In 2022, approximately 2,329 per 100,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were imprisoned, compared to approximately 201 per 100,000 non-Indigenous people in Australia. Contrastingly, at the 2021 Census in Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up just 3.2 percent of the nation's population, demonstrating the stark overrepresentation of First Nations people in Australia's prison system.
