Budget Highlights
The FY 2017 Executive Budget recommends $3.182 billion for the Department, an increase of $236 million from FY 2016. This increase is mainly attributable to restoring capital appropriations to their prior level offset by the elimination of the 27th institutional payroll in FY 2016.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 29,089 FTEs for the Department, an increase of 220 FTEs from FY 2016. This workforce level reflects the Department's efforts to meet key FY 2017 initiatives including the Governor's Executive Order 150 to appropriately house and serve younger offenders and reforms related Special Housing Unit, and to fill critical positions.
