Abstract
The average daily population figures for the reporting period include 31,290 adult males, comprising over 86 percent of the prison population, 3,831 adult females (10.6 percent), and 917 juvenile offenders (2.6 percent). Over 70 percent of the total inmate population were convicted for felony offenses. Offenders being held for trial represented 56.5 percent of the inmate population, 26.6 percent were serving sentences for felony or misdemeanor convictions, 8.9 percent were detained for parole violations, and the remaining 8 percent included those detained under mental health and alcoholism statutes, undocumented aliens, and offenders from other jurisdictions. During this period, the statewide county detention incarceration rate was 2.7 per 1,000 county residents; seven of the 67 Florida counties had average daily inmate populations which exceeded their Department of Corrections-rated capacity. 4 tables and 3 figures
