They included a review of mental health training for staff and also guaranteed that inmates would be provided basic hygiene supplies.

Additionally, the task force oversaw the introduction of a prisoner transportation coordinator, a daily bed usage reduction to 87%, and the elimination of bunking in showers as well as double/triple-bunking of cells, greatly contributing to relieving the general overcrowding issues.
