The federal inmate population has increased more than eight-fold since 1980, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) has identified prison crowding as a critical issue since 2006. The Bureau of Prisonäó»s (BOPäó»s) rising costs and offender recidivism present incarceration challenges to both DOJ and the Nation. For example, BOPäó»s operating costs have increased over time, and in FY 2014 amounted to more than $7 billion, or 19% of DOJäó»s total obligations. This report discusses (1) DOJäó»s initiatives to address federal incarceration challenges; (2) the extent to which DOJ is measuring its efforts; and (3) the extent to which DOJ is coordinating across its components to implement the Smart on Crime initiative. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
