2021 Jail Populations and Capacity
2022 Jail Population and Capacity Jan-Aug
This data set shows monthly average jail populations as reported by the jail administrators. DRNC has compared these averages to the known design capacities to show these average monthly populations as a percentage of design capacity for each facility. Any facility operating at above 100% design capacity is in violation of the Jail Rules. Per advocates and corrections experts, jails get increasingly dangerous for both staff and those in custody as jail populations exceed 80% of total design capacity.
