The purpose of this oversight hearing is to hear and receive testimony on the efforts of the Department of Corrections to control and manage the inmate population at the Central Detention Facility (CDF) and the Central Treatment Facility (CTF). Close management of the population, to include working aggressively with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Marshals, and the U.S. Parole Commission, is necessary to maintain a safe environment in Department of Corrections’ facilities as well as to keep the agency within budget. Management of the population is particularly important as the fiscal year 2012 budget includes a reduction of 150 beds at the CTF compared to the current fiscal year. This is a follow-up to a hearing held on November 22, 2011.
