In Schuylkill County 513 inmates were incarcerated in July, a 1.6% increase over the month before, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.

Zaidyn Walker, a 18-year-old, was the youngest inmate in Schuylkill County in July.

Nevin George Wetzel was the oldest at 84-years-old.

Incarceration rates in Pennsylvania have increased dramatically, imprisoning more than seven times the number of people in 2019 than in 1970.

Sentencing practices in Pennsylvania were found to have overwhelmingly impacted people of color.
