This chart shows the percent of incarceration sentences involving a person, sex, or weapons charge (see Technical Notes). Since DUI requires mandatory incarceration, these are displayed as well. In general, incarceration sentences should be reserved for serious offenses.

Incarceration includes any jail sentence (with or without probation), community corrections, or prison. Time served sentences are excluded. Cases grouped by most serious conviction charge and disposition date.
