Prior commitment refers to any previous occasion that an inmate served time in the Florida prison system. This does not include supervision, such as probation. Nor does it include inmates who may have been in county jails in Florida or other states, in other state systems or in the Federal prison system.

• The percentage of inmates in prison with a prior commitment decreased from 55.8% in 1996 to 47.7% in 2001.
  
  
• Of the 37,667 (52.3%) in prison on June 30, 2001, who had no prior Florida prison commitments, 52.2% were white, 44.5% were black and 3.4% were other races.
  
  
• Of all inmates, 19.8% had been in prison in Florida once before, 11.8% had been in twice before, and 8.6% had been in four or more times before.
