Why Realignment?
- Coleman/Plata –prison overcrowding lawsuit
- State budget
- Recidivism rate from CDCR
- Research
Realignment does not result in early release of any currently sentenced felons. Realignment does not transfer custody of any prisoner from State Prison directly to County Jail. Rather, it changes jurisdiction of specified populations from state to local control, by changing sentencing and supervision requirements

2) New programs included a statewide survey of court users, a guardianship monitoring initiative, recommendations from a criminal justice reform committee, and reports from working groups on business litigation and expedited civil actions.
3) The Judiciary continues to face challenges such as a case processing backlog, increased drug court enrollment, rising foreclosure cases, need for additional IT funding, and issues related to "sovereign citizens."
This document summarizes the Philippine government's medium term plans and activities to fully implement RA 9745 (the Anti-Torture Law of 2009) from 2012-2016. It outlines 6 thematic objectives including: 1) establishing a comprehensive database on detention centers and prisoners, 2) ensuring unrestricted access to detention centers for oversight, 3) formulating rehabilitation programs for victims and perpetrators of torture, 4) training medical and law enforcement personnel on detecting and documenting torture, 5) conducting public education campaigns, and 6) convening an oversight committee.

The Budget Control Act of 2011 will force significant budget reductions at NASA through automatic spending cuts (sequestration) beginning in 2013. If the cuts are around 9% as expected, NASA could lose $1.6 billion in funding for fiscal year 2013. Congress and the appropriations committees have expressed concerns about NASA's cost overruns and poor project management. For NASA to protect its funding in the future, it will need to improve its management and accountability to demonstrate that it is a good steward of taxpayer money.
This document discusses intermediate sanctions, which are punishment options that are more restrictive than probation but less restrictive than incarceration. It describes various types of intermediate sanctions like drug courts, intensive supervision probation, community service, and remote monitoring. The goals of intermediate sanctions are to better match punishment severity to crime seriousness, promote rehabilitation, and reduce incarceration costs. Research suggests intermediate sanctions can reduce recidivism rates compared to traditional probation or incarceration.
The aims of sentencing are punishment, reduction of crime, reform and rehabilitation of offenders, protection of the public, and reparation for victims. When sentencing, courts consider the nature of the offense, the offender's background and culpability, and any aggravating or mitigating factors. For Jade, who was convicted of robbery with a history of theft convictions, the main considerations would be the seriousness of robbery and protecting the public, since past non-custodial sentences did not deter her criminal behavior. A harsher punishment like prison may be necessary to specifically and generally deter further crime.
This chapter discusses diversion and probation, which are how most criminal offenders are punished. It covers topics such as the objectives and rationales of diversion programs, the types of diversion (unconditional and conditional), the history and goals of probation, characteristics of adults on probation, research on whether probation is effective, the duties of probation officers including preparing presentence reports, and the probation revocation process.

Examining the Implementation of Justice Reinvestment in Multnomah CountyAmanda Lamb
This report analyzes preliminary outcomes data from the first year of Multnomah County's Justice Reinvestment Program (MCJRP). Key findings include:
1) MCJRP significantly reduced the use of Oregon state prisons, with prison sentence rates dropping 49% and imprisonment rates dropping 42% compared to a pre-MCJRP comparison group.
2) MCJRP increased the use of local jails in Multnomah County. MCJRP participants used significantly more jail beds than the comparison group, equivalent to about a 2% increase in annual jail capacity.
3) More data is needed to determine what factors are specifically driving the increased jail usage under MCJRP and how to potentially reduce this.
The Nebraska correctional system is currently at 159% of design capacity and is projected to reach 170% by 2020. Several facilities are severely overcrowded, including the Omaha Correctional Center at 192% and the Diagnostic and Evaluation Center at 246% capacity. In 2014, the Council of State Governments conducted a review and recommended reforms to reduce the prison population by 1,000 inmates per year and increase post-release supervision. While some progress has been made through new legislation and funding, overcrowding continues to be a major challenge along with staffing shortages and difficulties providing treatment services.

This document discusses county jails and the case for pretrial reform. It notes that over 60% of jail inmates are pretrial detainees, and that pretrial detention costs taxpayers $9 billion annually. Risk assessment tools can determine pretrial release conditions to balance public safety and fairness. Studies show pretrial programs reduce recidivism and costs while increasing court appearance rates. Surveys find over 75% of voters support risk assessment over cash bail to determine pretrial release.

Presentation to the Public Safety Committee of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors
This document discusses child sexual exploitation (CSE) and the local authority's approach. It defines CSE and notes there are typically over 30 active CSE cases per quarter. The multi-agency CSE team addresses referrals using a pathway involving assessment, relationship building, and disruption strategies. Ofsted and a peer review found strengths in direct work but areas for improvement around resourcing a complex safeguarding response. Steps have since been taken to establish strategic groups, adopt a Greater Manchester complex safeguarding strategy, and develop a new Complex Safeguarding Team to address criminal exploitation.
The document discusses the need for reforming the UK criminal justice system to better balance punishment and rehabilitation. It argues the current system is overwhelmed and ineffective. It proposes a new model that decentralizes power, integrates services across agencies, and strengthens relationships between officials and offenders. This would address the complex roots of crime through coordinated, personalized interventions. The document recommends 14 reforms including giving local leaders more funding and control over rehabilitation programs to test innovative community sentencing approaches.
The document outlines the Transition from Jail to Community (TJC) initiative, which aims to develop an effective model for transitioning individuals from jail back into the community. It describes the TJC model, which focuses on assessing individual risk/needs and targeting interventions, like case management and supervision, based on risk level. The model emphasizes system-level collaboration between agencies, data-driven decision making, and leadership buy-in. It also provides examples of tools to assess risk/needs and discusses how to implement systems-level change through collaborative structures and joint ownership of the reentry process across agencies.

- A new Diversion First Director was announced and award recognitions were given.
- Budget and grant updates were provided regarding funding for pilot programs and initiatives.
- Updates were provided on efforts like the Merrifield Crisis Response Center, housing programs, court dockets, and data sharing/evaluation work.

WhitePaper-How Data Can Support Implementation of Good Practices for ReentryAndrew Dennison
- On average, 10,000 prisoners are released each week from U.S. prisons, totaling 520,000 annually. Recidivism rates are high, with 67% rearrested within 3 years and 77% within 5 years.
- The U.S. spends $80 billion annually on incarceration. In California, it costs $62,396 annually to imprison a nonviolent offender, which is $2,000 more than the state's median income.
- Many states are implementing reentry programs to reduce prison populations and costs. Performance measurement is important to determine if programs are effective in reducing recidivism and increasing public safety.
A Supervised Diversionary Program for People with Psychiatric Disabilitiescitinfo
The document summarizes Connecticut's initiatives to divert individuals with psychiatric disabilities from incarceration through several programs:
1) A supervised diversionary program places eligible defendants on probation and links them to mental health treatment instead of prosecution.
2) A mental health probation unit intensively supervises clients and collaborates with treatment providers to address needs and reduce recidivism.
3) The ASIST program provides mental health staff and services at correctional facilities to reduce incarceration and improve treatment access.
4) Community programs like CREST offer supervision, services, and rehabilitation to prevent incarceration of mentally ill individuals referred from the criminal justice system.
The document discusses Forensic Intensive Case Management (FICM), a program that provides targeted case management to non-violent offenders with mental illness involved in the criminal justice system. FICM aims to divert these individuals from incarceration by coordinating their mental health and criminal justice system services. The program is a collaboration between the local Community Mental Health center, county mental health and jail diversion programs. Research shows that individuals with mental illness are overrepresented in prisons and more likely to become incarcerated. FICM works to reduce recidivism and jail time through intensive case management and community support.
This document discusses population forecasting for the DC Department of Corrections. It provides background on corrections facilities and the differences between jails and prisons. It then examines factors that influence the jail population such as intake and release rates, length of stay by offense, and the complex relationships between the criminal justice system agencies. The document considers the data and challenges of defining cohorts for forecasting. It outlines the forecasting requirements and considerations for using the forecasts for agency budgeting, planning, and population management.

The document discusses how hate groups form and spread hateful ideologies in prison systems. It outlines that prisons are no longer isolated from communities, as 95% of prisoners will return to society. Within prisons, gangs originally formed around identities like race and nationality have transformed into hate groups that seek to intimidate and attack others. These groups spread hateful beliefs as an "infectious disease" among inmates. The growth of hate groups in prisons threatens both the prison system and communities, as these groups develop criminal networks and political influence upon returning to society.

2. To examine the reasons for projected growth
3. To highlight state efforts to control corrections spending

Current imprisonment rates, future forecasts and security issuesPaul Colbert
This document discusses the implications of current and projected imprisonment rates, as well as security issues, for Australian prison systems. It notes that imprisonment rates in Australia have been steadily increasing and are projected to continue rising. This expansion is unsustainable and alternatives should be explored. The document also examines how the "war on terror" and high-profile terrorism trials have politicized criminal justice processes and affected prison conditions and regimes. Terrorist inmates are often held in highly restrictive "supermax" prisons, which raises human rights concerns around isolation, mental health, and fair trial rights. Overall, the document argues for reversing imprisonment trends through evidence-based crime prevention and for reviewing restrictive prison conditions for terrorism inmates.

November 1 -Board approved Sonoma County Interim
Realignment Plan
July, 2012 -Board approved Sonoma County Year 2 Realignment Plan
4. Misconceptions
Realignment does not result in early release of any currently
sentenced felons.
Realignment does not transfer custody of any prisoner from
State Prison directly to County Jail.
Rather, it changes jurisdiction of specified populations from
state to local control, by changing sentencing and supervision
requirements
5. AB 109 Overview
Shifted responsibility of specific felons to county control
Established Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS)
Established new sentencing scheme
Tasked Community Corrections Partnerships (CCPs) with
planning for, and implementation of local plans
6. Non-non-non Offenders
These offenders are serving their sentences locally, sentenced
under PC 1170(h).
Typically, sentence structured as some combination of local jail
time, with period under Mandatory Supervision by Probation.
Current or prior offense must be:
Non-violent
Non-serious
Non-sex
Unless excluded by one of 70+ specified crimes
7. Post Release
Community Supervision
(PRCS)
Probation supervises these offenders upon release from
prison:
– Current Non-violent offenders
– Current Non-serious offenders
– Some Sex offenders
– Does include offenders with a serious/violent offense in criminal
history (as long as it’s not current offense).
– Does not include 3rd strikers
8. Local Impacts
CDCR estimates of ADP for Sonoma County, at full
implementation:
- PRCS - 164 supervised by Probation
- PRCS - 21 in County Jail on violation
- Non-non-non - 230 additional in the local system
(some in County Jail; some on Mandatory Supervision,
supervised by Probation)
9. Local Impacts - Unknowns
-How many PRCS offenders will we receive?
-What will their needs and risk be?
-How will system charge, sentence non-non-nons?
-How many will be sentenced?
-How will they be sentenced?
Custody? Mandatory Supervision? Split?
-How will new laws impact Felony Probation?
-Impact of #s, credits, programming on County Jail ADP?
10. Realignment Challenge
Realignment provides limited funding for each County.
How will local system react?
Can we impact this?
How must our criminal justice system function to handle
many more offenders wisely, safely, and without losing
money?
11. Realignment Funding
Total funding at state level
Calculated from state’s experience/model
Distribution among 58 counties
CSAC created formula for FY 2011/2012
Local Plan
Community Corrections Partnership recommends, BOS approves
13. Criminal Justice Master Plan
Precipitant: Rising jail population, possible need for increased beds.
Projected cost: $300+ million
Quest for Plan B
Consultant spends year studying CJ system
Series of recommendations, fleshed out over a second year
Criminal Justice Master Plan approved by Board of Supervisors Jan, 2010
Key pieces:
-Use of EBP, assess level of risk, resources follow risk, etc.
-Early Case Resolution Court
-Pre-trial program
-Day Reporting Center
-Community Corrections Center
14. Local Planning Process
Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)
14-member committee, created by SB 678 in 2009, predating
Realignment
Realignment builds on SB 678, and defines CCP Executive
committee (voting members)
15. Community Corrections Partnership
Exec Comm Steve Freitas, Sheriff
Jill Ravitch, District Attorney
Jose Guillen, Court Executive Officer, as designee of Presiding Judge
Kathleen Pozzi, Interim Public Defender
Michael Kennedy, Director of Mental Health/AODS
Tom Schwedhelm, Chief of Police, Santa Rosa
Robert Ochs, Chief Probation Officer (Chair)
Efren Carrillo, Board of Supervisors
Veronica Ferguson, CAO
Rene Chouteau, Superior Court Presiding Judge
Karen Fies, Director, Employment and Training, Human Services
Michael Gossman, CAO Analyst
Marlus Stewart , Director, DAAC
Gina Burk, Victim Witness Director, DA’s Office
Steven Herrington, Superintendent, Sonoma County Schools
Jerry Dunn, Interim Director of Human Services
16. Organizing Principles
Use of detention beds should be minimized, in a manner that
is consistent with public safety, and the integrity of the
criminal justice system;
The system, and decisions, should be risk-based;
Research tested methods should be used, as much as
practicable.
17. Early CCP Decisions
County’s Criminal Justice Master Plan should be foundation
Programming should be provided for in-custody, as well as
out-of-custody offenders
A Day Reporting Center should be a fundamental component
of the Plan
Plan should be considered Interim
19. Plan Development Considerations
• Realignment legislation itself
• CCP’s adopted Organizing Principles
• Sonoma County’s CJMP
• Sub-Committee recommendations
• Projections of local ADP numbers
• Assumptions about offenders’ risk and needs
• Anticipation of how criminal justice system will react
• Recognition that needs exceed resources, requiring
prioritization
20. Realignment Funding
Realignment legislation assumes Counties will manage these
populations differently than the State, through a combination
of jail time, supervision, detention alternatives, and
programming.
In fact, we must manage the new populations differently.
Funding will not be sufficient if we follow the State, i.e.:
-lock up offenders for significant periods
-not address needs and risk
-simply release
