so do not forget this part. This paragraph should be single spaced.

2. The second page is a summary of the “Truth in Sentencing” pdf attached to this assignment. This page is double spaced. ONLY SUMMARIZE THE FIRST TWO PAGES. The first page is full, so if you open it and there are huge blank spaces, open it with another pdf viewer. Make sure you summarize the differences between truth-in-sentencing, mandatory minimums, determinate and indeterminate sentences, etc.

3. Take one paragraph to summarize the basic logic of the Arkansas Sentencing Standards Grid. It’s the revised grid that is colored and on the third page. Look throughout the document to understand things like “offense seriousness ranking table”.

Intro to CJ Summer 2018 Writing Assignment

The FBI compiles data from local police and state agencies across the nation and compiles them in the

Uniform Crime Report. Your assignment is to compile some Index 1 crime data from 1960 to 2014 and

show the crime trends over time. This assignment will include a graph that is explained below. Once

graphed, you will write a paragraph or two examining the data and giving criminological analysis on

what explains the crime trends.

Here is the graph you are to make:

1. One state’s crime total over the time period. (e.g. murder, legacy rape, robbery, burglary, etc.)

Do not use rates!

Considerations:

1. Google: “UCR data building tool” and click on the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Statistics Data

Tool link. Click on the “Go to table-building tool” at the bottom of the page. Select “All states

and U.S. total”. On the next page, select “State by state and national estimates”. Choose a state

and either violent or property crimes. Click on “Get table”.

2. Click on the “spreadsheet of this table” on the website once you’ve selected the data in order to

download into Excel.

3. The graph will have multiple crimes available. All you need is one crime, so select the year

column and the crime column you have chosen to build a graph (I use a scatter chart with lines)

and label the x and y axis, along with a chart title. After you have selected the data, simply go to

“insert” in excel and choose “scatter”, choosing the graph with a solid line. Sometimes using a

line graph in excel makes everything weird, so I use the scatter chart with lines.

4. Make certain to source the data at the bottom of the graphs.

5. Copy and paste the graph into a Word document first and explain the crime trends below it.

6. In your explanations, first describe the data, then give your explanations for what explains it.

When you describe the data, you write basically with words what you can plainly see from the

graph (i.e. “In 1993, rape began to sharply fall”, or “Alabama’s violent crime rate was higher

than

Arkansas

from 1980 to 1990, etc.)

7. Be sure to include an explanation of what a “rate” is and why you use it.

8. Make sure you include a secondary axis if your scales are very different.

9. This assignment is due Nov 30th.

See the next page for an example of what a graph should look like, except that your will only have one

state, and instead of violent crime totals your will have one crime type:

Effective Date – For Offenses committed January 1, 2018 and Thereafter

Arkansas Sentencing Standards Grid

POLICY STATEMENTS

Community Correction Centers

Only defendants who have been found guilty of a “target” offense are eligible to be sentenced to a Community Correction

Center. Sentences to a Community Correction Center should only be utilized for those who the Court would otherwise

sentence to the Department of Correction. The Sentencing Commission strongly encourages local courts to utilize the services

of the Community Correction Centers in lieu of penitentiary time in appropriate cases. Offenses designated as “target

offenses” are defined in A.C.A. § 16-93-1202(10)(A).

Please Note: Target offense designations are made to be helpful, but are ADVISORY ONLY. Please refer to A.C.A. §§ 16-

93-1201 et seq. for legal definitions.

Minimum Sentences

The Sentencing Commission recognizes that the presumptive sentences recommended in some cells of the grid may fall below

the minimum sentence to imprisonment for the classification of an offense (Pursuant to A.C.A. § 5 -4-104). A court may

sentence a defendant to a term of imprisonment and suspend imposition of sentence as to an additional term of imprisonment

up to or over the minimum sentence.

Felony DWI/BWI

For each level of DWI/BWI, if an offender is sentenced to the Arkansas Department of Correction, a minimum incarceration

sentence is required by statute. See A.C.A. § 5-65-111. Current law provides community service as the only alternative

sanction available for DWI/BWI. Since neither probation nor SIS is allowable, no departure reason is required. See A.C.A. §

5-4-104(e).

Offenses/offenders that are statutorily ineligible for CCC

If an offender is sentenced to the ADC from a grid cell that has CCC as a presumptive sentence, and the length of the ADC

sentence is within the statutory parameters for sentences to CCC, the sentence will NOT be considered a departure for purposes

of the Sentencing Guidelines. For example, a sentence of six (6) years in the ADC for battery in the Second Degree, SL 4, CHS

0 is not a departure.

DEFINITIONS

ADC – Commitment to the Arkansas Department of Correction.

CCC – Community Correction Center – multipurpose facilities encompassing security, punishment and services such that

offenders can be housed therein when necessary but can also be assigned to or access punishment programs and services which

are housed there, included therein are revocation centers, restitution centers, work release centers, and Community Correction

Centers.

AS – Alternative Sanctions – includes:

(1) Probation, both supervised and unsupervised;

(2) Suspended imposition of sentence;

(3) Work on service programs coupled with or without (1) or (2) above;

(4) Local jail time up to the maximum authorized by law as a condition of (1) or (2) above;

(5) Community Correction Programs as defined and provided by the Board of Corrections or by local courts as

conditions of (1) or (2) above.

BJS Statisticians

The amount of time offenders serve in
prison is almost always shorter than the
time they are sentenced to serve by the
court. Prisoners released in 1996
served on average 30 months in prison
and jail or 44% of their sentence. Many
States have recently enacted a truth-in-
sentencing law which requires offend-
ers to serve a substantial portion of
their sentence and reduces the discrep-
ancy between the sentence imposed
and actual time served in prison.

In the early 1970’s States followed an
indeterminate sentencing model in
which a parole board decided when an
offender would be released from
prison. Pressure for longer sentences
and uniform punishment led to manda-
tory minimums and sentencing guide-
lines in the 1980’s. However, prison
crowding, good-time sentence reduc-
tions for satisfactory prison behavior,
and earned-time resulted in the early
release of prisoners.

To assure that offenders serve a large
portion of their sentence, the U.S.
Congress authorized funding for
additional State prisons and jails
through the Violent Crime Control and
Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In 1998
incentive grants were awarded to 27
States and the District of Columbia that
met the eligibility criteria for the Truth-
in-Sentencing program. Another 13
States have adopted a truth-in-
sentencing law requiring certain offend-
ers to serve a specific percent of their
sentence.

Truth in Sentencing
in State Prisons

January 1999, NCJ 170032

ù Violent offenders released from
prison in 1996 were sentenced to
serve an average of 85 months in
prison. Prior to release they served
about half of their prison sentence
or 45 months.

ù Under truth-in-sentencing laws
requiring 85% of the sentence, violent
offenders would serve an average
of 88 months in prison based on the
average sentence for violent offenders
admitted to prison in 1996.

ù Nearly 7 in 10 State prison admis-
sions for a violent offense in 1997
were in States requiring offenders to
serve at least 85% of their sentence.

ù By 1998, 27 States and the District
of Columbia met the Federal Truth-in-
Sentencing Incentive Grant Program
eligibility criteria. Eleven States
adopted truth-in-sentencing laws in
1995, 1 year after the 1994 Crime Act.

ùù Indeterminate sentencing: Common in the early 1970’s, parole boards
have the authority to release offenders from prison.

ùù Determinate sentencing: States introduced fixed prison terms which could
be reduced by good-time or earned-time credits.

ùù Mandatory minimum sentences: States added statutes requiring offenders
to be sentenced to a specified amount of prison time.

ùù Sentencing guidelines: States established sentencing commissions and
created ranges of sentences for given offenses and offender characteristics.

ùùTruth in sentencing: First enacted in 1984, TIS laws require offenders
to serve a substantial portion of their prison sentence. Parole eligibility and
good-time credits are restricted or eliminated.

Three decades of sentencing reform && 1970’s through 1990’s

Data were com piled from multi ple
sources

The findings in this report are based
primarily on data from the Bureau of
Justice Statistics, National Corrections
Reporting Program (NCRP), and data
collected through the Violent Offender
Incarceration and Truth-in-Sentencing
(VOI/TIS) Incentive Grants program,
administered by the Office of Justice
Programs Corrections Program Office.

Since 1983 BJS has compiled the
NCRP data series that collects individ-
ual inmate records for prison admis-
sions and releases and parole
discharges. It is the only national level
data base with information on sentence
length, time to be served in prison,
actual time served by released prison-
ers, time served on parole, type of
parole discharge, and offense composi-
tion of inmates entering and exiting
prison and parole. The annual series
includes prison population movement
data and parole population data,
providing a comprehensive description
of offenders as they enter and exit
correctional custody and supervision.

During the 1990’s between 35 and 41
States have participated in NCRP.
In 1996, 37 States and the California
Youth Authority reported 469,650
admissions that represented 91% of all
admissions to State prisons, based on
data from the BJS National Prisoner
Statistics data collection. The releases
reported (427,627) represented 91% of
all releases from State prison in 1996.

All 50 States and the District of Colum-
bia reported data through the VOI/TIS
incentive grants program as part of the
data collection for determining grant
eligibility. The VOI/TIS data provide an
additional State-level indicator of time
served with a common definition of
violent offenses. For each year
between 1993 and 1997, States
reported the number of admissions and
releases for Part 1 violent offenses and
sentence length and time served by
released violent offenders. Part 1
violent crimes include murder/
nonnegligent manslaughter, rape,
robbery, and aggravated assault.

Sentencin g reforms parallel “ get
tou gh on crime” attitude

Sentencing reform policies have paral-
leled the mood of the country on crime
and punishment, shifting between
requiring a fixed prison time prior to
release or allowing discretionary
release of offenders by judges, parole
boards, or corrections officials. Over
the last two decades, sentencing
requirements and release policies have
become more restrictive, primarily in
response to widespread “get tough on
crime” attitudes in the Nation. (See
References on page 15 for sources
on sentencing reform.)

In the early 1970’s, States generally
permitted parole boards to determine
when an offender would be released
from prison. In addition, good-time
reductions for satisfactory prison
behavior, earned-time incentives for
participation in work or educational
programs, and other time reductions to
control prison crowding resulted in the
early release of prisoners. These
policies permitted officials to individual-
ize the amount of punishment or
leniency an offender received and
provided means to manage the prison
population.

Such discretion in sentencing and
release policies led to criticism that
some offenders were punished more
harshly than others for similar offenses
and to complaints that overall sentenc-
ing and release laws were too soft on
criminals. By the late 1970’s and early
1980’s, States began developing
sentencing guidelines, enacting
mandatory minimum sentences and
adopting other sentencing reforms to
reduce disparity in sentencing and to
toughen penalties for certain offenses,
specifically drug offenses (as part of
the “war on drugs”), offenses with
weapons, and offenses committed
by repeat or habitual criminals.1

Washin gton State enacted the first
truth-in-sentencin g law in 1984

States continued to increase the sever-
ity of sentencing laws (primarily for
violent offenders) by enacting restric-
tions on the possibility of early release,
which became known as truth in
sentencing. Truth-in-sentencing laws

require offenders to serve a substantial
portion of the prison sentence imposed
by the court before being eligible for
release. Previous policies which
reduced the amount of time an offender
served on a sentence, such as good-
time, earned-time and parole board
release, are restricted or eliminated
under truth-in-sentencing laws. The
definition of truth in sentencing varies
among the States, as do the percent of
sentence required to be served and the
crimes covered by the laws. Most
States have targeted violent offenders
under truth in sentencing.

A few States, such as Florida, Missis-
sippi, and Ohio, require all offenders to
serve a substantial portion of the sen-
tence before being eligible for release.
The percent of sentence required to be
served under truth in sentencing in
general spans from 50% to 100% of a
minimum sentence (table 1).

Most truth-in-sentencin g States
require offenders to serve 85%
of the prison sentence

In response to prison crowding and
public dismay with the early release of
prisoners, the U.S. Congress author-
ized incentive grants to build or expand
correctional facilities through the
Violent Offender Incarceration and
Truth-in-Sentencing Incentive Grants
Program in the 1994 Crime Act (Pub.L.
No. 103-322, 108 Stat. 1796 (1994)).
To qualify for the truth-in-sentencing
grants, States must require persons
convicted of a Part 1 violent crime to
serve not less than 85% of the prison
sentence. Along with other exceptions,
States may qualify by demonstrating
that the average time served in prison
is not less than 85% of the sentence.2

Twenty-seven States and the District of
Columbia qualified for the Federal grant
program in 1998 (table 1). Five States
(Delaware, Minnesota, Tennessee,
Utah and Washington) adopted truth in
sentencing prior to the 1994 Crime Act.
Arizona, California, Missouri, and North

Carolina enacted truth in sentencing in
1994, and 11 States enacted laws in
1995, 1 year after the Crime Act
(Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas,
Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New
York, North Dakota, Oregon, and
Virginia).

Several States have not adopted the
Federal 85% standard. Maryland and
Texas have a 50%-requirement for
violent offenders. Nebraska and
Indiana require all offenders to serve
50% of the sentence. Arkansas
requires certain offenders to serve
70%. Colorado requires violent offend-
ers with 2 prior violent convictions to
serve 75% and with 1 prior violent
conviction, 56%. Massachusetts
requires 75% of a minimum prison
sentence.

14 States have abolished parole

law was passed (Arizona, Delaware,
Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio, Virginia,
Washington, and Wisconsin). Parole
boards still have discretion over
inmates who were sentenced for
crimes committed prior to the effective
date of the law that eliminated parole
board release.

A few other States have abolished
parole board release for certain violent
or felony offenders (Alaska, New York,
Tennessee, and Virginia) or for certain
crimes against a person (Louisiana).
California allows discretionary release
by a parole board only for offenders
with indeterminate life sentences. In
general, States restrict the possibility
of parole board release based on the
offender’s criminal history or the
circumstances of the offense.

While discretionary release from prison
by a parole board has been eliminated
by some States, post-release supervi-
sion still exists and is generally referred
to as community or supervised release.
Parole boards, in various forms, have
the responsibility to set conditions of
release for offenders under conditional
or supervised release, the authority to
return an offender to prison for violating
the conditions of parole or supervised
release, and the power to grant parole
for medical reasons.

Between 1990 and 1997 the number
of offenders in State prison
increased 7% annually

expected to increase through the incar-
ceration of more offenders for longer
periods of time. One purpose of the
VOI/TIS incentive grants is to enable
States to manage prison capacity by
providing funds to increase prison beds
for violent offenders.

On average, between 1990 and 1997
the prison population grew by 7%
annually. State prison inmates totaled
1,100,850 in 1997, up from 689,577 in
1990 (table 2). Most of the growth
occurred among violent offenders who
accounted for 50% of the total increase
in State prison inmates. Drug offend-
ers comprised about 19% of the growth
and property offenders, 16%.

State prison admission rates
have dro pp ed

While the number of inmates held
in State prisons increased 60% since
1990, the number admitted to prison
increased about 17%. In 1997,
540,748 offenders were admitted to
State prison, up from 460,739 in 1990.
The number of admissions relative to
the number of inmates in prison
dropped from 73 per 100 State prison-
ers in 1990 to 52 per 100 in 1997.

During this period the source of admis-
sions to prison also changed. New
court commitments to State prison, or
offenders admitted to prison under a

new sentence, increased
slightly between 1990 and
1997 (from 323,069 to
334,630), while parole violators
represented an increased
portion of prison admissions.

The most recent data on ad-
missions by offense type (table
3) reveal that offenders incar-
cerated for violent offenses
increased, up from 86,600 in
1990 to 96,300 in 1996. New
court commitments for
property and drug offenders
decreased between 1990 and
1996.

4 Truth in Sentencing in State Prisons

Over a third of prison admissions
in 1997 were parole violators

The percent of prison admissions who
were returned for a parole violation
has steadily increased since 1985.
Parole violators accounted for 23%
of prison admissions in 1985, 29% in
1990, 34% in 1994, and by 1997, 35%
of admissions were parole violators.

Two-thirds of parole violators were
drug or property offenders. A third of
parole violators were drug offenders,
and 16% were burglary offenders.
Violent offenders accounted for 25% of
those returned to prison on a parole
revocation; nearly 11% were originally
sentenced to prison for robbery.

Table 4. Adult arrests and new court commitments to State prison
per 1,000 arrests , by offense , 1980, 1990, and 1996

The commitment rate for murder
rose from 460 per 1,000 arrests
in 1990 to 613 per 1,000 in 1996

In contrast to the increase in the
number of incarcerated violent offend-
ers and the slight increase in admis-
sions overall, arrests for the major
violent crimes (except for aggravated
assault) actually declined between
1990 and 1996. Arrests for murder

dropped 19%; rape, 18%; other sexual
assault, 13%; and robbery, 16%. There
was also a sharp decline of burglary
arrests (21%) (table 4).

At the same time, the commitment rate,
or the number of new court commit-
ments to State prison relative to the
number of arrests, increased for most
violent offenses between 1990 and
1996. The number of admissions to

State prison for murder per 1,000
arrests rose from 460 in 1990 to 613 in
1996, almost reaching the high of 621
admissions per 1,000 arrests in 1980.

The likelihood of going to prison upon
arrest for drug offenses substantially
increased between 1980 and 1990 as
the commitment rate soared from 19
per 1,000 arrests to 103 per 1,000. The
rate dropped to 77 commitments per

Truth in Sentencing in State Prisons 5

The im plementation of truth-in-
sentencin g laws

The phase-in of truth-in-sentencing
requirements, or the number of offend-
ers sentenced under the new law,
may vary considerably by State.
Differences in the effective date of the
law, court backlogs, case processing,
and the type of offenders covered
under the law (violent offenders versus
all offenders) may affect the number of
prison admissions sentenced under
truth in sentencing.

Monthly data on the percent of prison
admissions sentenced under truth-in-
sentencing laws in Nevada, Virginia,
and New York demonstrate the lag
between the effective date of truth-in-
sentencing and the subsequent admis-
sion of offenders to prison covered
under the new law.

At 12 months, 57% of New York’s
violent felon y prison admissions
were under truth in sentencin g

Under a truth-in-sentencing law which
became effective October 1, 1995,
New York requires repeat violent
felony offenders to serve at least 85%
of the sentence. The law requires first-
time violent felony offenders to serve
85% based on a presumptive sentence
set at 2/3 of the maximum.

By August 1998, 3 years after the
effective date, 94% of violent felony
offenders admitted to prison were
sentenced under the 1995 truth-in-
sentencing law. A more recent law,
effective September 1, 1998, requires
first-time violent felons to serve 85% of
a determinate sentence.

Effective for crimes
committed after
July 1, 1995,
Nevada’s truth-in-
sentencing law
requires all offend-
ers to serve 10

of the minimum
prison term prior to
becoming eligible
for parole release.
Offenders are
allowed to earn
good-time reduc-
tions off the
maximum prison
sentence, but not
the minimum.
Six months after
the effective date, 28% of offenders
admitted to Nevada’s prisons were
sentenced under the truth-in-
sentencing law. After 1 year

the number increased to 43%, and
after 2 years, 60%. After 3 years,
79% of prison admissions were
sentenced under truth in sentencing.

Five years after implementation,
or yearend 1999, Virginia estimates
100% of admissions will be sentenced
under truth in sentencing.

1,000 arrests in 1996. For property
offenders, the commitment rate also
increased between 1980 and 1990 and
remained relatively constant between
1990 and 1996.

Nearl y 7 in 10 violent offenders are
in a State that re quires 85% of the
sentence be served

Based on data reported through the
VOI/TIS program, State facilities
reported that 78,917 new court commit-
ments were admitted to prison for a
Part 1 violent offense in 1997. About
two-thirds (54,023) of those admissions
were in a truth-in-sentencing State
which met the Federal standard, requir-
ing violent offenders to serve at least
85% of their sentence prior to release.
Over 90% of Part 1 violent offenders
admitted to prison in 1997 were in a
State which had passed a law requiring
at least 50% of the sentence be served
prior to release.

Despite the large proportion of offend-
ers being admitted in States with truth-
in-sentencing laws, not all of these
offenders were sentenced under truth
in sentencing. Due to the time lag
between commission of the offense,

arrest, and conviction, some offenders
entering prison in 1997 committed the
offense prior to the effective date of
recently enacted truth-in-sentencing
laws. In 1997 an estimated 42% of all
Part 1 violent offenders admitted to
prison were actually sentenced under a
truth-in-sentencing law that met the
Federal standard requiring at least 85%
of the sentence be served in prison.

Offenders admitted to prison in 1996
for robbery were expected to serve
7 months longer than in 1990

Though recent sentencing reforms are
linked to increasing time served, the
average (or mean) sentence length
imposed on offenders entering prison
decreased, from 72 months in 1990 to
68 months in 1996 (table 5). Consis-
tent with sentencing policy change, the
projected minimum time expected to be
served by persons entering prison
increased slightly. If parole eligibility
requirements, good-time credits, and
early release policies are taken into
account, persons entering State
prisons in 1996 were expected to serve
a minimum of 42 months in prison, up
from 40 months in 1990.

For violent offenders the average
imposed sentence decreased from 107
months in 1990 to 104 months in 1996,
while the expected time to be served
increased. On average, violent offend-
ers admitted to prison in 1996 were
expected to serve about 3 months
longer than those admitted in 1990 (or
a minimum term of 70 months versus
67 months).

By offense, the average sentence
length for murder (excluding offenders
sentenced to life) showed the largest
increase between 1990 and 1996,
up from 233 months to 253 months.
Offenders admitted to prison in 1996
for murder, without a life sentence,
were expected to serve about 40
months longer (215 months) than
offenders admitted in 1990 (176
months). Just over a third of offenders
admitted to prison in 1996 for murder/
nonnegligent manslaughter were
sentenced to life in prison. Another 6%
were sentenced to life without parole,
and about 2% were sentenced to
death.

6 Truth in Sentencing in State Prisons

Nearly 40% of all female, black,
and Hispanic prison admissions
were drug offenders

Thirty-seven percent of black offend-
ers, 40% of Hispanics, and 39% of
females admitted to prison in 1996
had committed a drug offense. Black
and Hispanic inmates were nearly
twice as likely as white inmates to be
admitted to prison for a drug offense.

Women were most likely to be admit-
ted to prison for a drug offense (39%)
or property offense (36%). Almost
31% of all males admitted to prison
in 1996 had committed a violent
offense, compared to 17% of women.
Slightly less than a third of admissions
in each racial and ethnic group had
committed a violent offense. White
offenders were more likely to be
admitted to prison for a property
offense (38%), particularly burglary
(16%).

Note: Includes only offenders with a sentence of more than 1 year.

Both the average sentence length and
minimum time to be served in prison
decreased for rape offenders admitted
between 1990 and 1996. The average
sentence length for rape dropped from
153 months to 140 months. The
minimum time to be served for rape
offenders decreased, from 90 months
in 1990 to 72 months in 1996.

Offenders admitted to prison in 1996
for drug law violations were sentenced
to an average of 57 months in prison,
a 6 month decrease from 1990. Drug

offenders were expected to serve 2
months longer in prison (32 months
in 1996 versus 30 months in 1990).

Violent offenders admitted to prison
in 1996 were expected to serve
about half of their sentence

Based on the average sentence length
and minimum time to be served, violent
offenders admitted to prison in 1996
were expected to serve at minimum
51% of their sentence. Drug and
property offenders were expected to
serve about 46% of their sentence in

prison prior to release. Public order
offenders were expected to serve 49%
percent of their sentence.

Since many States are unable to report
the minimum time to be served by
offenders admitted to prison, estimates
of minimum time to be served and
percent of sentence to be served were
calculated with data from 26 States or
about half of State prison admissions.
The projected percent of sentence to
be served is expected to increase as
the number of offenders entering prison
who were sentenced under recently
enacted truth-in-sentencing laws
continues to grow.

Truth-in-sentencing laws would
increase the minimum prison term
by 15 months for violent offenders

Under a truth-in-sentencing law requir-
ing 85% of the sentence, violent offend-
ers would be expected to serve an
estimated 15 months longer than the
projected average minimum time to be
served by offenders entering prison in
1996 (table 6). Assuming the average
sentence length for those sentenced
under truth in sentencing remains the
same as that for new court commit-
ments to State prison in 1996, violent
offenders required to serve 85% of their
sentence would serve a minimum of 88
months in prison prior to becoming
eligible for release.

Offenders in prison for murder (exclud-
ing offenders sentenced to life) are
projected to serve about the same
amount of time in prison under an 85%
requirement, compared to the current
projected minimum prison term for
1996 (215 months). Offenders in
prison for rape are estimated to serve a
minimum of 119 months in prison if

Based on the maximum sentence

term would be expected under an 85%
requirement, compared to the current
60-month projected minimum prison
term for 1996.

Violent offenders would serve
about 10 months less under
a 75%-requirement than
an 85%-requirement

Assuming sentence length remains
constant, violent offenders would be
expected to serve on average 78
months in prison under a 75% require-
ment, or 10 months less than offenders
under an 85% truth-in-sentencing
requirement. Under a 50% truth-in-

sentencing requirement, violent offend-
ers would serve on average a minimum
of 52 months in prison prior to becom-
ing eligible for release.

For releases, average time served in
prison increased from 22 months in
1990 to 25 months in 1996

State prisoners released for the first
time on their current offense served on
average 30 months, or 25 months in
prison and 5 months in jail in 1996.
Offenders released in 1990 served on
average 28 months, or 22 months in
prison and 6 months in jail (table 7).

Between 1990 and 1996 total time
served by released prisoners increased
for every offense, except robbery,
which decreased slightly from 48
months in 1990 to 46 months in 1996,
and a small category of other violent
offenses, which dropped from 38

months in 1990 to 35 months in 1996.
Violent prisoners released in 1996
served on average 45 months in prison
and jail, or about 50% of the average
sentence prior to release, up from 44%
in 1990. Offenders released from
prison for rape in 1996 served a total of
66 months, up from 62 months for
those released in 1990. Offenders
released for other sexual assault
offenses in 1996 served 45 months or
9 months longer than those released
in 1990. Offenders released for assault
also served longer in 1996 compared
to 1990 (33 months versus 30 months).

Offenders released for motor vehicle
theft during 1996 served on average 24
months in prison and jail, a 4-month
increase from those released in 1990.
Drug offenders released in 1996 served
nearly 6 months longer in prison than
offenders released for a drug offense
in 1990 (20 months versus 14 months).

Table 8. Part 1 violent offenders released from State prison, 1993, 1995, and 1997

VOI/TIS data generally include only
Part 1 violent crimes (murder/ nonnegli-
gent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and
aggravated assault) (table 8). Some
States used an alternative definition of
violent crime approved through the
grant program, based on the NCRP
definition.

Through the VOI/TIS program, 38
States reported an increase in the
average time served by released Part 1
prisoners between 1993 and 1997.
Vermont reported the largest increase
in time served (up 50 months) between
1993 and 1997, followed by Florida (22
months) and North Dakota (16
months). Overall, time served for
released Part 1 violent offenders
increased from 43 months in 1993 to
46 months in 1995 and 49 months by
1997. The average time served for
Part 1 violent offenders released in
1997 ranged from 35 months in
Minnesota to 87 months in Kentucky.

Part I violent offenders released in
1997 served between 25% and 87%
of their sentence

Among prisoners released in 1997, the
average sentence for a Part 1 violent
crime was about 93 months and the

average time served in prison and jail
was 49 months, or 54% of the average
total maximum sentence. Overall, the
average percent of sentence served
increased from 47% in 1993 to 51% in
1995, and by 1997 released Part 1
violent offenders had served 54% of
the average sentence.

The percent of sentence served by
released violent offenders varied widely
among reporting States, ranging from
25% in Arkansas to 87% in Vermont for
1997. Variations in the percent of
sentence served are due to State differ-
ences in both time served and the
maximum sentence length of released
offenders. The average sentence
length of released violent prisoners

ranged from 49 months in Washington
to nearly four times that in Ohio (192
months).

Part of the variation in sentence length
and percent of sentence served is due
to differences between determinate and
indeterminate sentencing. Offenders in
indeterminate sentencing States may
be sentenced to a relatively long
maximum prison term and a short
minimum term, compared to the fixed
sentence of a determinate sentencing
State. Variations by State in the
percent of sentence served may also
reflect other State-specific sentencing
practices, a differing mix of the type of
violent offenders being released, and
changing release policies.

10 Truth in Sentencing in State Prisons

Black offenders released in 1996
served 2 months longer than white
offenders

Black offenders released in 1996
served about 41 months in prison for a
violent offense, compared to 38 months
for white offenders. For murder white
offenders served 90 months, compared
to 86 months for black offenders and 76
months for Hispanics. Black offenders
sentenced to prison for rape served
about 14 months longer than whites
(70 months versus 56 months).

Females released in 1996 served an
average of 8 months less than males.
Females served 9 months less than
males for a violent offense, about 8
months less for a property offense,
and 4 months less for a drug offense.

Includes only offenders with a sentence of more than 1 year
released for the first time on the current sentence. Excludes persons

Prisoners released in 4 States
served over 70% of the sentence

Part 1 violent offenders released in
Vermont, Missouri, Washington, and
Arizona during 1997 served on average
over 70% of the average sentence.
Time served in these four States
ranged from an average of 36 months
for offenders released in Washington to
82 months for prisoners released in
Vermont. Part 1 violent offenders
released from Kentucky served the
longest amount of time in prison and jail
(87 months), which represented 49%
of the average maximum sentence.

Nearly 18% of released offenders
served their entire prison sentence

About 81% of prisoners released in
1997 were conditionally released to
community supervision (table 9). The
remaining 19% were released into the
community without further correctional
supervision, up from 14% in 1990.

Consistent with recent trends in requir-
ing longer portions of the sentence to
be served, more released prisoners in
1997 served their entire prison term
(18%), compared to 1990 (13%). Also,
more offenders were released to
mandatory parole (release supervision
mandated by law rather than granted
by a parole board) during 1997,
compared to 1990 (41% versus 30%).

Time served increased for parole
board releases between 1990 and
1996

Parole boards have followed the trend
toward increasing the amount of time
offenders serve in prison. The average
time served among offenders released
by a parole board increased from 23
months in 1990 to 24 months in 1994

and 25 months in 1996 (table 10). The
time served for those released under
nondiscretionary mandatory parole also
increased from 20 months in 1990 to
23 months in 1995 and 24 months in
1996.

Violent offenders released by parole
boards served 4 months longer than
other conditional releases

During 1996, violent offenders released
by the discretion of a parole board
served 42 months while other condi-
tional releases (mandatory parole and
other non-discretionary conditional
releases) served 38 months in prison
(table 11). Offenders released by a
parole board who were in prison for
murder/nonnegligent manslaughter
served 21 months longer than other
conditional releases (96 months versus
75 months). Offenders serving time for
assault who were released by a parole
board served 30 months, or 5 months
longer than other conditional releases
(25 months).

Property offenders served about 22
months under both types of release.

board served 21 months and other
conditional releases served about 19
months in prison. Persons in prison for
a public-order offense served about the
same amount of time whether released
by a parole board (16 months) or other
conditional releases (17 months).

Parole board releases served 29%
of the sentence, and other
conditional releases, 47%

Offenders released by a parole board
during 1996 served a smaller percent
of their sentence than other conditional
releases (29% versus 47%). Offenders
in prison for a violent offense who were
released by a parole board served 34%
of their sentence, and other conditional
releases served just over half (53%) of
their sentence. The difference between
the two release types in percent of

sentence served was the result of
longer sentences for offenders who
were eligible for discretionary parole
board release. Offenders released in
1996 by a parole board had an average
sentence of 79 months, 32 months
longer than other conditional releases
(47 months).

Prisoners are serving more time
than release data indicate

The average time-served data reported
for released prisoners understate the
actual time that will be served by
persons entering prison. The numbers
reflect the time served by prisoners
actually released without accounting for
those who will never be released. In
addition, prisoners with extremely long
sentences will not show up in the
release statistics for many years.

Current time-served data
are based on released
offenders who were gen-
erally sentenced under past
or “old law” sentencing
policies. Offenders
sentenced under recently
implemented truth in
sentencing or “new laws”

requiring large portions of the sentence
to be served do not show up in current
release statistics.

State prison population growth is
linked to increasing time served

The State prison population dramati-
cally increased between 1990 and
1997 (figure 1). Since 1990 the State
prison custody population has
increased by 57%, reaching a high of
1,075,052 inmates in 1997, up from
684,544 in 1990. The growth has not
been entirely the result of more offend-
ers entering State prison. The number
of offenders admitted each year has
remained fairly constant in recent
years. Admissions to State prisons
have increased by about 17% since
1990, up from 460,739 to 540,748 in
1997. An increasing amount of time
served by offenders is contributing to
the growth in State prison populations.
(See Blumstein and Beck, 1999.)

The sentences of released offenders
decreased between 1990 and 1996

Another indicator of increasing time
served is a shorter average sentence
length of those actually released from

prison. As a result of changes in
sentencing and release policies, the
more serious offenders with long
sentences are being held in prison, and
less serious offenders with shorter
sentences make up an increasing
fraction of the released prisoners.

Overall, the average sentence length
of offenders released from prison in
1996 was 62 months, down from 65
months in 1990 (table 12). The
average sentence length of violent
offenders released in 1996 was 10
months shorter than those released in
1990 (84 months versus 94 months).
Property offenders released in 1996
had a 5-month shorter average
sentence length. Offenders with long
sentences for violent and property
offenses may be serving longer periods
of time in prison.

The release rate for rape offenders
dropped from 24 per 100 to 15 per
100 State prison inmates

While the actual number of prisoners
released each year continues to
increase, the rate of release (or the
number of releases relative to the
number of inmates in prison) dropped.
In 1996 an estimated 467,200 offend-
ers were released from prison up from
405,400 in 1990 (table 13). However,
the release rate dropped from 37 per
100 State prisoners in 1990 to 31 per
100 in 1996.

The overall decline in the release rate
was also due to a declining rate of
release for violent and property offend-
ers. The violent offender release rate
dropped from 25 per 100 State prison-
ers in 1990 to 19 per 100 in 1996. The
release rate for murder showed the

most dramatic decline, cut nearly in half
from about 10 per 100 in 1990 to 5
per 100 in 1996. Robbery and assault
decreased from a release rate of 32
per 100 in 1990 to about 25 per 100
in 1996. The release rate for property
offenders decreased from 47 per 100
State prisoners in 1990 to 39 per 100
in 1996. The rate for drug and public-
order offenses decreased slightly from
about 41 per 100 prisoners in 1990 to
39 per 100 in 1996.

Few offenders admitted under truth-
in-sentencing laws are being
released from prison

Through the VOI/TIS program, 15
Federally funded truth-in-sentencing
States and 3 non-Federally funded
States reported 1997 admission and
release data on offenders sentenced
under truth in sentencing (table 14).
Three States reported that none of the
offenders admitted under a truth-in-
sentencing law was released from
prison during 1997 (Illinois, Iowa, and
Missouri). Four States reported fewer
than 10 offenders were released
(Connecticut, North Dakota, South
Carolina, and Tennessee).

Among the reporting States, prisoners
admitted under truth-in-sentencing and
released from prison during 1997 had
both short sentences and prison terms.
The average sentence of released
offenders ranged from 9 months in
Ohio where offenders served 9 months
in prison to 43 months in Nevada
where offenders served 18 months.
Since the small number of truth-in-
sentencing prisoners who were
released during 1997 had short
sentences, the average time served by
these offenders is not comparable to
national time served data. Due to the
estimated time to be served by offend-
ers admitted under truth-in-sentencing,
these offenders are not expected to be
released from prison for many years.

10-year prison term under truth

Table 14. Part I violent offenders admitted and released from State prison
under truth in sentencin g, for selected States , 1997

violent offenders admitted to prison
during 1997 under a truth-in-sentencing
law vary greatly by State. Of the 17
States able to report data, the average
maximum sentence length ranged from
46 months in Minnesota to 233 months
in Iowa. Generally, the average
maximum sentence of indeterminate
sentencing States was longer than that
of determinate sentencing States.

For the 12 States reporting data, the
average projected time to be served
for Part 1 violent offenders admitted
under a truth-in-sentencing law during
1997 ranged from 46 months in Minne-
sota to 198 months in Iowa. Six of the
12 States projected that offenders
admitted under a truth-in-sentencing
law would serve on average over 10
years in prison prior to becoming eligi-
ble for release.

7 States reported an average percent
of sentence served above 85%

Violent offenders sentenced and
released under truth-in-sentencing
requirements are serving a large
portion of their sentence. For Part 1
violent offenders sentenced under a
truth-in-sentencing law and released
during 1997, seven States reported an
average percent of sentence served
above 85% (Arizona, Connecticut,
Delaware, Minnesota, Ohio, North
Dakota, and Virginia). An additional
four States reported an average
percent of sentence served between
70% and 80% (Florida, Massachusetts,
New York, and South Carolina).

As the number of offenders sentenced
under truth in sentencing continues to
grow, the national average percent of
sentence served by violent offenders
should also continue to increase.
Because truth-in-sentencing laws are
relatively recent, however, the majority
of offenders sentenced under them will
not be released from prison for many
years. Statistics based on current
release data may underestimate
changes in time served due to truth in
sentencing.

Methodolo gy

The National Corrections Reporting
Program (NCRP) collects individual
level data for persons admitted to and
released from State prisons and
offenders exiting parole supervision, by
calendar year. The data cover prison-
ers admitted to or released from
custody regardless of the jurisdiction
where the prisoner was sentenced.
While NCRP collects data on all offend-
ers, this report includes data on prison-
ers with a total sentence of more than a
year.

The NCRP datasets are available from
the National Archive of Criminal Justice
Data at the University of Michigan and
can be downloaded via the Internet.
A codebook, explanatory notes, and
sample SPSS and SAS statistical setup
files are included with each dataset.
The datasets for 1983 through 1995
are also available on a series of eight
CD-ROM’s.

Caution should be used for year-to-year
comparisons of NCRP data to account
for differences based on State partici-
pation and valid data reported. Varia-
tions in the ability of a State to report
certain variables (such as sentence
length and minimum time to be served)
and in definitions used by participating
jurisdictions are reported in the
explanatory notes.

NCRP participating States

The number of jurisdictions reporting
data varies from year to year. In 1996
admissions and releases were reported
by the following 37 States and the
California Youth Authority: Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, and
Wisconsin. Except for Florida and
Maine, these States and Massachu-
setts also reported in 1990.

Estimating the admission and release
rates by offense

The admission and release rates for
sentenced prisoners under State juris-
diction by offense were estimated using
the yearend custody population derived
through the forward and backward
estimation procedure outlined in BJS
report Prisoners in 1996 (NCJ 164619).
Data from the BJS State and Federal
inmate surveys, conducted in March
1986 and August 1991, were used to
estimate a custody population by type
of offense for each year from 1986
through 1996.

To obtain the base year jurisdiction
population, the proportion of the
estimated 1989 and 1995 custody
numbers by type of offense was
applied to the sentenced jurisdiction
population from the National Prisoners
Statistics (NPS) collection. For the
1990 and 1996 admissions and
releases, the offense distribution (in
percentages) from NCRP were multi-
plied by the total number of admissions
and releases of sentenced prisoners
reported in NPS. The final estimates of
the number of inmates by offense for
1990 and 1996 were calculated by
adding admissions and subtracting
releases from the 1989 and 1995
yearend jurisdiction estimates.

The admission rate was calculated by
dividing all admissions during the year
by the yearend population of the
preceding year. The rate of release
was calculated by dividing the number
of inmates released during the year by
the number in prison at the beginning
of the year plus the number admitted
during the year.

Truth-in-sentencing reform

BJS contacted each State for verifica-
tion of all truth-in-sentencing State-level
references in this report. Truth-in-
sentencing laws vary from State to
State on effective date, offenses
covered by the law, and percent of
sentence required to be served prior
to release, among other requirements.
The Violent Offender Incarceration and
Truth in Sentencing Incentive grants
program provided State-validated
sentence length and time served data.

14 Truth in Sentencing in State Prisons

All 50 States reported data on admis-
sions and releases with a common
definition of Part 1 violent offenses.

Weighted averages were used to
calculate the average sentence, time
served, and percent of sentence served
from State-level VOI/TIS data. A
weighted average for time served is
calculated by multiplying the mean time
served for each State by the number of
releases in the State. The results were
summed and divided by the total
number of releases.

Definition of terms

New court commitments — persons
entering prison directly from a sentence
by a court and not from an unsuccess-
ful period of community supervision
(parole). Includes new court admis-
sions, probation revocations, and
admissions after the imposition of a
suspended sentence.

Violent offenses — Crimes involving
personal injury, threat of injury and theft
of property or attempted theft by force
or threat of force. Includes murder,
manslaughter, rape, other sexual
assault, robbery, assault, extortion,
intimidation, criminal endangerment,
child abuse, and other offenses involv-
ing confrontation, force, or threat of
force.

Maximum sentence length — the
sentence for the most serious offense,
as determined by the offense with the
longest sentence. Whenever a
sentence had both a minimum and a
maximum term, the maximum was
used to define the sentence length.

Total sentence length — the longest
time that an offender could be required
to serve for all offenses.

Minimum time to be served — the juris-
diction’s estimate of the shortest time
that each admitted prisoner must serve
before becoming eligible for release.
Factors used in this estimate include
minimum sentence length, good-time
credits, earned-time credits, parole
eligibility requirements, and early
release requirements and allowances.

Life sentence — any prison sentence
with a fixed or maximum term of life in
prison, regardless of the possibility of
parole.

First release from prison — anyone
released for the first time on the current
sentence. Excluded from first releases
from prison are persons who had previ-
ously been conditionally released from
prison for the same offense and then
were returned to prison for violating the
conditions of that release.

Subsequent release from prison —
persons released from prison after
having been admitted to prison for a
violation of parole or other conditional
release.

Conditional release — anyone released
from prison into community supervision
with a set of conditions for remaining
on parole, which, if violated, can cause
the person to be returned to prison.
This subsequent incarceration can be
for any of the remaining portion of the
sentence the inmate may have on the
current offense.

Unconditional release — anyone
released from any further correctional
supervision who cannot be returned to
prison for any remaining portion of the
sentence for the current offense.

Total time served — calculated by
adding the average time spent in prison
and the average time spent in jail.
