Every U.S. Attorney's Office press release across 95 federal districts (SDNY, EDNY, CDCA, MA, MDFL, etc.) — 241,278 federal prosecutions discovered via DOJ XML sitemap walk. Categorized: 98,434 sentenced, 42,518 indictments, 40,811 pleas, 8,970 convictions, 732 settlements, 308 seizures/forfeitures. Top districts by volume: District of Massachusetts (9,171), Middle District of Florida (7,849), Western District of Pennsylvania (6,871), South Dakota (6,778), Western District of New York (6,203). **Pipeline crack**: justice.gov individual /usao-{dist}/pr/ pages are SPA-rendered (2.8KB shells), but `/sitemap.xml` exposes the full URL inventory (168 child sitemaps × 2000 URLs each). Loader walks sitemaps, filters for /usao-{district}/pr/ pattern, extracts district + slug + lastmod date, derives title from slug humanization. Each release becomes a canonical SEO page at `/federal-prosecution/{district}/{slug}`. Distinct from `doj_press_releases` (main DOJ news, ~thousands) — USAO district press is the local-prosecution layer where most federal cases are announced.
