About this measure |
This measure shows the average daily population of the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Downtown Cleveland.
Monthly data are reported by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department on a quarterly basis.
Why is this important? |
Reducing unnecessary incarceration, while maintaining public safety, is a key priority for Cuyahoga County. The impacts of unnecessary incarceration can be devastating to defendants, their families, and the broader community. By monitoring the jail population, the County contributes to ongoing academic research that is assessing the effects of bail reform, diversion, and re-entry services on public safety.
How are we making an impact? | |
The average daily population (ADP) of the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center (CCCC) was 1,633 incarcerated individuals during March 2022, an increase of 14.4% over March 2021. Less than 15% of the jail’s inmate population is sentenced to the jail.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the operations of all criminal justice agencies and facilities as they navigate through modifications to public health security policies; the use of audio-visual devices and technologies used in assessments, evaluations, investigations, criminal proceedings, and treatment services; program and facility staffing levels; and facility bed availability.
The CCCC’s ADP is conversely affected by the operations of local municipalities, court systems, correctional facilities, behavioral health facilities, substance use disorder treatment facilities, and other correctional programming such as the availability of electronic monitoring devices.
