The projected population by FY 2013 is 5,354, a further 48% increase, while the overall inmate population is expected to grow at most 10%. This should concern state correctional officials and government policymakers for the foreseeable future. The growth will require greater attention to training, programs, materials, facilities, and care oriented specifically to this population and to its subgroups, such as female inmates. This in turn will mean greater costs, perhaps 2-3 times those of the general inmate population. Thus, even if general population growth plateaus or decreases in coming years, the costs of the “aging” inmate population could keep necessary overall expenditures at current or higher levels. Correctional officials and government policymakers in Oklahoma need to continue planning for this future with the blueprints laid out by the research and analysis put forward in this paper. Failure to adjust appropriately will likely mean even higher eventual costs. Details: Oklahoma City, OK: Oklahoma Department of Corrections, 2008. 10p.

Author: Oklahoma. Department of Corrections Title: Managing Increasing Hispanic/Latino Inmate Populations Summary: The Hispanic/Latino inmate population in Oklahoma prisons is the fastest growing racial/ethnic population in DOC. While the numbers are not a large proportion of the total inmate population at this time, their growth and rate of increase pose definite questions for effective and efficient management of department institutions. Among the questions are (1) accurate and complete collection of data on their actual numbers and (2) sufficient awareness and application of necessary language and cultural needs to prevent inappropriate planning for and responses to the day-to-day operations of facilities with growing numbers of Hispanics and Latinos. DOC might address these concerns by assigning investigation and recommendations of future concerns and needs to a committee with a timetable for a report on the best ways to meet the challenges of this increasing population.
