*Corrected: **"Prisoners in 2019"* [ [link removed] ]

In table 10, the incorrect number of U.S. Hispanic female residents and other female residents (denominator) was used in calculating the imprisonment rates of Hispanic and other females. These rates were revised. An associated bullet on page 16 was revised as follows: The imprisonment rate of Hispanic females (63 per 100,000 Hispanic female U.S. residents) was 1.3 times the rate of white females in 2019, and was higher than all age groups except white females ages 45 to 49.

"Prisoners in 2019" provides counts of prisoners under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities in 2019, including admissions, releases, and imprisonment rates. It describes demographic and offense characteristics of state and federal prisoners.
