+ # USSC Federal Sentencing Database
19
+
20
+ Every federal defendant sentenced from FY2002 through FY2025 (1.72M), from the U.S.
21
+ Sentencing Commission's public individual offender datafiles: demographics, offense
22
+ of conviction, guideline calculations, sentence imposed, departures and variances.
23
+ The Commission's ~22,000-variable fixed-width layout is reshaped into a wide
24
+ `sentences` table plus long tables per count of conviction, guideline computation,
25
+ drug type and departure reason.
26
+ **13,962,089 rows across 9 tables.**
