AP - The total number of people incarcerated by federal or state
authorities in the year ending June 30, 2006, was roughly 1.6 million,
the government said Wednesday. That translated to a 2.8% increase from
the previous year, due to people being put in prison at a faster rate
than those released. Overall, the total number of people behind bars -
including those held in local jails - was more than 2.2 million,
according to the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Nearly 6 out 10 people behind bars nationwide were black or Hispanic.
