10-20-Life Felons Admitted to Prison
Admissions by Quarter
Analyzing 10-20-Life sentencing using prison admissions each quarter identifies trends in the effect of the legislation.
The admissions trends for the 3-, 10-, and 20-year mandatory sentences remain fairly stable.
The admission trend for the 25-to-Life mandatory sentences appears to have leveled, although recent numbers are much higher compared to the initial quarters.
