Official records and reports provided data regarding the current inmate population and resources, current housing and programs, the system's history and prior planning, and a profile and projection of current and future offender populations. The inmate population is sensitive to correctional policies. The current inmate population is largely minimum security, with more than 60 percent charged with or committed for vehicle, drinking, or drug use crimes. Current facilities are well developed and meet relevant standards. Programs for pretrial release and postsentence diversion and service are generally adequate. The system has more than enough beds for maximum-security inmates and a shortage of beds for minimum- and medium-security inmates. The main need is for space for women sentenced to medium-security facilities. Regionalization or sharing of facilities with adjacent counties shows only limited potential. Several policy options are available to reduce the demand for beds. Tables, diagrams, 72 references, and appended study instruments.
