Abstract
A systemwide approach is needed to relieve the extensive prison crowding problems in the United States that reached its highest level in 1982, with 43,000 inmates added to the country's federal and state facilities. Interviews with 31 probation and parole officials in 30 states and the District of Columbia were conducted to determine the role these agencies are currently playing in the effort to alleviate prison crowding. The results indicate that there have been relatively few changes in probation programs designed to reduce prison crowding.
