Posted 4 months ago In our county jail.. The ratio of inmates to guards is suppose to be 48 to 1 state law, some units have 58, some have 72.. Plus we are understaffed, what are some of the numbers in your neck of the woods?? |

|
| Posted 4 months ago Our pods hold 72 inmates with one officer if we are at full capacity......our numbers range from 50 to 65 inmates usually.....if we have extra personnel on shift that day, the shift commander will start with the pod with the greatest number of inmates or the pod that has been the most trouble lately and put the extra officers in there.....

| Posted 4 months ago I guess it is true what they say. The inmates do run the facility. |
|
| Posted 4 months ago At the last joint I worked, each unit had up to 166 inmates, with 1 CO in the Control Bubble and MAYBE 1 CO working on the tier. The CO in the Bubble had a Remington 870 with blanks and 7-1/2 birdshot. |
|
| Posted 4 months ago We are around 60-70 inmates per officer |
|
| Posted 3 months ago brother,the last place i worked before and even after i got promoted we were so short staffed id work a housing unit by myself with approx 135 inmates.its sucks.its dangerous but thats where your people skills come into play.dont ever back down do your job but you have to chose your battles. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Our ratio is 88 to 1. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Our Jail only holds about 70 inmates. When I started, 10yrs a go, we only had one officer per shift. Now we have 2 officers per shift and average a ratio of about 30-1. We are in the planning stage of building a new 250 bed jail, so hopefully, the commissioner's will remeber to hire some more staff, lol. Especially since we will probably be housing DOC inmates also.

|
| Posted 3 months ago our pods holds 128 inmates and one c/o we are usually full and we are thinking about putting our day room in to day beds do that could be fun. be happy you only have 48 i wouldnt know what to do with myself. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Our 144 inmates to 1 officer in one facility, 133 inmate to 1 officer in our other facilities. |
|
| Posted 2 months ago We have 2 styles of Housing Units at ICC 2 man cells in 3 Pods 88, 80, 88 to 1 control Officer 2 floor Officers then, Six Pod Dormitory style Units with 3 man cubicles 59 each to 1 control Officer 2 floor Officers I didn't do it, nobody saw me, can't prove nothin' |
|
| Posted 2 months ago In Texas for the county jail the ratio is 48 -1. There are instances when the facility can get a waiver for up 72 inmates. Our's is 48 -1 also and they are some sneaky lil bast@rds. : ) I am battle kitty hear me roar! |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Same story in NC.....ALOT and TOO MANY verses NOT MANY and NOT ENOUGH..... |
|
| Posted 2 months ago Worst case scenarios in a cell house, 250 to 3. During feed lines and rec lines we ran all 250 out and in at one time. You spend a lot of time chasing. I moved up to a seg unit, 1 on 1 at all times and they must be cuffed. |
|
| Posted about 1 month ago I have never heard of a number from state. My facility houses something like 2200+ inmates, and we have about 300 officers spread out over three shifts. On any given day in a pod we have about 550 inmates and maybe 10 officers if we are lucky. Broken down even further some units house 80 guys to 1 officer (direct supervision rocks!). Most are 64-1 |

|
| Posted about 1 month ago REGARDLESS of the state - it's evident that the numbers reflect "ALARM" and "DANGER"....all you guys be safe and watch your 6. |

Especially since we will probably be housing DOC inmates also. That "more staff" part is always what gets left out. Don't want to have to add that to the budget y'know Red blooded right wing Christian, anti-hippie nutjob. Any questions? An unarmed man is a subject, not a citizen. Protect your rights, carry a gun responsibly. Do your civic duty, support the death penality for politicians! |
|
| Posted about 1 month ago We average 60-90 to 1 in direct supervision, Plus 1 rover and 1 supervisor. In the pods (2 man cells) we average 48-60 to 1, plus 1 rover and 1 supervisor. In seg we have 2 officers to 1 inmate. |
|
|
| Posted about 1 month ago In our minimum security dorms.. I will be sitting at a desk with up to 58 inmates.. I prefer that to a remote unit indirect supervision. I hate the darken room, i fucks with your eyeballs, while doing reports.. give me a super lit dorm any day.. it makes me a LOT more happy, after a day in there, than a day in a remote... 4 sections by 24 (72 to 1 ratio) |
|
| Posted 24 days ago At most 36 inmates to 1 officer in a pod. This includes county, state (parole violators and just sentence inmates), federal and immigration. |
|

| Posted 3 days ago Those numbers really are alarming and horrifying but I guess it's outta sight outta mind. You guys be safe. |
