Based on the comparison between the E-textbook Figure 14.1 Parole Entries & Exists 2000-2014 and the 2020 Report, several changes can be noted:
1. In the E-textbook data, the number of parole entries and exits each year remained relatively stable, with fluctuations between 450,000 and 600,000. However, in the 2020 Report, there was a significant decrease in the number of people on probation, with the number declining by 8.3% from 3,330,200 to 3,053,700. This decline in probation population was the largest annual decline since the collection of probation data began in 1980.
2. In contrast to the decrease in people on probation, the number of adults on parole increased by 1.3% in 2020, from 851,000 to 862,100. This increase in the parole population contributed to an overall decline in the total number of adults under community supervision in 2020.
3. The 2020 Report also highlighted that 1 in 66 adult U.S. residents were under community supervision at yearend 2020. This statistic provides context for the scale of community supervision in the United States and demonstrates the significant impact of probation and parole systems on the adult population.
Overall, the comparison between the E-textbook data and the 2020 Report shows that there have been notable changes in the numbers of individuals on probation and parole, with a decrease in probation population and an increase in the parole population in 2020. These changes reflect shifting trends in community supervision practices and underscore the importance of understanding and addressing the needs of individuals reentering society after imprisonment.
At the expiration of their prison term, most inmates return to society and try to resume their lives. Around 450,000 inmates are either released on parole or complete their term of parole each year. The total parole population each year is around 850,000
In a document report the changes you found from the E-textbook Figure 14.1 Parole Entries &
Exists 2000-2014 verse the attached 2020 Report.
E-textbook Figure 14.1 Parole Entries &
Exists 2000-2014 In 2000 there was around 450,000 to 500,000 in both parole entries and parole exits. In the years 2008,2009 & 2010 the graph is at its highest with around 550,000 to 600,000 parole entries and 550,000 to 600,000 parole exits. Between the years 2013 and 2014 the graph is at its lowest with a little above 450,000 parole entries and a little above 450,000 parole exits
An estimated 3,890.400 adults were under community supervision at yearend
2020, which was a 6.6% decline from
the 4,167,100 who were supervised in the community on January 1, 2020 (figure 1). 1
This decline was solely driven by a reduction in people on probation, who made up the majority (79%) of the community supervision population.
During 2020, the number of people on probation decreased from 3,330,200 to 3,053,700 (down 8.3%), the largest annual decline since the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BIS) began the probation collection in 1980 (not shown).
The number of adults on parole increased 1.3% during 2020, from 851,000 on January 1, 2020 to 862,100 at yearend. Among all adult U.S. residents, 1 in 66 were supervised in the community at yearend 2020.
