The reeom mondation will be made to the next Legislature, and the proposal has received the endorsement of Gov Calvin L. Rampton. Research indicates the prison population will continue to rise, and because of rapidly rising building costs, it would be adv antageous to build the new facility as quickly as possible, s The board has endorsed the principle ot decentralization of present prison facilities, and Iavid E Hughes, chairman, said at a meeting Thursday the board would not support construction ot the new facility at the present prison site He said the board has not made any recommendations on a location, but it will be ready with data and recommendations if it is requested by the Legislatuie. Dr. Richard J. Oldroyd, the divisons director of research, says rapid growth in prison population is not unique in Utah, it is occurring throughout the nation of 22 percent from 197.1 to was only slightly above the national average of 18 percent. Fourteen slates i.xperieneed a faster growth rate than Utah. Many "Mnny states have a critical situation because they house more inmates than their normal bed space capacity, and this at a time when the courts are pi escribing rigorous guidelines relative to prison population, Oldroyd explained 1975 I'tah is somewhat unique m that it uses probation is an alternative to incarceration more fmntontlv man mot', oilier siati-s- .

This is despite a crime rate that approximates the national average, Oldroyd said The researcher said it generally appears that Utah uses its prison conservatively, although the average length of incarceration lias increased over tn' lost several years Although Utah incarcerates less (ample. it appears to incarcerate them for more Urns tapprovi with 2) montle mutely 30 mouths compared nationally), Oldroyd explained in malt rials pro v :d d the hoard in it s Thursday nncting Ohfl ex ,i,u piise. meawxe reasonsUtah is a good place to live and its population is increasing rapidly The tKipulahon at risk iages is projected to increase quite rapidly until about 1985 -- Public sentiment seems to move in cycles, with the current mood demanding more and longer use of incarceration - Palmer "Utahs growth rate ni d 54,100.
