If, by November 1, 1981, defendants have not been able to reduce overall TDC population to a figure equal to twice the number of general population cells, plus the number of prisoners who can be housed in dormitories that afford forty square feet (excluding bathing, toilet and activity areas) per prisoner, they shall not, until further order of the Court, accept any further prisoners for confinement until the population falls below such figure. After the population falls below such figure, defendants shall not, until further order of the court, accept any prisoner whose confinement would cause the population to exceed such figure. 59 3. By November 1, 1982, defendants shall reduce overall TDC population to a figure equal to 1.5 times the number of general population cells, plus the number of persons who can be housed in dormitories that afford sixty square feet (excluding bathing, toilet and activity areas) per prisoner. Defendants shall not thereafter, until further order of the court, accept any prisoner whose confinement would cause the population to exceed such figure. 60 4. By November 1, 1983, defendants shall reduce overall TDC population to the number of general population cells, plus the number of persons who can be housed in dormitories that afford sixty square feet (excluding bathing, toilet and activity areas) per prisoner. Defendants shall not thereafter, until further order of the court, accept any prisoners whose confinement would cause the population to exceed such figure.
