The shrinking of the state’s prison population is hitting a slowdown after several years of dramatic declines, while the number of people in pre-trial lockup now form a larger part of the system, according to a new report from the state Office of Policy and Management. The report, which was presented to the state’s Criminal Justice Policy Advisory Commission (CJPAC) during its meeting Thursday, also found that the prison population will likely decline by about 310 inmates over the coming year, a rate of about 3.2 percent, compared to the roughly 420 prisoners it lost during the same period in the past year.
