7 Inmate Population Characteristics Under-educated, under-employed High percentage with drug/alcohol abuse issues or addictions Mental Health issues ranging from personality disorders to major mental illnesses. Relationships with parents, spouses, children and friends damaged by bad choices Money problems, lack of stable housing Little or no post-release supervision

8 Detention Services Changes Combined Jail/Geiger inmate population decreased from 1113 in 2008 to 762 in 2010. During this time, inmate programs were discontinued. In 2011, at the recommendation of David Bennett, the Sheriff directed Detention Services to implement alternative sentencing programs, education programs and substance treatment—primarily at the Geiger facility.

9 Present Detention Services Community Corrections Programs New Horizon & NEWTA drug and alcohol assessment and treatment provided on-site with referrals for re-entry services. Evidenced-based cognitive restructuring programs: Moral Reconation Therapy, Breaking Barriers Education Programs including GED studies, Partners In Parenting, Commitment to Change, Money Smarts Partnering with Fulcrum Institute Dispute Resolution Clinic to provide Offender Education Programs; Job Skills (finding & keeping a job), Emotional EQ, Anger Management on site. Inmate referrals to Fulcrum Institute for post-release Job Search and placement assistance through the Fulcrum Business Roundtable (200+ local businesses), as well as continuing education.

10 Geiger’s Program Challenges Location: removed from core services and public transportation Old facility: high maintenance and operation costs Two missions: serve as an overflow facility for the jail, and to provide programming to reduce recidivism and create a safer community Two distinct offender groups: one working in programs, treatment and education; the other a jail overflow group uninterested in changing their lives-- although able to reside in a dorm setting

11 Geiger’s Program Challenges Little control over who is housed at Geiger Programs, education and treatment entirely voluntary Unpredictable and short (13 days) length of stay Lack of post-release supervision and re-entry services

12 Best Community Corrections Model Ideally, community corrections centers are not “mixed,” but comprised only of sentenced inmates committed to change. Offenders wanting change are “sentenced” or “diverted” to the community corrections center Risk/Needs assessment determines appropriate services: treatment, education, re-entry Transitioned to the community with appropriate supervision and support

13 Working Toward The Vision Sheriff Knezovich, BOCC, Detentions Command Staff and David Bennett have helped identify our needs and goals. Help us continue moving toward a comprehensive criminal justice plan to create a safer community
