According to a recent report from The Utah Foundation, the Utah State Prison in Draper can house up to 4,500 offenders, both male and female. The Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison can hold 1,600 males.
That means both of Utah’s prisons combined, has 6,100 beds.
According to the report, as of September 2018, there were 6,636 prisoners in the beehive state, which means we’re over capacity.
