Colorado’s incarceration rate sits below the national average, according to a National Institute of Corrections overview of the state’s correctional system. Colorado had the 26th highest incarceration rate in 2013, with a rate of 384 people incarcerated out of every 100,000 people in the state, compared with the national average that year of 395 people incarcerated out of every 100,000. Breaking down incarceration rates even more, PrisonPolicy.org showed that the state's incarceration rate rose rather quickly from 1978, when only a few thousand people were incarcerated, to 2007, when as many as 23,000 people were incarcerated. Since that peak in Colorado’s incarceration history, the rate has dropped off slightly, with about 20,000 people incarcerated in 2011. Read More. |
