• The term prison admissions refers to the 39,354 inmates who were sentenced by the courts and brought into the state prison system during the fiscal year. The admissions section of this report is focused exclusively on the characteristics of these individuals.
  
  
• The intakes featured in the table are different from prison admissions in that they did not receive a new sentence when they were admitted into the prison system. They may have violated their terms of post-prison supervision, or returned from court without a new sentence, etc. This report does not focus at all on the 8,950 intakes also brought into the prison system during this fiscal year, though it is important to note that these individuals are back in the system, albeit without new sentences. They are not included in current admissions because they were counted previously for their original admission.
