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.
