This descriptive report is limited in providing complete prosecution, sentencing, and incarceration trends but compiles reliable arrest and appeal data. Although nonprescriptive, this report develops a descriptive baseline for subsequent studies. While no apparent direct correlation exists between the measured variables and jail population levels, inmate data indicate that jail facilities will soon reach their capacities, and even the gradual increase in arrests, convictions, and appeals could exacerbate an overcrowding problem at that time. Graphic data show trends from the late 1970's through the early 1980's.
