Abstract
Statistical summaries of fiscal, personnel, and offender information, as well as departments and institutions under court order and more, provide nationwide data often sought by professionals and the public. These summaries precede facility listings. The listings of adult and juvenile services include organizational overview; central office administrative staff, phones and faxes, and administrative boards; institutions; community-based programs; parole boards; parole and aftercare services; probation services; and court services. The organizational overview defines the organization of services for adult and juvenile institutions as well as parole and probation services. Information on institutions covers name, address, phone number, administrative staff, year opened, capacity, average daily population, degree of security, offender type, age limits of offenders, institutions or programs accredited, facilities for females only, medical or psychiatric facilities, cost of care, and number of employees.
