states are currently operating atless than 100 percent capacity -only two atless than 90 percent capacity.  \n● The entire prison system in seven states(andall male penal facilities in one additionalstate)was operating under court order during1983.  \n● Twenty-four jurisdictions were operating one ormore facilities under a court order or a consentdecree and nine others had litigation pending.  \nIn response to the need to house inmates and toreplace out-dated facilities,correctional systems havebcen undertaking substantial capital expenditures,the Bureau said.During fiscal years 1982 and 1983,state correctional systems reported more than $900million in capital outlays and approximately $2.25billion in bonds and other revenue-raising mecha-nisms to support capital construction and improve-ments.Total annual expenditures by state correc-tional systems during fiscal year 1983 were reportedto be approaching $6 billion,and operating expendi-tures increased by 44 percent between fiscal year1980 and fiscal year 1983.  \nEarly Release Programs Help  \nThe Bureau's bulletin,Prisoners in 1983,said that aboutfour percent of the prisoners were women,and almost 93percent of all the prisoners were state prisoners.The FederalPrison System housed 31,926 inmates.  \nEarly release programs and court-ordered populationreductions designed to address prison crowding contributedto declines in a few states:North Carolina's prison popula-tion dropped by seven percent,Michigan's by six percent,Florida's by five percent and Texas'by three percentOnthe other hand,five states-North Dakota,Alaska,NewJersey,Hawaii and Kansas-had growth rates of 20 percentor more last year.  \nAlabama,Louisia","cbCaiuuZ7Ay83xxf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuuZ7Ay83xxf","pdf",2973209,11,"English","#
