This report provides information regarding the average daily population of each correctional complex, major institution, and satellite housing unit operating under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Department of Corrections during fiscal year 1991. Average daily population and end- of-month figures are reported for community and residential juvenile programs.
Abstract
The average daily population for each major institution includes the number of inmates housed at the main facility as well as those inmates who are assigned to each of the satellite units and prefabricated modular units. The report notes trends during the period 1987 through 1991. During fiscal year 1991, the average daily population in New Jersey exceeded 22,500. The population for the Department as a whole increased 9 percent over 1990. This continued increase in adult institutional population was attributed to the impact of Title 2C and subsequent legislative modifications to the State Criminal Code. 8 tables
