Criminal Justice Wrapped 2024

The Prison Policy Initiatve has created a graphic that summarizes “criminal justice” in the United States during 2024 in a “wrapped” style format. Unsurprisingly, our system of mass incarceration continues to waste money, destroy lives, and break apart families and communities—all while managing to make people less safe.

The US Carceral System Wrapped.
• 1.9 million people behind bars.
• Highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy in the world.
• Costs taxpayers $182 billion per year.
• Cycles people through local jails more than 7 million times per year.
• Takes 2 years off someone's life for every year they spend in prison.
