Comments:

Community Supervision - Data reflect average monthly caseloads.  These data are not comparable with caseloads published in prior editions of the Legislative Budget Notes, which measured end-of-year caseloads. Accounting issues at the Department of Corrections may have overcounted active caseloads.

Institutions - For FY 2004 through FY 2009, institutional counts include beds rented from other jurisdictions.

Average Cost Per Inmate - The FY 2005 average cost per inmate does not include funds paid toward the Stamey and Arrasmith lawsuit settlements. FY 2005 through FY 2009 average cost per inmate does not include start-up costs for expansion at the Monroe Corrections Center, the Washington State Penitentiary, the Coyote Ridge Correctional Center, the Cedar Creek Correctional Center, the Larch Correctional Center, or the Mission Creek Corrections Center for Women
