“As the overall New York City jail population continues to decline, the number of people detained due to technical parole violations is on the rise, a new city study reports. The average daily inmate population for those accused of violating the conditions of their state parole grew from 550 in 2014 to 650 in 2018 – an increase of about 18%, according to data released on Tuesday by the city’s Independent Budget Office.“
