Abstract
Admissions include first admissions, new conviction from parole, parole revocations, community custody inmates who have been returned to prison, and readmissions. Community custody inmates are persons serving a portion of their prison sentence in the community in lieu of early release time, where controls are placed on their movements and activities by the Department. The offense type is the crime for which a felon is incarcerated. The offenses are divided into two main categories: violent crimes and nonviolent crimes. A felon found guilty of a violent crime as defined in the Sentencing Reform Act is called a violent offender. Included are all Class A felonies and some Class B felonies such as manslaughter 1 and 2, indecent liberties with forcible compulsion, rape 2, child molestation 1, kidnapping 2, arson 2, assault 2, robbery 2, extortion 1, vehicular homicide, and vehicular assault. 23 tables
