Performance

Prison population has been steadily increasing without any corresponding increase in capacity. The Department is currently within 5% of capacity which traditionally they aim to stay below to maximize safety for staff and prisoners.

As of September 2010, the prison count has 6,760 out of a maximum capacity of 6,901 with over 10 new admissions per month. Recent budget adjustments have eliminated planned capacity increases. Below is the prison population over time.

Program: Adult Probation and Parole Programs

Function

Adult Probation and Parole Programs are responsible for: 1) Pre-sentence Investigations for the Courts, 2) coordinating diagnostic evaluations, 3) coordinating pre-release processes, 4) Adult Probation, 5) Adult Parole, and 6) Community Correction Centers (halfway houses).

When a prisoner is released or an offender is put on probation, they fall under the supervision of Adult Probation and Parole. Thus the number of releases and those sentenced to probation is directly related to the number of those under the responsibility of AP&P.

Background

Adult Probation and Parole was created as a separate entity within the Department in 1983 and fulfills the requirements of Corrections' statute for pre-sentence investigations and community supervision.

Statutory Authority

Several major responsibilities are assigned specifically to the Division of AP&P.
