BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp.  327-335)


The Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) is responsible for an 
under-custody population of approximately 70,300 inmates who have been 
sentenced to a term of incarceration greater than one year.  During the
past twelve months, the under custody population has decreased 
significantly.  It is noteworthy to observe that the Executive projects
a further decline of 1,300  inmates by April 1, 2001.   

This agency's budget is included in the Public Protection and General 
Government appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive recommends a $2,035,707,700 All Funds-State Operations 
appropriation for the 2001-02 State Fiscal Year (SFY).  This includes a
General Fund State Operations appropriation of $1,799,322,000, a decrease
of $10,488,100 or one percent.  This decrease is derived from a reduction
in capacity demand during the current year, with a resultant modest 
decrease in staff positions.  These staff reductions include approximately
400 correction officer positions and approximately 200 civilian positions
in such areas as program services, clerical staff and other support 
positions.  The Executive expects that these staffing reductions will be 
achieved from staff attrition from a hiring freeze affecting medium
secure facilities.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends a $21,537,000 Aid to Localities appropriation, a 
decrease of $48,397,300 which represents a 69 percent decrease in such
funding. This decrease in Aid to Localities is attributable to the prison
systems' dramatic decrease in capacity demand, which is evidenced by the
sharp decline in State ready inmates housed in local correctional
facilities.  During calendar year 2000, the State ready population
has declined from 2,303 to 576.  The current State ready inmate population
number allows the prison system to move State ready inmates readily from
local to State correctional facilities, thereby virtually eliminating
State ready per diem reimbursements.

Capital Projects

The Executive recommends a total capital appropriation of $235,000,000, 
which reflects an increase of $15,000,000. These funds are proposed for the
ongoing capital improvements and renovations to existing facilities.
