A graph created by the Legislative Service Agency, and based on data from the Iowa Department of Correction, shows that prison admissions and releases sharply declined from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2021 due to COVID-19 mitigation.
Efforts to reduce overcrowding Iowa's prisons have been continued into a second year after beginning in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new data from the state.  
As of June 14, Iowa's prison population was 7,744 people, the Legislative Service Agency reported. That's an increase of only 52 people compared to the previous year, a change of less than 1%.
