Popis:	The majority of states have used task forces to develop policy recommendations to alleviate prison crowding. This paper examines the formation, composition, and structure of state prison crowding task forces throughout the United States. The policy recommendations issued by these committees are presented and the effectiveness of task forces in implementing their recommendations is analyzed. A typology of task forces is developed and the relationship between task force structure and the degree of success achieved in the implementation process is examined.
