Maryland Prison Statistics

I've been tracking prison statistics and would like to share my findings. The data I collect is published in Maryland Department of Public Safety Annual Reports, in the Department of Corrections in the Corrections - Operations(formerly Division of Corrections)Annual Reports. Most of the data below has to do with inmates processed. The records are published in pdf format for each year by the state, which I have gathered and converted to a spreadsheet for anyone who needs the data.
