Most violent offenders in state prisons spend less than three years behind bars, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. That’s not true for convicted murderers. A report released this week by the U.S. Department of Justice agency looking at data from 2016 said that murderers convicted of a first offence spend, on average, 13 years in state prisons. But most — 57 percent — of prisoners convicted of violent offenses other than murder spent less than three years in state prisons, the report says. About seven out of every 10 violent offenders released in 2016 served less than five years in state prisons.
