CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) - West Virginia officials
hope a study is closer to recommending ways to ease the state's inmate crowding
crisis.
Researchers with the Justice Reinvestment Initiative are
scheduled to update state officials Monday.
The project aims to keep the public safe while also
addressing West Virginia's
at-capacity prisons and overcrowded jails.
West Virginia's
adult incarceration rate ranks 32nd among states. But it leads the nation for
prison population growth.
The initiative is a project of the Justice
Center at the nonpartisan Council
of State Governments. It's helped a number of other states, including
neighboring Ohio. The U.S.
Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Pew
Center on the States are paying for
the study.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin requested the study and appointed the
working group that's meeting with researchers Monday.
