National Corrections Reporting Program

The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) collects administrative data annually on prison admissions and releases and on parole entries and discharges in participating jurisdictions. Demographic information, conviction offenses, sentence length, minimum time to be served, credited jail time, type of admission, type of release, and time served are collected from individual prisoner records. The collection began in 1983 and is conducted annually. Beginning in 1999, some jurisdictions also began providing a stock file for all inmates held at yearend. About 41 states provide various types of data for this collection.
