Pemenjaraan di Amerika Serikat

Total pemenjaraan di AS menurut tahun

Pemenjaraan di Amerika Serikat adalah salah satu bentuk hukuman dan rehabilitasi utama untuk penindakan kejahatan besar dan gugatan lainnya. Amerika Serikat memiliki populasi penjara terbesar di dunia, dan tingkat pemenjaraan per-kapita tertinggi.[1][2][3] Pada 2016, terdapat 655 orang yang ditahan per 100.000 populasi di AS. Ini adalah tingkat pemenjaraan AS untuk orang dewasa atau orang menjelang dewasa.[4][1] Pada 2016, 2.2 juta orang Amerika dipenjara, yang artinya setiap 100.000 orang, terdapat 655 orang yang sekarang menjadi tahanan. Pemenjaraan tersebut membuat pemerintah Amerika Serikat menghabiskan $80 miliar dolar setahun.
