This report provides a monthly profile of Florida's detention facilities inmate population for December 1992.
Abstract
Average daily population figures for December 1992 are collapsed into male and female categories for both adult and juvenile inmates. These population figures are also categorized into felony, misdemeanor, and "other" subcategories so as to facilitate interpretation. Within both felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates held for trial or sentencing and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are presented for December 1992. The "other" subcategory documents the number of parole violators, State inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions, and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Myers (alcoholism) Acts. Additionally, the average daily population figures, the incarceration rates for each county, the number of overcrowded county detention facilities, and the pretrial inmate levels for each facility are included. County detention facilities with amended capacities since November 1992 are also indicated. On average, there were 32,819 inmates in county detention facilities during December 1992, which is a 4.3-percent decrease in the inmate population from that reported for November 1992. 4 tables and 3 figures (Author abstract modified)
