Data on the population currently incarcerated in any of the state prisons under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) as of December 2023. Information was acquired via the California Public Records Act (CPRA). CDCR applied several privacy (health, age, etc.) related exclusionary criteria to release these records to Redo.io. To enhance privacy and security, we applied an MD5 hash algorithm to further mask the original CDCR identification numbers in our public dataset.
Our data and analyses are independent of the Three Strikes Project at Stanford Law, Office of the State Public Defender and all other organizations with whom we partner and collaborate. This is an open data initiative not supported by or affiliated with any of the aforementioned parties.
