Description

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) operates 117 federal prisons to house approx. 178,000 federal offenders, and contracts with private companies and some state governments to house about another 40,000 inmates. BOP calculates the number of prisoners that each BOP-run institution can house safely and securely (i.e., rated capacity). This report addresses (1) the growth in BOPäó»s population from FY 2006 through 2011 and BOPäó»s projections for inmate population and capacity; (2) the effects of a growing federal prison population on operations within BOP facilities, and the extent to which BOP has taken actions to mitigate these effects; and (3) actions selected states have taken to reduce their prison populations, and the extent to which BOP has implemented similar initiatives. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
