A handout was presented with the average daily population by month and the felons sentenced to County Jail under the Punishment Code. Patrick Tighe presented the report on behalf of Pete Corwin. The average daily population during October 2000 for Broward County facilities was 4,168. If Work Release and the hospital are added, the average daily population for all facilities during October was 4,437. In all facilities the jail population is going down which it usually does during the holiday season.
Arrests are at a little peak on misdemeanors and felonies have dipped slightly.
Juvenile crime is on the rise again. Felons on violation of parole have taken a dip as have the pretrial felons and misdemeanors. Again the dip is attributed to the holiday season. Sentenced felons were on the rise but have taken a dip. Misdemeanors have peaked somewhat.
