"Note: Data represent felony defendants in the 75 largest counties in 2004. Data on length of jail sentence were available for 99% of all cases in which a defendant received a jail sentence. Table excludes portions of sentences that were suspended. Sixty-four percent of jail sentences included a probation term and 16% included a fine. Murder and rape have been excluded from the detail because few of murder and rape convictions resulted in a jail sentence. The total for violent offenses, however, does include these cases. Detail may not add to total because of rounding.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
