Within each chapter, summary data are illustrated through descriptive text, charts, and graphs that record trends and compare the constantly changing CDC population. The data section contains tables that ae referenced throughout the text as the source for charts and graphs. The publication's final section contains a reference guide that lists prisons by name and location and includes maps to identify counties, areas of commitment, and parole regions.
