Mississippi, Montana and Colorado had the largest increase in prisoners, while eight states saw the number of inmates fall.
The number of incarcerated people in the U.S. appears to be growing in some parts of the country, new analysis shows.Data from the National Prisoner Statistics, a set of figures compiled by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, is used to assess incarceration rates across each state. Prison populations have been monitored annually since 1926, and last week, H&P Law, a personal injury firm in Las Vegas, compared each state's prison population in 2021 and 2022 .
In 2022, Montana had 4,691 inmates, up from 4,313 in the previous year—an 8.8 percent increase.Colorado saw the third-largest hike, with 8.2 percent more incarcerations in the state in 2022 than in 2021—17,168 compared to 15,865.Those three states, among others, contributed to the rise in the national prisoner population. Data shows that 2022 was the first time since 2013 that the combined state and federal prisoner population increased.
