This Florida County Detention Facilities Summary provides a monthly profile of Florida's detention facility inmate populations.
Abstract
Monthly average daily population figures include male, female, adult, and juvenile inmates. These population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor, and "other" subcategories in one table. "Other" includes 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. Within both felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed. One table features the average daily population and incarceration rate in each county. Another table lists the capacity of each county detention facility in Florida, including its percentage over or under capacity. County detention facilities with amended capacities since March 1995 are also noted in the latter table. A table lists the number and percentage of felony and misdemeanor pretrial inmates at each detention facility. The 1995 Jail Population Summary at the end of this report lists detention-center totals for the year to date. 4 tables
