Conditions In Local Jails

Remain Inadequate Despite

Federal Funding

For Improvements


Law Enforcement Assistance Administration

Department of Justice



Standards for the adequacy of physical con-
ditions and services to be provided in local
jails are needed in the United States. The
standards should be developed jointly by the
States and the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration.

This is shown by GAO's findings that Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration funds
did not result in adequate improvements of
overall jail conditions and by recent Federal
court decisions mandating that some localities
improve their local jails or close them.
This report raises questions concerning
whether Law Enforcement Assistance Admin-
istration funds should be spent to improve
local jails that remain inadequate--even after
Federal funds are spent.
