It means that the person was locked up in jail or prison at the time the census was taken. this can't be the whole answer because my great great grandmother and her sister were both lised as inmates in the Taylor County, Florida census of 1850 and they were only 13 and 15 year old girls at the time. Could this mean that pre-civil war they were not free persons? Hmmm. that brings up a different point. Perhaps they were inmates of an Immigration camp while awaiting to be processed.

How many people in the US in 1860 owed slaves?
Never mind, I found the answer myself. "Of the 27 million whites counted in the 1860 census, 8 million lived in the slave owning states of the South. Of these, 385,000 owned slaves. Statistically, 4.8% of all Southern whites owned slaves. When factored by the entire population, 1.4% of all United States whites were slave owners."
