Lots of holiday gifts from BJS for data junkies

This is the time of year in which the Bureau of Justice Statistics releases a whole bunch of statistics about prisoners and others under state and federal criminal control.  This year I got an e-mail from BJS providing links to a cornucopia of data.  Overwhelmed by all the goodies, I decided I'll just cut-and-paste all the goodies and links from the e-mail:
