So, does Arizona rank No. 8 for the highest incarceration rates in the U.S. and the world? By one measure, yes.
PHEONIX — In a recent debate, Arizona Democratic candidate Julie Gunnigle claimed that the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office needs criminal justice reform and said its incarceration rate is “out of step with the national norm.”
“As long as the border between prison and jail terms is consistent, there is nothing grossly misleading about comparing state level and national level incarceration rates trans-nationally,” University of California at Berkeley legal professor Franklin Zimring said. According to current estimates based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 estimates, the U.S. has a prison population rate of 505 people per 100,000 of the national population.
“When we put together our incarceration rates, it’s not just prisons,” Bertram said. “We also count detention in local jails, the detention rate of people from states in federal prison. And, then, we also count juvenile incarceration and immigrant detention.”
