Total prisoner count by sex and by jurisdiction (state and federal prisons) are included for ease of comparison. The HIV in Prisons database is based on data collected for the National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) Program, an annual survey sent to the 50 states' departments of corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the commonwealth territories.
