Released by ACLU: Evaluation of the Current and Future Los Angeles County Jail Population – Prepared by James Austin, Ph.D., Wendy Naro‐Ware, Roger Ocker, Robert Harris, Robin Allen – April 10, 2012
“This report is designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the Los Angles County jail population in terms of its attributes, current and future population trends. More importantly, it provides a plan that will allow the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department (LASD) to safely manage its jail population within its current jail facility capacity by implementing evidence-based policies that have been adopted in other jurisdictions. The plan has been reviewed by Sheriff Baca and he agrees with the plans recommendations that will allow him to close the antiquated Central Jail facility and still safely manage the growing number of AB 109 inmates and thus avoid costly jail construction.”
