The Incarceration Trends data tool—available at trends.vera.org—can be used for reference and measurement by justice system stakeholders to understand how their use of the jail has changed since 1970. The tool allows users to explore particular problems within their jurisdiction—such as excessive growth or racial or ethnic disparities.

During this webinar, Christian Henrichson shares findings from the recent report Out of Sight: The Growth of Jails in Rural America, and provides demonstration of how the Incarceration Trends data tool can be used to examine the jail population in your jurisdiction.
