Oregon could be called the benchmark state in the nation when it comes to the incarceration rate within its borders, as 2013 numbers nearly mirror the national average. According to the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), Oregon imprisoned 385 individuals per 100,000 residents in its state prison system in 2013. That number is just slightly below the national average, 395 prisoners per 100,000 Americans. That equates to about 3 percent below the national average for Oregon. The NIC reported that Oregon had 15,362 state prison inmates in 2013 and those prisoners were overseen by the Oregon Department of Corrections, which had a $1.4 billion budget and 4,566 employees.
