A lot of context missing here. What’s the time frame? How many are currently in prison? How many cases occurred in the last three years? I’ve done some searches online but I can’t find any of the answers.

The table says "non-detained" - which obviously means NONE of these convicted individuals are in prison.
The reason you can't find anything online yet is because the mainstream media is avoiding the story like the plague. I don't think they can keep suppressing it, however, now that Trump is citing the numbers on the campaign trail.
I have a lot questions, too. Were these people convicted of crimes in their home countries or here in the US? Does CBD "catch and release" them first, then find out about their criminal histories later? Or do we know we're releasing "bad hombres" into the country when we catch them and run their info against our existing criminal/terrorist databases?
Whichever the case may be, this "catch and release" policy is insane!
One more thing - the 425k number is for CONVICTED criminals only. I hear there are another 225k who have been released while awaiting trial in the US on various criminal charges. It appears we don't lock anyone up anymore.
If anything, the numbers underestimate the problem. They don't include the 30k migrants a month who are coming in under the Biden/Harris parole policy. This program flies in people from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti - countries that don't cooperate with us in sharing criminal records, which means we have no way to vet the migrants beforehand.
Perhaps our resident immigration expert HDGristle will weigh in?
