Prison Pies

SPAC prison pies report on prison admissions, exits, and the population held in Illinois prisons at the end of each fiscal year.

SPAC Average Joes publication series looks at the average person in the Illinois criminal justice system rather than the exceptional cases that receive media attention. Some profiles examine the average person leaving prison, while others describe those convicted for felony and misdemeanor offenses. Note that these profiles are not intended to be predictive but are summary composites of the many individuals with unique characteristics, backgrounds, and histories that go through Illinois' criminal justice system.
