Quarterly data analyzed by means of multiple regression analysis provided quarterly projections of the detention population, sentenced incarcerated, and parole population in the District of Columbia from January 1984 through December 1986.
Abstract
New detention commitments increased between 1980 and 1983, as did the average time served. These and other factors indicate that the detention population will gradually increase and will range between 1,903 and 2,263 between 1984 and 1986. Use of the Occoquan facility and the housing compliance plan will relieve some of the overcrowding. However, the detention population will exceed rated capacity by 38 percent to 64 percent through 1986. The sentenced incarcerated population will also increase, with the major impact on the Occoquan facilities. The parole population will remain relatively stable as a result of increased incarceration and other factors. Figures and tables.
