Prisons: bed thresholds.

Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to reduce the population of private in-state male contract correctional facilities. Existing law requires the department, to the extent that the adult offender population continues to decline, to reduce the capacity of state-owned and state-operated prisons or in-state leased or contract correctional facilities. In reducing prison capacity, existing law requires the department to take into consideration, among other things, the cost to operate at the facility, the impact on its workforce, and public safety and rehabilitation.
