Cook County Jail Population (2012-2018)

The jail population data reflects the population in the jail held pre-trial or serving short sentences and is referred to as the divisional population or the general population. This population does not encompass the entire population confined in the Cook County Department of Corrections, which also includes those ordered to court-ordered programming within jail custody, those in the hospital on the jail campus, or those held in the jail from other counties. The total confined population is typically 5-10% higher than the general/divisional population. The general population data is compiled here by taking the daily population reports issued by the Cook County's Sheriff's Office's Bureau of Strategic Operation and Information, using the daily data on the general population and averaging those numbers for each month. The entry for each month then represents the average general population for any single day of that month but may not represent the actual population on any particular day.
