RFP_Attachment_6.7_Bed_Space_and_Estimated_Populations.pdf

This document is a Tennessee Department of Corrections (TDOC) inmate population data report showing actual population figures from FY18-FY22 and projected capacity across state-operated institutions and privately operated facilities. The data is presented in two main sections: state-operated institutions with 10 facilities and privately operated facilities with 4 locations. The report shows a general declining trend in total inmate population from 21,962 in FY18 to 19,542 in FY22, while the total projected capacity is 23,124 beds.

The state-operated institutions show a reduction from 14,385 inmates in FY18 to 12,144 in FY22, with a projected capacity of 15,500. The privately operated facilities maintained more stable populations, declining from 7,577 in FY18 to 7,398 in FY22, with a projected capacity of 7,624. A notable operational change occurred when the Carter County Annex closed in FY22 as part of a budget reduction, reducing Northeast Correctional Complex's operating capacity by 178 beds. The data indicates that both state and private facilities are operating below their projected capacities, with significant unused bed space particularly in state-operated facilities.
