Introduction
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Fiscal Year 2008 Statistical Report provides demographic information for a total of 697,537 cases under supervision on August 31, 2008, as well as those received and released throughout the fiscal year. An offender may have multiple types of supervision and be counted in more than one of the categories provided. The report includes information for both the incarcerated offender population and the adult offender population that is supervised in the community.
The Demographic Highlights section offers a summary of the characteristics of the incarcerated population that was on hand as of August 31, 2008 and offenders who were received and released during the fiscal year. The characteristics include gender, average age, race, offense, custody, sentence length and educational achievement measures. This section also includes characteristics of offenders who were supervised by the Parole and Community Justice Assistance Divisions. In addition to demographics, information offered for the community-supervised population includes supervision status, employment, and primary needs level.
The On Hand section of the report provides an in-depth look at the incarcerated population on August 31, 2008. In addition to comprehensive demographics, this section focuses on the offense, sentence length and release eligibility of the offenders. Detailed information is provided for the Prison, and State Jail, and SAFP populations.
The Receives and Admissions section includes demographics of offenders that were received by TDCJ during the fiscal year. Offenders who are received are categorized as New Receives, Parole Revocations and Community Supervision Revocations/Modifications. New receives are offenders who are admitted to TDCJ who are not under the supervision of the Parole Division. This category also includes offenders who are under the supervision of local Community Supervision and Corrections Departments who have not served in TDCJ for that offense. Parole Revocations include offenders who were revoked from parole, mandatory supervision and discretionary mandatory supervision. Community Supervision revocations and modifications include those offenders under the supervision of local Community Supervision and Corrections Departments who are being incarcerated due to unsuccessfully completing the terms of their supervision after being released from TDCJ on that offense. In addition to demographics, this section also includes offense of record, county of conviction, and sentence information. As a separate category, admissions to TDCJ include offenders who returned from bench warrant from prior fiscal years and transfers from other TDCJ divisions.
ii
The Releases and Departures section provides demographics of offenders who were released from TDCJ custody during the fiscal year. Offenders who were released are categorized as Discharges, Releases to Community Supervision and Releases to Parole Supervision. Discharges are offenders who are released from TDCJ either by full expiration of their sentence or by court order. Releases to Community Supervision are offenders who are released to be supervised by local Community Supervisions and Corrections Departments. Releases to Parole Supervision include releases to parole, mandatory supervision and discretionary mandatory supervision. These types of releases are under the jurisdiction of the Parole Division. As a separate category, departures from TDCJ include deaths, executions, transfers between TDCJ divisions, and bench warrant releases that did not return during the fiscal year.
Statistical tables listing categories by county of conviction (i.e., total releases by county) show the 20 counties with the highest population in the State. All other counties are grouped together.

Community Supervision Revocation19
Parole Revocation
19 For the purposes of this chart, community supervision revocations are only those offenders who were previously incarcerated in TDCJ for an offense, released to community supervision and subsequently revoked for that same offense. Revocations from community supervision where the offender was not previously incarcerated in TDCJ for the same offense are included in the new receives category.
18 New commitments to TDCJ are offenders who have been convicted of additional offenses, one of which is longer than their existing sentence. These offenders would have come into TDCJ as a new receive or as a revocation.
17 Prison and State Jail On Hand by Receive Type are offenders incarcerated on August 31, 2008 categorized by how they were received by the Agency. These offenders were last received during a variety of fiscal years, not just FY 2008.
