The Data

The Data Behind No Man Behind

No Man Behind publishes criminal-justice and reentry information with dates and sources.

Why lead with data?

Statistics about incarceration change over time and often measure different things. Dates and source material provide context for understanding what each figure represents.

What published research shows

Research documents substantial racial disparities in imprisonment even as the overall U.S. prison population has declined from its 2009 peak. Separate family-incarceration research estimated in 2018 that roughly 113 million U.S. adults had an immediate family member who had been incarcerated.

From data to practical information

The data pages connect to plain-language Know Your Rights guides on topics such as record sealing, voting-rights restoration, and reentry.
