Answer to Question 1

State-run jails are those in which the state has full operational responsibility.
Cooperative (regional) arrangements involve contracts with neighboring areas to house prisoners on a per diem basis. State-subsidized programs provide technical assistance to local governments with jail problems or for jail personnel training.

Answer to Question 2

Today, there are nearly 750,000 inmates held in jails. Jail populations continue to rise because as prisons become more overcrowded, local jails are used to house inmates. Also, as crimes are more controlled or the local focus is on crime reduction, more arrests are made and more offenders are jailed, creating an ongoing increase.
