Methodological Notes: 

The Annual Parole Survey collects population counts for January 1 and December 31 of each year.  The value reported in the data is the count at the end of the reference year. For the most recent year, this is the population count as of December 31 of the reference year. For all other years, it is the population count as of January 1 of the year following the reference year.
