It would be up to Leeke and his
governing board to reach agreement
with the Budget and Control Board on
how many inmates state prisons can
"safely and reasonably" hold.
Leeke said later he would probably
push for the same figure of 6,000 that {
he used earlier unless more prisons
could be opened.
The task force hopes to get the
proposed "prison overcrowding
powers act" passed next year. If it
does, early releases of some inmates
would begin right away.
"We're not just going to have to sell
this thing to the General Assembly,"
Drummond said. "We're going to
have to sell it to the public."
But panel member and state Rep.

proposed bill was among the over
crowding task force's most important
tasks.
