Speaker 3, a prison staff presenter, told the Lycoming County Prison Board that October averages showed 196.55 males at the county prison and 35 males at the pre‑release center, for a combined average daily population of 231.55 at those facilities and a systemwide average of 272.65 with a peak of 283.
"In the month of October, the prison maintained an average of 196.55 males," Speaker 3 said, and noted there was a peak male population of 243 at the facility. The disciplinary committee, chaired by Deputy Warren Barnes, conducted 63 hearings in October; 58 resulted in guilty findings with lockup time imposed, four were guilty with lockup suspended, and one was found not guilty.
Speaker 3 also presented a Nov. 10 mental‑health snapshot showing 303 inmates systemwide (268 males, 35 females). On that day, 99 inmates were listed under roster A (32.67%), 78 under roster B (25.74%), 116 under roster C (38.28%), and 10 under roster D (3.31%). Medication rates reported that day were 31.71% of pre‑release center males and 58.33% of pre‑release females receiving psychotropic medications; at the county prison, 35.4% of inmates were receiving medications. Speaker 3 summarized the total as 35.8% of the system population receiving psychotropic medication.
The board packet also included program highlights: staff completed de‑escalation and communication training on Oct. 14 led by training supervisors Doug Ellsworth and Blaine Gibson, a prison tour for AFSCME union leadership on Oct. 10, and officer safety training conducted by Training Sergeant Billy Mitchell Tree on Oct. 30.
The board did not take policy action on the population or medication reports; the materials were received for review and discussion. The presentation identified training steps and disciplinary outcomes that administrators said aim to reduce incidents and improve inmate care going forward.
