Your office later agreed that, because the proposed construction at Lorton has been delayed and because the District did not plan to request funds to staff new facilities in fiscal year 1974, we should_ n~exami~e z.eriemnts at this time b $ h l or review of estimates of future inmate poU -n aliiaJl ies. The District's estimate of future inmate population at / Lorton, used in the appropriation hearings to justify the construction program, was overstated and the anticipated in- creases in the number of inmates have not materialized. We believe, therefore, that not all the proposed facilities may be needed at this time. When we advised the Commissioner of the District of Co- lumbia of our questions concerning the reasonableness of the estimates of future inmate population, he suspended plans to award contracts for constructing new facilities at Lorton un- til a supportable estimate was developed.
