This week the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR) reported on the status of measures being
taken to reduce the California’s adult inmate population. This
report is in response the to the Three-Judge Court order to
reduce the prison population in California by February 28, 2016.
The State’s status report and benchmark report on the current
in-state and out-of-state adult prison populations reflects
CDCR’s efforts to develop and implement measures to comply with
the population reduction order of 137.5% of design bed capacity.
At present, California’s state prison population is approximately
136.0% of design bed capacity. For more information online please
