The steep rise in U.S. criminal punishment in recent decades is
spurring new research on the collateral consequences of imprisonment
for labor markets, civic engagement, and community health. Yet little
is known about the size and scope of the ex-prisoner and ex-felon
populations beyond prison walls. We develop state-level estimates for
these populations from 1948 to 2010 based on life tables adjusted for
recidivism and mortality. We then display cartograms and choropleth
maps of population shifts for African American and total ex-felon
populations and discuss our work in creating a user-friendly archive
for these data.
