Where would I find statistics for the state and federal prison populations (both total and broken down by gender)for 1970, 1971, 1972 or 1973? I checked the Bureau of Justice Statistics site, but its reports only go back to 1977.

In addition to the online copies of Statistical Abstracts, you might be able to find them in print copies at a Federal Depository Library. Also, it is important to know that depository collections are accessible to the public, even those contained in an otherwise private (typically academic) collection.
