Abstract
Statistical summaries of fiscal, personnel and offender information, departments, and institutions under court order provide vital nationwide data. The summaries precede listings of facilities. The listings of adult and juvenile services include an organization overview that defines the organization of services for adult and juvenile institutions and parole and probation services. Information is also provided on central office administrative staff, phones, and faxes, as well as administrative boards. Information on institutions includes names, addresses, phones, administrative staff, year opened, capacity, average daily population, degree of security, offender type, age limits of offenders, institutions or programs accredited by the American Correctional Association, facilities for females only, medical or psychiatric facilities, the cost of care, and number of employees. Sections also provide information on community-based programs; parole board functions and members; parole, aftercare, and probation services; and court services.
