The survey findings indicate that States used a combination of these strategies. Between fiscal year (FY) 2007-2008 and FY 2011-2012, 148 facilities were closed, 29 new facilities were opened, and 23 States added 22,740 beds to existing facilities, resulting in about a 19,000 net bed reduction overall. Closures were not necessarily related to fiscal pressures or always related to reductions in the prison population. Despite the Great Recession, correctional funding is still a large part of State expenses, and many States' correctional populations continue to grow. (Publisher abstract modified)
