What these data tell us:
From 2003 to 2007, the ratio of male to female inmates booked in the Detention Center remained approximately 4:1, with the female population experiencing a slight increase over the last five years.A breakdown for 2007 provided the following characteristics of the Larimer County Detention Center inmate population (n=489):
- There were 2,232 inmates or 21% of inmate population serving a jail sentence. Inmates were more likely to be awaiting a sentencing hearing (66% on pretrial status), than any other status. 13% had a 'Hold' placed by some criminal justice agency, such as the Department of Corrections or Probation. 'Hold' status typically means that the inmate has violated a term of supervision and is awaiting disciplinary action, such as a parole hold, or that the inmate is being held in custody while awaiting bed space in another residential facility, such as the Larimer County Community Corrections program.
- Inmates age 25 years or younger, including three juveniles (under age 18) held at the adult detention center, made up 38% of the total jail population. Inmates age 26 to 40 (40%) were twice as prevalent as those age 41 to 55 (19%). Inmates ages 56 and above made up 2.5% of the inmate population.
- The majority of inmates were 'White' (73%). Hispanics made up 23% of the inmate population, although they represented approximately 8.2% of the 2006 adult population in Larimer County (See Population by Ethnicity & Population by Age - Ethnicity Table).
