Iowa Eyes 400 More Prison Beds as Inmate Count Tops 7000
Iowa's prison population surpassed 7,000 for the first time prompting Rep. Teresa Garman to push adding 400 beds at the Fort Dodge facility. The plan would add two 200-bed housing units and use at least $10 million in infrastructure funds, building on 750 medium security beds planned for later this year and Branstad's 500-bed expansion. The DOC notes 7,014 inmates exceed design capacity by 42 percent, with Mitchellville women’s prison most crowded.
