Abstract
Tables address the categorical daily average, the average daily populations and incarceration rates per 1,000 county population, the percentage of average daily population over the Department of Corrections rated capacity, county pretrial percentages, and 1994 jail population summary tables. On average, there were 42,482 inmates in Florida's county detention facilities during August 1995, a 1.0-percent increase in the inmate population from that reported for July 1995. The statewide average daily population totals for August 1995 included 36,607 adult males (86.1 percent), 4,738 adult females (11.2 percent), 1,085 juvenile males (2.6 percent) and 52 juvenile females (.1 percent). The overall distribution of male and female inmates has remained constant in county detention facilities for the past 6 years. 5 tables
