The Department of Corrections and the Legislature have taken positive steps to better manage the inmate population. The department increased the number of full-time work and self-improvement program assignments. However, the department did not have full-time work or program assignments for 15% of the available inmate population.
The department should continue its efforts to provide additional work and self-improvement opportunities for inmates. The department should also continue to implement strategies that keep inmates occupied during times when they are not participating in work or self-improvement activities.
