Standard Bookings
Turn-Self In (TSI) bookings are situations in which an offender has been sentenced and ordered to return to jail at a later date. In-Transit bookings are individuals being held for other jurisdictions while being transported. While those In-Transit may stay overnight, they do not impact the daily jail system count.

Renamed the Emergency Population Release Plan, the plan re-states the existence of a jail population emergency when the population exceeds 95% of capacity (1,117) and updates the processes established to resolve the emergency.

* Red bars indicate days on which EPRs occurred. EPRs do not always or only occur when capacity exceeds the 95% threshold. Efforts are made to balance the population to the demands of the classification system for specific types of jail beds and balance the space needs for male or female inmates.
Additionally, jail capacity varies throughout the day. These capacity calculations are based on 4 AM population counts.
Percentage of Capacity by Day
October averaged 113 US Marshal inmates per day. As US Marshal inmate counts per day may change over time, these data are as of November 2, 2020.
