The National Corrections Reporting
Program (NCRP) is the only national data collection furnishing
annual individual-level information for State prisoners admitted or
released during the year, those in custody at year-end, and persons
discharged from parole supervision. The NCRP collects data on
sentencing, time served in prison and on parole, offense,
admission/release type and demographic information. BJS, the
Congress, researchers and criminal justice practitioners use these
data to describe annual movements of adult offenders through State
correctional system. Providers of the data are personnel in State
Departments of Corrections.
