Prison overcrowding occurs when the number of inmates exceeds the maximum capacity of a prison. This can lead facilities to become overcrowded, with inmates housed in holding cells. The rise in prison populations is due to less strict law enforcement and opposition to the death penalty, resulting in higher costs for taxpayers and increased workload for prison staff. Proposed solutions include expanding prison size, outsourcing housing of death row inmates, or temporarily using police holding cells.
