The Prison Policy Initiative today released their important annual report on mass incarceration in the United States. The Whole Pie 2022 reveals that military confinement is a negligible part of the whole, despite a jurisdictional population that is roughly the size of Kansas and is greater than a number of states.

What is the significance of that?

That makes sense, the military has a screening process and kicks out people for minor offenses (before the commit a more serious second offense). You wouldn’t expect many people to get lengthy sentences in the military.

Yes, and another factor is everyone is employed with a salary and health insurance etc.

Exactly. The screening process largely keeps out the criminally inclined.

I don’t have the data off hand, but I’m not mistaken a particularly large percentage of military prisoners are confined as a result of child abuse offenses. 3/15/2022 02:05:02 pm
But.... this could significantly change once we have sentencing guidelines and MJ's doing all the sentencing. The writing is on the wall.. Comments are closed.
