Monthly Criminal Justice Statistics

The Office of Policy and Management’s Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Division publishes a monthly statistical report on Connecticut’s criminal justice system. It includes data on the prison population; people on probation, parole, and other types of supervision; parole hearings and parole granting rates; public defender case loads; and many other things. The report has many useful tables and charts comparing data for the current month with past months and years.

One highlight is a comparison of each month’s prison population to the division’s forecast for the year. On August 1, the prison population stood at 17,648 or 0.8% below the forecast.

The division’s website includes links to the current month’s report.
