1994 Jail Population Recap

Incarceration Rates
In 1994, the statewide county detention incarceration rate was 2.7 per 1,000 county residents based on the population estimates for April 1994. Incarceration rates ranged from an average low of 0.9 in Union County, to a high of 7.8 in Wakulla County. Wakulla County's high incarceration rate is the direct result of holding a large portion of their inmate population for the U. S. Marshal's Service. Other counties may also be experiencing high incarceration rates due to the contracting of bed space for state and federal inmates.

Overcrowding: Capacity vs. Population
In 1994, 16 of 106 facilities reporting had average daily inmate populations which exceeded their Department of Corrections (DC) rated capacity. The percent over capacity ranged from a low of 1.3% to a high of 106.9%. The remaining 90 facilities were at or below capacity.
