Dear Department of Corrections,

 

I am interested in the total number of prisoners classified according to
each security classification, as well as how they are housed.

security classification (Minimum, Low, Low-Medium, High, Maximum)?

2) Please break down the total number of prisoners in each security
classification by gender

3) Please break down the the total number of prisoners in each security
classification by ethnicity

4) What are the total number of beds available in minimum-security units?

5) What are the total number of beds available in low-security units?

6) What are the total number of beds available in low-medium-security
units?

7) What are the total number of beds available in high-security units?

8) What are the total number of beds available in maximum-security units?

9) How many prisoners are currently being housed in units that do not
match their security classification?

10) How many cells in minimum security are double bunked?

11) How many cells in low security are double bunked?

12) How many cells in low-medium security are double bunked?

13) How many cells in high security are double bunked?

14) How many cells in maximum security are double bunked?

 

Yours faithfully,
