PEOPLE INCARCERATED FOR NON-VIOLENT CRIMES

SUMMARY

Using information provided by the Department of Correction (DOC), we compiled a list of sentenced and unsentenced inmates in prison on January 1, 2010 for crimes that might be considered non-violent. This data counts each inmate once, under the most serious offense they are sentenced for or charged with or convicted of while awaiting sentencing.

What constitutes a non-violent crime is often a judgment call. We have excluded crimes that clearly involve violence but include most other crimes that do not necessarily involve violence. For example, we include weapons possession and sale crimes.

In addition, elements of some crimes on our list include conduct that is both non-violent and violent. For example, the crime of failure to obey an officer (CGS § 14-223) punishes failing to stop driving when signaled by an officer but also imposes a higher penalty if failing to stop causes death or serious physical injury. It is unclear from the DOC data available to us whether offenders listed under this statute violated the non-violent or violent portion of the statute.

For the crimes of conspiracy, attempt, and criminal liability for another, the data does not specify the crime that was the object of the conspiracy or attempt or the reason for the criminal liability. That crime could be violent or non-violent.

Based on this list of potentially non-violent crimes, the prison population on January 1, 2010, included 8,756 sentenced and 2,401 unsentenced inmates with a non-violent crime as their most serious offense. This totals 11,412 inmates or 63% of the total prison population of 18,502 inmates.

NON-VIOLENT CRIMES

Table 1 shows people incarcerated for non-violent crimes, whether sentenced or unsentenced, on January 1, 2010 grouped into the following categories: Court- and Public Official-Related Crimes; Drug Crimes; Harassment, Stalking, and Restraining and Protective Order Violations; Motor Vehicle-Related Crimes; Property Crimes; Sex-Related Offenses; Weapons Crimes; and Other Crimes. The table also shows the current penalties for each crime. The penalties for some crimes have increased in recent years. Because an offender is sentenced under the penalties in effect at the time he or she committed the crime, some currently incarcerated offenders may have been subject to lesser penalties than listed in the table. We do not include other penalties such as drivers' license suspensions.
