Overcrowded Prisons• Overcrowding is a serious issue.
> Prison capacity—size of the correctional population an institution can effectively hold.
> There are three types of prison capacity:– Rated number of inmates a prison can handle,
according to experts– Operational number of inmates a prison can
effectively accommodate based on management considerations
– Design number of inmates a prison was intended to hold when it was built or modified
