Book Description
This report provides an update on how the U.S. criminal justice system has responded to jail crowding since the first edition was published in 1985, then examines the role played by individual components of the system - law enforcement, jail administration, prosecution, pretrial services, judiciary, defense, probation and parole and extra-system personnel - in alleviating crowding. Changes since 1985 include : two dimensions of jail use; admissions and length of confinement; and criminal justice decision points and options. The information requirements for a systemwide strategy are identified, including case-processing information, jail population information, methods for gathering information, and information analysis. The report also describes the process and program changes needed, provides a strategy implementation checklist, identifies types of information needed to determine when a jail is crowded and discusses factors to consider when implementing strategies to address jail population pressures.

Book Description
"Tackling Prison Overcrowding is a response to controversial proposals and sentencing set out in by Lord Patrick Carter's review of prisons, published in 2007." "This book comprises nine chapters by leading academic experts, who expose the proposals of the Carter Review to critical scrutiny. They take the Carter Report to task for construing the problems too narrowly, in terms of efficiency and economy, and for failing to understand the wider issues of justice that need addressing. They argue that the crisis of prison overcrowding is first and foremost a political problem - arising from penal populism - for which political solutions need to be found."--BOOK JACKET.
