Schema 2 + Schema 6 · IDOC + county jails

The Indiana correctional system in numbers.

Indiana Department of Correction operational data, IDOC adult-release counts by county of admission, and county-jail outcomes including overdose, suicide, and recidivism. Reentry programming is summarized on /rehab; facilities by name on /facilities.

Historical snapshot — IDOC figures as of October 2024.

The IDOC operational-population and monthly-admissions figures below are a fixed snapshot from the last published Indiana Department of Correction monthly report (October 2024) — they are not a live feed and should be read as historical, not current. For up-to-the-day court activity in Indiana, see the live Opinions and County press pages.

About these figures. IDOC publishes adult-releases tables annually rather than as a live feed, so the per-county breakdowns above are drawn from the most recent published reports and are presented as historical snapshots with their as-of dates.
