USA. GROUNDBREAKING REPORT: Half of All U.S. Adults Have Immediate Family Member Currently or Previously Incarcerated
WASHINGTON, DC – A new, first-of-its-kind report released today finds that nearly half of all adults in the United States – approximately 113 million people – have an immediate family member who is either formerly or currently incarcerated. Based on new research conducted by FWD.us and Cornell University, this is the first ever national estimate of the share of Americans who have had an immediate family member spend time behind bars.
