PRISON POPULATION AGE 50 AND OVER BY OFFENSE | ||
| ||
By: Christopher Reinhart, Senior Attorney |
You asked for an update of OLR Report 2007-R-0314, which provides a breakdown of the prison population age 50 and over by offense.
We obtained information from the Department of Correction (DOC) database maintained by the Office of Fiscal Analysis. On March 1, 2008, there were 1,462 inmates age 50 or over. Of these, eight were over age 80, 44 between age 70 and 79, 230 between age 60 and 69, and 1,180 between age 50 and 59. The table below breaks down the population using these age groups and shows their offenses. In the DOC database, an inmate is listed under their most serious conviction offense.
Attached is a more detailed listing showing the exact age and offense of the inmates age 50 and over.
