In June 2009 there were 29,317 adults in prison (representing an imprisonment rate of 175 prisoners per 100,000 adult population) compared to 21,538 prisoners in June 1999 (150 prisoners per 100,000 adult population) (ABS 2009). The rate of growth per year is a steady 2% per capita and 5% in terms of the actual number of people in prison.
The imprisonment rate for men in June 2009 was 13 times the rate for women (329 prisoners per 100,000 male adults versus 25 prisoners per 100,000 female adults). About two thirds (67%) of all prisoners were aged between 20 and 39 years. The median age of prisoners was 33.4 for men and 34.2 for women.

more interesting is the rate of increase for indigenous australians as compared to non-indigenous australians http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Products/12CF5E952D0E70C6CA2577F3000F0AEC?opendocument
ReplyDeleteI have a sneaking suspicion remote communities and repeat offenders might take up a fair chunk of that increase. When there are no other options available to a judge because of the fact they're in a remote community (like community-based correction programs for example), repeat offenders of minor offences are just sent to prison. Perhaps taking a different approach like this would help too.. http://www.smh.com.au/national/building-trust-in-the-dust-20101207-18ogm.html
