科罗拉多州以人手短缺和释放延迟为由,拒绝扩大2 400万加元的监狱。 Colorado rejected a $2.4M prison expansion due to staffing shortages and delayed releases.

科罗拉多州立法者拒绝增加788张监狱床位的240万美元请求,理由是人员短缺和释放合格囚犯方面的拖延没有得到解决。 Colorado lawmakers rejected a $2.4 million request to add 788 prison beds, citing unaddressed staffing shortages and delays in releasing eligible inmates. 联合预算委员会投票4-2拒绝扩大,强调需要在增加能力之前制定全面计划。 The Joint Budget Committee voted 4-2 to deny the expansion, stressing the need for a comprehensive plan before increasing capacity. 超过5 000名囚犯在假释合格日期前仍被监禁,工作人员短缺导致担任警卫职务的非保安雇员。 Over 5,000 inmates remain incarcerated past their parole eligibility dates, and staff shortages have led to non-security employees filling guard roles. 虽然委员会批准了一些紧急供资,但它为本届会议晚些时候提出的修订请求敞开了大门。 While the committee approved some urgent funding, it left the door open for a revised request later in the session.
