 New this morning on MNC, a study looking at federal data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics says that Indiana has, on average, the second longest prison sentences per person. In the Hoosier state, an individual can expect to spend an average of 93.6 months, or seven years, nine months, two weeks, and five days in prison. That number was determined by looking at cases tried in the state between 2018 and 2023. The only state to rank higher was Iowa, whose average came out to around 94.8 months.
