CUSTODY PROGRAMMING AND

INCARCERATION PROGRAMS.
AND RE ENTRY SERVICES.
NOW THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU
TODAY.
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND
THAT WAS VERY QUICK DE ONCE.
DID YOU DID YOU HAVE ANYONE M.
MISTER BARONE HILLS INTERESTED
TO SEE IF YOU BROUGHT FAMILY OR
FRIENDS I DID NOT.
SEE THEY'RE VERY EFFICIENT.
OBVIOUSLY THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH
THIS BEFORE.
WITH THAT.
LEVY S. MISTER MONNING WOULD
YOU LIKE TO START.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE
TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
THE COUNTIES.
WE DID HAVE A CHANCE TO TALK
SOME. YESTERDAY AND.
CURIOUS SOME BOTH YOUR THOUGHTS
ON. QUESTION OF VIDEO
VISITATION.
.
AND.
WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD BE
DONE EXCLUSIVE OF THE RIGHT FOR
PERSONAL VISITATION.
FOR FAMILY MEMBERS VISITING WITH
INMATES.
SO. MY FACILITY WE WE EXCLUDE
SALUTE EXCLUSIVELY HAVE IN
PERSON VISITATION.
WE DO NOT HAVE VIDEO I WOULD
LIKE TO AUGMENT WITH VIDEO
VISITATION BECAUSE WE ITS OF
RURAL.
COUNTY WHO VERY LARGE
GEOGRAPHICALLY AND I THINK IT
WOULD HELP AUGMENT.
AND ALLOW PEOPLE IN OUTLYING
AREAS A DON'T HAVE
TRANSPORTATION THE ABILITY TO
VISIT.
I PERSONALLY MY IDEA I WOULDN'T
HAVE VIDEO ONLY.
BUT I I DO KNOW SOME OF THE
SHERIFFS HAVE VIDEO ONLY. AROUND
UNTIL ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS
SHARE BUT A KINGS COUNTY AS
VIDEO ONLY EN. AND DOESN'T HAVE
ANY GRIEVANCES OR OR COMPLAINTS
RELATED TO IT.
BUT IN MY JAIL WE DO HAVE IN
PERSON VISITATION.
THANK YOU AND.
JUST FOLLOW UP DO YOU SEE ANY.
BENEFITS ARE I CERTAINLY SEE THE
BENEFIT OF HAVING A VIDEO OPTION
PARTICULAR FOR FAMILY MEMBERS.
WHO HAVE TRAVEL CHALLENGES? DO
YOU SEE ANY BENEFITS TO.
MAINTAINING A PERSONAL
VISITATION OPTION.
WELL MY VIEW IS THAT I'M I DO
LIKE THAT THE OPTION.
YOU KNOW FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE
TO SEE THEIR PERSON THERE
RELATIVE IN IN PERSON.
AND RATHER THAN THROUGH IT
SCREEN.
YOU SEE ANY BENEFITS OF THAT TO
THE SECURITY OF.
A PRISON PERSONNEL JAIL
PERSONNEL.
NO IT BE USED AS AN INCENTIVE
FOR BEHAVIOR.
IT IT PLAN.
THEY CAN THAT'S NOT. A NORMAL
SANCTION THAT WE WOULD. WOULD
USE THOUGH. AS PART OF.
DISCIPLINE WE.
WE DON'T USE FOUND WITHHOLDING
VISITATION RIGHTS.
AS A.
PRACTICE THE DISCIPLINE
PRACTICE.
BUT IT COULD BE AND COULD BE AN
INCENTIVE.
THANK YOU IN ALL JUST ASK MISTER
TOLL OF THE SAME SIMPLY IS A
VERY SIMILAR NEVADA COUNTY WE
ACTUALLY OFFER BOTH VISITATION.
I INFO FACE TO FACE AND VIDEO
VISITATION I BELIEVE IN A
PERFECT WORLD. EVERY FACILITY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER BOTH.
I'M.
THE SAME IN THE MEDICARE MONEY
IS WITH THEY DON'T USE IT IS
INCENTIVES.
MOTIVATION IN THAT WAY. BUT IS
A GREAT BENEFIT FOR THE VIDEO
VISITATION WHERE INDIVIDUALS. IN
RURAL COUNTIES.
WHERE EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT
BE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY THEY
MIGHT BE FIFTY MILES AWAY? AND
YET THEY DON'T HAVE
TRANSPORTATION MIGHT BE
DIFFICULT.
ESPECIALLY IN INCOME AND WEATHER
SO I I DO. SUPPORT HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO HAVE BOTH.
MISTER GREGG I THINK IT'S ANYONE
THEN HASN'T ACTUALLY ANOTHER
BENEFIT THAT I.
WOULD SEE WITH VIDEO IS THE
SCHEDULING IS A CHALLENGE AT
TIMES
THE.
IN PERSON VISITATION SPACE IS
LIMITED AND PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO
THE CITIZENS BEEN ABLE TO FIT
THAT WITHIN THEIR THEIR SCHEDULE
IS CHALLENGING WERE VIDEO YOU
HAVE A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY.
TO CONNECT THOSE VIDEO VISITS.
THANK YOU.
IN ANOTHER AREA WE TOUCHED ON
IN.
NOT TO BELABOR THIS BUT I THINK
IT'S AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC
CONCERN.
USE OF PEPPER SPRAYER PEPPER
GAS IN. OF SUBDUING INMATES IN
PARTICULAR IN THE JUVENILE
JUSTICE SYSTEM YOUR THOUGHTS ON
THAT MR TOLER.
AS WE DISCUSSED YESTERDAY.
THERE'S THERE REALLY IS NO
RESEARCH AND DATA OUT THERE
REGARDING OC SPRAY AND THE
IMPACTS ON IT.
I DO SUPPORT ACTUALLY.
RESEARCH.
BEEN DONE IN THAT AREA TO FIND
OUT WHAT ARE THE REAL IMPACTS
ARE THEY IS GREAT AS SOME PEOPLE
DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE.
BUT AS I SAID YESTERDAY.
E. THERE IS THE BALANCING ACT.
OC SPRAY BEING ABLE TO WASH IT
OUT YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WHO'S NOW
CLEAR OF THE SPRAY WITHIN A HALF
AN HOUR. VERSES.
WITHOUT SPRAY YOU POSSIBLY HERE
YOU'RE INCREASING YOUR ODDS OF
STAFF HAVING OF A HANDS ON.
WITHOUT AYE DETAINEES
AND IN NOT ONLY OUR STAFF YOU
MIGHT BE.
YOU NINE DANGER IN STAFFS.
A HEALTH BUT ALSO FOR THE YOUTH
BECAUSE AS I SAID.
OUR TOOK A BROKEN BONE TAKES A
LONGER TO HEAL. THAN ACTUALLY
WASHING OUT THE SPRAY.
SO I DO SUPPORT ACTUALLY.
RESEARCH BEING DONE AND LET'S
SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL DATA.
IN YOUR EXPERIENCE ARE YOU AWARE
OF ANY.
CONCERNS ABOUT THE USE OF.
PEPPER SPRAY YOU'VE YOU'VE
TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE
BENEFITS FOR.
REGARDS AND POTENTIALLY FOR
INMATES NAM.
ANY CONCERNS THAT WOULD WARRANT
ON. CERTAIN PROTOCOLS. HELOTS
HOW CHOOSE WE NEED TO BE
OVERSEEN BY SUPERVISION THE
SUPERVISORS IN THE BUILDING I
THINK.
ANYTIME THERE'S ANY USE OF OC
SPREAD THING YOU NEED TO BE
DOCUMENTED.
I'M WELL AWARE THAT. HE BALK KEY
PROVISION OF HIS OF CALIFORNIA.
WE'VE HAD THAT DISCUSSION OF THE
BODY. AND ALL COUNTIES ARE IN
LINE WITH DOCUMENTATION. IS
ALWAYS WITH WITHIN THE POLICY OF
EVERY JUVENILE HALL SO.
THE AUGMENTATION IS ALREADY
BEING DONE A TIME PURPOSE RAISE
ME.
THANK I APPRECIATED THAT S..
MISTER GRODEN THE SAME QUESTION.
SO. AS FAR AS ADULT FACILITIES
WHEN I STARTED WORKING IN OUR
JAIL TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO WE
DIDN'T HAVE.
OC SPRAY OR ANY KIND OF
CHEMICAL AGENTS AVAILABLE.
AND WE DID HAVE MORE INCIDENTS
OF OF INJURY TO ALL STAFF.
AND THE OFFENDERS. UM'S SINCE
WE'D.
STARTED USING IT THOSE INJURIES
HAVE BEEN REDUCED OF THEM.
THOSE FACILITIES ARE THERE HARD
FACILITIES WHEN. IF.
IF YOU DO USE PHYSICAL FORCE IN
THE LIKELIHOOD OF HITTING.
YOU KNOW THE CONCRETE OR A STEEL
BED AND HAS A LOT OF RISK FOR
INJURY AND MOST THE TIME TO USE
THE FORCE.
AND THEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT
WE'VE USED IT IS ACTUALLY TO TO
STOP INMATE ON INMATE ASSAULTS.
AND HASN'T BEEN YOU KNOW AN
ASSAULT.
COME ON THE OFFICERS THEMSELVES
IT'S TO DO BRICK OF FLY ABOVE
FIGHTER TRYING TO PREVENT YOU
KNOW FURTHER.
INJURY OR A EVEN HIT A FLY
GROWING INTO A A MELEE. SO IT'S
BEEN A VALUABLE TOOL FOR US IN
PARTICULAR TO JUVENILES ARE
JUVENILE HALLS ADJACENT TO OUR
JAIL.
IN ONE ARGUMENT I'VE HEARD IS
THAT IF IF THE COUNSELORS IN THE
WHOLE THAN HAVE IT THEY GET A
CALL FOR PATROL PERSONNEL THAT
TO BRING IT OVER.
THE CONCERN I HAVE WITH THAT IS
WHEN WHEN OUR PEOPLE GO TO
SURPRISE.
SUSE PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE
JUVENILE HALL COUNSELORS IT'S
IT'S.
THE DUVAL COUNSELORS KNOW THE
FACILITY THEY KNOW THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS THEY KNOW. THE
PEOPLE IN THAT FACILITY.
AND SO I WOULDN'T WANT MY
PEOPLE COMING IN THERE WITH A
WITH AN ADDITIONAL IN A LEVEL OF
FORCE AND BECAUSE I THINK AND
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE.
THE JUVENILE HALL COUNSELORS
GUIDING THE ACTIONS TAKEN.
OKAY THANK YOU I APPRECIATE.
YOUR RESPONSES RESHAPE YOUR
SERVICE IN.
MADAM CHAIRMAN GOOD FOR NOW
THINKING.
THANK YOU MISTER MONNING MISTER
BERRYHILL.
YOU I REALLY HAVE NO QUESTIONS
BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT AND THAT
IS THANK YOU BOTH.
YOU WERE VOTE WORKED WITH.
OUR SHARE OF FOR MY SHARE OF.
ADAM CHRISTIANSEN SENSE SO
COUNTY.
AND HELP HIM GET OVER A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS FOR MUCH NEW
BEDS FOR US SO. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE HUBBY SUPPORT HIS
DAY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER BERRYHILL
MISTER VICE CHAIRMAN.
BUT YOU HAVE CHAIR.
.
SO.
FIRST WHAT I WOULD LOOK AT YOUR
LAST THAT THE VICE VOTE WITH YOU
GUYS AND YOU DIDN'T GARNER A LOT
OF REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.
I CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER WHAT THE
ISSUE WAS BUT I THINK THAT.
SINCE THAT TIME OF THAT
INCURSIONS IN THE AS SUPPORT
ONLY THERE'S ANY OPPOSITION SO I
THINK YOU'LL BE A DIFFERENT
OUTCOME THIS TIME SO. WE DO HAVE
A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
AN INTRUSIVE KNOW YOUR
PERSPECTIVE ON THE IMPACTS OF
REALIGNMENT AND WHAT CONTINUES
TO BE SOME OF THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGES THE STATE AND COUNTY
CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM FACE.
OKAY AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES FOR.
FOR MY COUNTY AND IN TALKING TO
THE OTHER SHERIFFS.
HIM MOST OF OUR FACILITIES WHEN
THEY WEREN'T BUILT.
.
TO HOUSE PEOPLE FOR LONG TERMS.
ILLINOIS IS OBVIOUSLY WHEN I
STARTED WORKING IN THE JAIL IN
AND STARTED RUNNING THE JAIL WE
WOULD HOLD PEOPLE PRIMARILY UP
UP TO A YEAR. SOME PEOPLE PRE
TRIAL FOR LONGER ON SERIOUS
CHARGES. OF BUT NOW THAT THE
LONGER TERM OFFENDERS.
AND FACILITIES THAT WERE BUILT
FOR THAT PURPOSE CLEARLY MONEY'S
BEEN AVAILABLE TO IT TO ADAPT
AND MODIFY IF SOME FACILITIES
BUT THAT PROCESS TAKES TIME.
SO THAT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE THE
OTHER ISSUE IS THE.
IN A WITH THOSE LONG TERM
OFFENDERS YOU GET THE. SIX
SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL MENTAL
HEALTH NEEDS THE MENTAL HEALTH
SIDE IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN VERY
CHALLENGING.
HA BECAUSE THERE ARE LIMITED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOR PLACEMENT
OUTSIDE OF CORRECTIONAL
FACILITIES AND I THINK THAT
SOMETHING IS A STATE THAT WE
NEED TO ADDRESS.
THAT'S ONE OF MY PRIMARY
CONCERNS IN A IN A IN MY
PARTICULAR COUNTY ONE ISSUE WE
HAVE IS THE. WE HAD HAVE HAD
SOME UNANTICIPATED IMPACT FROM
THE. THE STATE PRISONS WERE
PEOPLE COMMIT A CRIME IN PRISON
THAT'S A. THAT'S A ROOM.
THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR A REALIGNED
AS SENTENCE AND SO THEY COME
FROM ONE OF THE STATE PRISONS
INTO SERVICE AND SEND THEIR. IN
THE COUNTY JAIL.
LET'S OBEYING THE COMMITTED TO
THEIR IN PRISON.
THEY COMMIT SOME OTHER CRIME IN
PRISON THEN THEY GET TO LEAVE
PRISON AND GO TO THE COUNTY HAKA
IN ONE OF IF ONCE THEY'RE ONCE
IT COMPLETED THEIR PRESENCE AT
OAK. BEEN THOUGH COME TO COUNTY
JAIL SO THAT WAS. THAT WAS
UNANTICIPATED FORM FOR US AND
IT'S PRESENTED CHALLENGES
BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIG
FUNDAMENTAL PORTIONS OF
REALIGNMENT WAS KEEPING.
LOCAL VENDORS LOCAL I THINK
THERE'S BEEN SOME IT.
CLEARLY IS SOME BENEFIT TO THAT
BUT IN THIS CASE SOME OF THOSE
OFFENDERS THAT COME FROM THE
PRESENT PRESENT. PRESENT
CHALLENGES BUT YOU KNOW WE DID
THE BEST WE CAN AND WORKING WITH
THEM AND. TRYING TO. HELP THEM
WITH THREE ENTRY BACK IN THEIR
HOME COUNTIES WHEN THEY COMPLETE
THEIR SENSE IN OUR JAIL SO.
PRIOR TO REALIGNMENT YOU SAID
THE LONGER SOME WOULD SERVE IN A
CASUAL WAS ONE YEAR WHAT WHAT
ARE YOU SEE NOW WHAT TYPE OF
SENTENCES.
WE HAVE.
YET THE LONG IS I THINK WE'VE
SEEN IS SEVEN YEARS IN MY
COUNTY.
BUT A NUMBER OF THEM ARE. YOU
KNOW THE AVERAGES LIKE TWO TO
THREE YEARS ON ON FELONIES.
WELL HELLO PRETTY THREE YEARS.
SO THE PROBLEM WITH KEEPING
FOLKS LOCKED UP IN COUNTY
FACILITIES.
IS THAT AS YOU MENTIONED YOU
DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE ALL THE
RESOURCES THE STATE PRISON HAS
SO HOW YOU DEAL WITH EDUCATION
DRUG TREATMENT MENTAL HEALTH.
OTHERS A REACTION YOU KNOW OUT
OF YOUR YARD REALLY GO OUT AND
DO THINGS OR IS IT BUT THE OTHER
I MEAN CLEAR THERE'S THERE'S OUT
THERE A LOT OF BENEFITS THEY'RE.
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
PARTICULAR. AREAS WHERE WE'VE
MADE SOME HUGE STRIDES IN OUR
OUR FACILITY AT ONE POINT.
AND I AM WE HAD SOMEONE I FIRST
STARTED WE HAD SOME EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES AND THINGS BUT OVER
TIME.
MISS BUDGET CUTS HAPPENED ALL
THOSE SERVICES LAUGHTER WERE
BASICALLY WAREHOUSING PEOPLE SO
SENSE REALIGNMENT. HOW WE'VE
REALLY DONE A LOT IN THE JAIL WE
ARE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE LIMITED
SPACE?
IN THIS FALL WE START WE OPENED
OUR OWN. ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL
WITHIN THE JAIL AND SINCE I
THINK AROUND OCTOBER WE'VE
GRADUATED SEVEN PEOPLE. HOWEVER
YOU KNOW IT'S A SMALL FACILITY
HUNDRED FIFTY SIX BED FACILITY.
SO I'M REALLY PROUD OF THAT.
GETTING THAT GOING.
THAT'S THE BIGGEST
ACCOMPLISHMENT PROBABLY BUT
BEYOND THAT WE'VE EXPANDED.
HAVE ANGER MANAGEMENT PARENTING
IN A MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
SIGNIFICANTLY WE HAVE BETTER
MEDICAL SERVICES THAN WE DID
BEFORE SO.
THEY REALLY DID A AND MADE US
ALL LOOK IT AND MADE ME AND I
KNOW A LOT OF THE SHERIFF'S LOOK
AT. EVERYTHING DIFFERENTLY AND
FIGURE OUT OKAY WE CAN'T JUST
KEEP WAREHOUSING IS PEOPLE WE'VE
GOT TO START PUTTING SOME EFFORT
AND TRYING TO HELP THEM.
IT ON THE STREETS OF AND I THINK
WE'VE MADE SOME GOOD STRIDES IN
THAT DIRECTION SO TO EXPAND
ALWAYS PROGRAMS TAKES MONEY IS
THE STATE GIVING YOU SUFFICIENT
RESOURCES TO BILL O DO ALL THAT
OR IS IT COMING OFF OF YOUR
COUNTY. BUDGET AS WELL BUT WE
DO.
IT'S A COMBINATION SELECT ADULT
SCHOOL THEY WERE RUNNING THAT'S
AB EIGHTY SIX ADULT EDUCATION
GRANT FUNDS THAT WE GET IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR.
HOME LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR
ITS DISPENSED THROUGH OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THAT'S
BEEN INVALUABLE WE WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO DO THAT EDUCATION
PROGRAM WITHOUT THAT. THE
REALIGNMENT FUNDS OBVIOUSLY
THERE'S ALWAYS YOU CAN ALWAYS.
THERE'S ALWAYS A NEED FOR MORE
FUNDS I MEAN. IF WE WANTED TO
EXPAND.
BUT WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN
JUDICIOUS IN THE.
EXPENDITURE OF THOSE REALIGNMENT
FUNDS WE GET WE HAVE A STRONG
PARTNERSHIP PARTICULARLY BETWEEN
OUR PROBATION OFFICER AND MYSELF
IN THE LOCAL COURTS IN.
I THINK WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD
JOB OF MANAGING THOSE FUNDS
CLEARLY IF WE WANT TO MAKE SOME
MORE YOU KNOW AND ROADS AND.
AND.
TREATMENT WE DO NEED MARK MAKE
MORE. FUNDING AVAILABLE.
THE LESSON HAS RISEN HUNDRED
FIFTY SIX BEDS
CORRECT THOUGH. IF YOU'RE NOW
HOUSING FOLKS LONGER RIGHTS AND
THE PEOPLE THAT WORK SEE
PRESIDENT ARE GOING TO COUNTY
JAIL ARE YOU SEEN A LOT OF FOLKS
THAT USED TO GO TO COUNTY JAIL
JUST ON THE PUBLIC THERE'S NO
PLACE TO PUT THEM SO THOSE THE
ONES THAT ARE.
KAMALA HEADING RHYME IN.
WE HAVEN'T MADE ANY CAPACITY
RELEASES AND MY COUNTY WE
HAVEN'T HAD TO BUT WHAT YOU DO
SEE IS A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT.
WHAT WITH?
NO PROPERTY SEVEN AND SOME THE
OTHER LAWS TO A LOT OF THOSE
PEOPLE THAT USED TO COME TO JAIL
FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD TIMES ON
ON MISDEMEANORS DON'T.
CONGENITAL ANYMORE SO IT'S IT'S
BEEN IT'S BEEN A SHIFT.
RELATING TO I PUSH BACK FROM
YOUR PUBLIC THAT LOLLIES FOLKS
ARE GOING OUT OF JAIL THERE. AND
I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU GUYS ARE
UPGRADE YES THEY LEFT NO
ACCOUNTABILITY DIDN'T WANT ON
THAT THIN NAM. SOME OF THIS
QUALITY OF LIFE CRIMES THAT ARE
LOW LEVEL CRIME BUT HAVE A LOT
OF COMMUNITY IMPACT ARE UP.
OKAY ALRIGHT MISTER TOLEDO THE
PROBATION TO YOU SUPPORTED AB
ONE LINE THAT THE ORGANIZATION
DID I THINK SHERIFFS WERE IN
OFFICE I CAN'T RIVER ACTUALLY
BUT.
YEAH.
I THINK ONE OF THOSE PORN
THINGS CAME OUT A REALIGNMENT
WAS THE COMMITTEE CORRECTIONS
PARTNERSHIP.
I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS FORCE
COLLABORATION. NEVADA COUNTY WE
WERE ALREADY CLAMOURING AT A
PRETTY HIGH LEVEL I THOUGHT.
BUT I THINK AROUND THE STATE
IT'S FORCED LOCAL COMMUNITIES
LOCAL COUNTIES ACTUALLY START
WORKING TOGETHER.
AND SO YOU'VE SEEN REENTRY
PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT
ACTUALLY INCREASE.
YOU SEEN THE BEAVER HEALTH
INFORMATION GETTING INTO THE
JAIL. WHERE THEY PRIOR TO THAT
THE WORDS I THINK? AND FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE I THINK.
YOU SEEN MORE TREATMENT.
GOING ON IN JAILS AND YOU WERE
PRIOR TO TWO REALIGNMENT.
I CAN SPEAK FOR NEVADA COUNTY
IN SAYING THAT SINCE
REALIGNMENT.
PROUD TO SAY TEN PERCENT
RECIDIVISM RATE REMY ONE
ANOTHER'S WE'RE VERY PROUD OF
THAT. BY THE YOU SEEN RECIDIVISM
DRAW AROUND THE STATE ALSO.
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS A.
A GROUP OF THIS POPULATION.
SO THAT'S FORTY YEARS YOUR
STATED GOALS RIGHT IS NUMBER TWO
SUPPORTING PRACTICES AND
POLICIES SHOWN TO REDUCE
RECIDIVISM IMPROVE JUSTICE
SYSTEM OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS
AND FAMILIES.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT'S
HAPPENING THAT'S WORKING SO WHAT
DO WHAT'S THE AVERAGE STATEWIDE
RECIDIVISM RATE NOW AND WHAT WAS
IT PRIOR TO AB ONE ACT I BELIEVE
WE'RE IN THE MID FORTIES.
OKAY WHERE PRIOR ONE AND
STATISTICS I HAVE IS IF THAT
PAROLE PRIOR TO REALIGNMENT. WAS
ABOUT SIXTY FIVE PERCENT
RECIDIVISM RATE RIVER.
SO I THINK WE'RE DRIVING AROUND
THE STATE. WHO I THINK WAS
SHOWING THE LOCALS ACTUALLY CAN
DO?
AT BETTER JOBS IN THE STATE CAN
YEAH GREGORY AS LONG THE FUNDING
IS THERE RIGHT THAT'S THAT'S.
THAT A COUNTY IS ACTUALLY VERY
WE'RE VERY AND ANALYTICS AND
DATA SO WE'RE ACTUALLY LEADING
THE DATA DRIVER DECISION.
AND SO I THINK WE'RE OUR
CONTINGENCY FUND FOR THOSE
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT
ARISE IN THE FUTURE.
SOMEWHAT PREPARED FOR ALTHOUGH
YOU KNOW YOU YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
COULD COME UP.
BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW WE'VE DONE
A GOOD JOB OF BALANCING OUR
BUDGET AND STILL PROVIDING. MORE
SERVICES THAN WE WERE PRIOR.
REALIGNMENT THEY SAID THE WHAT
DATA DRIVE DECISIONS WHAT DATA
AND WHAT DECISIONS ARE RISKY
SUPERVISION LIKE WE'RE DOING
RISK ASSESSMENTS WERE DOING CASE
PLANS.
OR FINDING OUT WHAT INDIVIDUALS
ARE ARE.
RE OFFENDING. IN NEVADA COUNTY
I CAN SPEAK FOR WHERE WE
ACTUALLY DID A.
A DATA SEARCH OR WE FOUND THAT
I SHALL PATIENTS. REMAIN WAS
ACTUALLY TO PRESENT BETTER
OUTCOMES OF PEOPLE RE OFFENDING
THAN ONES THAT WE CENTER
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT.
WE FIND A VERY INTO A WRITTEN
INTO THAT. ARE WE. SENDING
PEOPLE RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS GOOD IT FEELS
GOOD.
BUT MAYBE IS OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT COMBINED WITH
INTENSIVE SUPERVISION COMBINED
WITH ACCOUNTABILITY. THE REAL
ANSWER.
GREAT VENTURES ALL MY QUESTIONS.
VERY MUCH MR VICE CHAIR OF
MISTER ROTH.
THANK YOU MANAGER.
GENTLEMAN THOUGH WITH RESPECT TO
TO TIE INTO THE QUESTIONS THAT
WERE JUST ASK WITH RESPECT TO
OUR. COUNTY JAIL INFRASTRUCTURE.
.
THE SITUATION CALIFORNIA'S THE
BOARD DONE ASSESSMENT OF COUNTY
JAIL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS IN THE
STATE AND IF SO.
WHAT THE WHERE THE RESULTS?
THAT FOR QUESTION.
IT IS I'M NOT AWARE THAT THE
BOARD HAS DONE A.
THE SURVEY OF.
OF THOSE FACILITIES WITH THAT
SORT OF ASSESSMENT BE HELPFUL TO
YOU AND TO US.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER I'M IS
ASKING THE QUESTION BUT I'M I'M
SURE WOULD.
MEASURE WOULD BE BENEFICIAL I
THINK THAT.
I I I THINK.
CLEARLY THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT FUNDING CYCLES FOR
A BILL CRIMINAL JUSTICE
FACILITIES SO.
IF THEY HAVE AN AMONG THE WHERE
MAYBE THE BOARD HAS SURVEYED THE
FACILITIES BUT AT A MINIMUM
THERE ARE GOING TO HAVE
COMPREHENSIVE.
HERE NEEDS ASSESSMENTS FOR ALL
THE FACILITIES THAT HAVE OF
APPLIED FOR FUNDING THAT WOULD
LEAST GIVE SOME INDICATION OF
WHAT. THAT NEED IS.
AND THEN THE SHIFT GEARS FOR A
MINUTE IN PARA REVIEWING THE
MATERIAL I.
NOTED THAT OF COURSE ONE OF THE
FUNCTIONS IS THE.
THE ANNUAL OR BIANNUAL
INSPECTION OF ADULT AND JUVENILE
DETENTION FACILITIES AND I.
WAS INTERESTED IN NOTE THAT YOUR
INSPECTIONS ARE NOTICED
INSPECTIONS AS OPPOSED TO NO
NOTICE INSPECTIONS AND.
OF COURSE I COME OUT OF THE
MILITARY AND. I TELL PEOPLE WE
USED TO SAY WHAT GETS INSPECTED
GETS DONE. IS THERE A REASON FOR
THE SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS AS
OPPOSED TO NO NOTICE INSPECTIONS
OF THESE FACILITIES.
AND MY ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE
THE THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
DOCUMENTATION.
THAT GOES INTO AN INSPECTION
IT'S NOT JUST GOING AROUND THE
BUILDING AND LOOKING FOR
CLEANLINESS AND LOOKING FOR
HAVE.
YOU KNOW THE SHAPE OF THE
INMATES AT THE DETAINEES LA
DOCUMENTATION THAT GOESINTO
ITSELF IT WAS A SURPRISE
INSPECTION.
I DON'T THINK YOU'D FULFILL THE
DOCUMENTATION SIDE OF IT.
BUT NO TELLING WHAT YOU'D FIND.
IF IT WAS.
IF IT WAS A NO NOTICE
INSPECTION.
I GUESS YOU COULD ARGUE THAT.
I'M JUST FAMILIAR WITH THE
MILITARY THE PLANE LANDS YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COMING.
THE GREEN LIGHT GOES ON
EVERYBODY SCRAMBLES.
YOU KNOW THIS THE STUFF THAT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FILE
DRAWER THE AIRPLANES AT HIS POST
WE RARELY GO.
I SUPPOSE BE READY TO GO AND.
IT DOESN'T REALLY DO MUCH GOOD
TO GIVE SOMEBODY A FOURTEEN DAY
NOTICE BECAUSE.
YOU CERTAINLY OUT OF ASSUME THAT
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE
AIRPLANE'S READY TO GO IN THE
DOCUMENTS IN THE FILE DRAWER
HAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
IS WHAT.
HAPPENS
WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE SO I JUST
ASK THAT IF THERE'S A RATIONALE
THERE'S AN OPERATIONAL RATIONALE
FOR THE SCHEDULED INSPECTION
COMPONENT.
THEN I GET IT.
IF THERE'S NO RATIONALE FOR IT
THEN MAYBE WE OUGHT TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THAT.
YEAH I I I WOULD SUPPORT WOULD.
MYTH CHIEF OR TOLER SAID I LIKED
IT BECAUSE THEY'LL SEND YOU A
LIST OF ITEMS THAT YOU NEED TO
HAVE AVAILABLE ON HIM FROM FIRE
INSPECTIONS HEALTH INSPECTIONS.
ALL THAT DOCUMENTATION AFTER
AVAILABLE AND ALSO. I WANT TO BE
THERE'S THE SHERIFF I WANT TO BE
THERE WHEN THAT RELEASED TO MEET
OR AT LEAST TO BE THERE WHEN THE
WHEN THE INSPECTION IS
COMPLETED.
SO I LIKE TO HEAR FIRST HAND IN
A WHAT WHAT THEY FOUND IN THAT.
AND AND THAT INSPECTIONS CYCLE
IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME TO RUN A
CLEAN YOU KNOW FACILITY. AND THE
HIGHLY BE HERE IN PERSON. YOU
KNOW THE OUTCOME.
AND I KNOW FROM.
.
I ONLY SPEAK FOR NEVADA COUNTY.
WE ALSO INSPECTED BY THE
JUVENILE JUSTICE COMMISSION AND
IN THE ABORTIVE RISERS IN THE
SPIRIT COURT.
AND THE SPIRIT CORD IN THE BARS
CHáVEZ DO LIKE TO DO.
SURPRISE INSPECTIONS THERE NOW
LOOKING AS MUCH FOR THE. AS AS
MUCH ON THE DETENT ON THE
DOCUMENTATION SIDE. THEY WANT TO
COME AND SEE WHAT WHAT ARE
FACILITY LOOKS LIKE.
TODAY RIGHT NOW.
IF SOMEBODY'S DOING A NO NOTICE
INSPECTION IN AMERICA YES.
THANK YOU THANKS YEARS BUSES
CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
.
THE GOOD POINT OF GOING LAST IS
PEOPLE OF* MOST OF THE
QUESTIONS IN THE DISCUSSION BUT.
YEAH AND YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
AN OPENING COMMENTS.
OUGHT TO MAKE STATEMENTS BUT I
GUESS YOU'RE BEFORE. A COMMITTEE
OF LEGISLATORS THAT SERVE IN
DIFFERENT ROLES BUDGET
COMMITTEES POLICY COMMITTEES IF
THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SHARE ONE THING WHAT LEGISLATORS
WHAT WOULD THAT BE FROM EACH OF
YOU.
OF WHAT SIGNIFICANT ONE THING
WOULD YOU REALLY WANT US TO
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE JOB YOU DO.
ARE AND WHAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE
OF ALL START WITH YOU MISTER
IT'LL WELL. I APPRECIATE THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE I THINK
IT'S
YOU'RE SEEING JUVENILE CRIME GO
DOWN AROUND THE STATE.
I THINK.
A LAW ENFORCEMENT PROVISION OF
ARMAND IN DOING A WONDERFUL JOB
AT DOING ALL THOSE BEST
PRACTICES TYPES OF THINGS.
WE'RE NOT DETAINING KIDS LIKE WE
USED TWO JUVENILE HALLS SLOWLY
INSPECTION THE SMALLER COUNTIES
ARE STARTING TO CLOSE. BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE THE
POPULATION TO ACTUALLY KEEP
THROUGH THE HALLS OPEN.
BUT WHAT YOU HAVE IS YOU HAVE
FACILITIES THAT CAN STILL BE
USE.
SO WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IS
SOME FUNDING DOWN THE ROAD FOR
RE PURPOSING JUVENILE HALL.
SOME RESTRUCTURING SO THAT YOU
HAVE MORE OF A JUVENILE FACILITY
NOT A JUVENILE DETENTION
FACILITY.
SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A
PREVENTION SIDE OF THE BUILDING
AND YOU TALKING ABOUT A SMALL
PORTION WHICH IS THE DETENTION
SIDE OF THE FACILITY.
BUT AN AREA WHERE YOU CAN DO IS
A REPORTING CENTER.
SCHOOL.
ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
VOCATION OTHER THINGS THAT YOU
CAN OFFER.
YOUTH TODAY.
WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION BUT WE I THINK WE NEED
TO EXPAND IN THAT AREA AND
CONTINUE ON THE RIGHT PATH AND I
THINK PREVENTION NOW IS WHAT WE
REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON.
AND SO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE
DONE IN THE PAST WITH JAILS AND
REMODELING SO THAT PROVIDE
TREATMENT.
I LOVE THIS AGE OF ALL BE
REPURPOSE FOR TREATMENT. THE
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IN DETENTION.
THANK YOU
WONDERFUL THANK YOU.
I MAKE TWO POINTS MAYBE YES YOU
CAN GET. TO THE FIRST ONE AS A
BOARD MEMBER I JUST WANT TO SAY
THAT.
YOU KNOW COMING IN AND AND TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN I WAS A NEW
SHERIFF OF THIRTY EIGHT YEARS
OLD AND. BUT I I'VE LEARNED A
LOT BEING ON THE BOARD AND I
APPRECIATE THAT THE COMPOSITION
OF THE BOARD ITSELF.
IT'S GOT NEITHER
REPRESENTATIVES FROM PROBATION
SHERIFF'S AGAINST SENATE
APPOINTEES AND. AND SO ON BUT
IT'S A REALLY GOOD.
COMPOSITION THAT BORED AND I'VE
LEARNED A LOT WORKING WITH.
WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT
REPRESENTATIVES THAT COME FROM
DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS.
.
AND THEN FROM ON THE SHARE OF
SIDE.
I THINK WE'LL IN ON THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE I THINK WERE ALL
FACING IN OUR JAILS IS RELATED
TO.
.
THE PEOPLE WITH.
A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
YOU KNOW AND OR CO OCCURRING
DISORDERS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS AND.
AND RIGHT NOW THAT THE RESOURCES
ARE.
ARE LIMITED I KNOW THAT IT.
DIFFERENT FUNDING HAS MEANT
BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR
DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND I THINK WE
DO NEED I STILL THINK WE NEED TO
PUT SOME TIME INTO COMING UP
WITH A GOOD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
ON. ON WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I
DON'T LIKE HAVING PEOPLE. IN MY
FACILITY THAT NEED TO BE INTO A
TREATMENT FACILITY AND I WORK
REALLY HARD.
ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE'S DE
COMPENSATING IN MY CUSTODY DO
TO.
GET THEM OUT.
YOU KNOW FIND APPROPRIATE
TREATMENT SPACE BUT IT'S
DIFFICULT AND IT'S LIMITED.
SO FROM THE SHARE OF SIDE I
THINK THAT'S AN AREA WHERE WE'RE
REALLY WE NEED TO MAKE SOME.
PROGRESS.
ARE YOU FINDING.
.
IN TERMS OF THAT ISSUE WORKING
WITH THE COUNTIES IN SERVICES OR
IS IT BECAUSE TALES IS SEEM TO
BE SO SEPARATE FROM EVERYTHING
ELSE.
IT'S HARD TO DO THAT WITHIN THE
COUNTY.
WELL USED TO BE THAT WAY OUR
LOCAL BEHAVIOR HEALTH HAS BEEN A
GREAT PARTNER FOR THE LAST. IN
THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS BUT AT
ONE POINT IS THEIR POSITION WAS
IF SOMEONE'S IN JAIL IT'S NO
LONGER A COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUE.
THAT PERSPECTIVE IS CHANGING
THEIR HELP FOR THE HARD PART IN
ARE COUNTY IN PARTICULAR WE
DON'T HAVE A COUNTY HOSPITAL WE
DON'T HAVE A LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH
FACILITY. AND SO MOST OF THE
CONTRACT FACILITIES WON'T ACCEPT
SOMEBODY IF THEY ARE IN CUSTODY.
SO NAM IF SOMEONE IS IN.
REALLY A YOU KNOW IT'S A WOULD
NEEDS TREATMENT THAT I HAVE TO
WORK WITH THE D. A PUBLIC
DEFENDER AND JUDGES TO GET THEM
pTHEM AN APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT
WHICH PRESENTS CHALLENGES.
A BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE
IN FOR VERY SERIOUS CRIMES AND
IT'S NOT THAT EASY TO DO.
SO AND LOCALLY AND WE'RE TRYING
TO WORK WITH THEM.
YEAH BUT.
IT'S THE ISSUES I THINK THAT
ARISE EVERYWHERE WE WERE WORKING
ON A TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
FACILITY. HOUSE WORKING IN
SUPPORT OF HEALTH SOCIAL
SERVICES BUT. YOU KNOW ONCE WE
FIND A PLACE TO TO PUT IT
OPPOSITE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
PEOPLE THE NEIGHBORHOOD DON'T
DON'T CARE FOR THE PLACEMENT
LOCATION AND.
SO I I THINK THIS CAN ISSUES
WE'RE FACING ARE PROBABLY BEING
FACE AND OTHER. AND OTHER AREAS
BUT.
MONTEL FINANCER QUESTIONER ó
YOU ABSOLUTELY DID I I
APPRECIATED.
IN LIGHT OF AYE COMMENTS AYE
THAT BOTH OF YOU HAVE MADE IN
TERMS OF THE CRITICAL NEED IF
PREVENTION AND THE CHANGING
PERCEPTIONS OF HOW TO APPROACH.
I ISSUES WITHIN THE JAILS AROUND
VERY SOCIAL SERVICES EDUCATION.
I HEALTH CARE I THINK IF MY
COLLEAGUES I ANYWHERE IN THE
BUILDING HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
EVEN LISTEN OR THEY'RE ALL IT
COMMITTEES BUT. MY COLLEAGUES
HERE YOU'VE OFFERED SPECIFIC.
IDEAS FOR LEGISLATION PILOT
PROJECTS ARE BUDGET ISSUES TO
ADVANCE THE ISSUE. OF OF HOW TO
GAIN GROUND IN THE APPROACH FOR.
INCARCERATED AT INDIVIDUALS SO
AND CERTAINLY I ALWAYS THOUGHT
IF WE IF WE HAD LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN SUPPORT OF.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING HOUSING
FIRST
THAT MAYBE WE GET MORE RESOURCES
FOR HOUSING BECAUSE WHEN YOU
HAVE. SUPPORT FROM LAW
ENFORCEMENT IT WOULD.
IT WOULD GIVE US A LITTLE
FURTHER TO GET SOME OF THOSE
RESOURCES NOW WE HAVE TO FIND A
WAY TO GET THOSE RESOURCES.
CREATIVELY TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
TO.
HELP SERVE THAT PART OF THE
PROBLEM SO YES THAT WAS REALLY
HELPFUL.
I'M GOING TO MOVE TWO MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC WHO MAY BE HERE IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION AND.
GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE
DISCUSSION IT SEEMS THAT WE CAN
TAKE.
OF FOR BOTH OF OUR.
APPOINTEES AT THE SAME TIME SO
IF YOU WANNA STEP UP TO THE
MIKING GIVE YOUR NAME. AND.
WILL TAKE PEOPLE IN SUPPORT
FIRST.
AND BE BRIEF IF YOU COULD BUT.
MAKE YOUR POINT WELCOME.

SCHOOLS.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE OFFICE
OF CORRECTIONAL EDUCATION.

INSIDE ALL THIRTY FIVE PRISONS
IN THE STATE.

HERE UP FAMILY WISE I HAVE MY
PARTNER DANIELS AND GOLLY HERE.
AND MANY MEMBERS OF.
MY.
.
CDC ARE IN THE DIVISION OF
JUVENILE JUSTICE THAT I GRATEFUL
THEY'RE ALL HERE.
A JUST A BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
OF FO PURPOSES OF INTRODUCTION.
A FIRST TWO THIRDS OF MY CAREER
WERE IN THE FIELD OF NATIONAL
AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
PROGRAMMING CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND THAT CAREER TOOK
ME FROM THE. THE LOCAL LEVEL.
DIRECTING STUDENT PROGRAMS UC
BERKELEY HIGH ALL THE WAY TO OF
THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVELS
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OPPORTUNITY
TO SERVE IN THE. FIRST BUSH
ADMINISTRATION.
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE YOUTH
PROGRAMS IN HIS POINTS OF LIGHT
INITIATIVE AND THEN IN THE
CLINTON ADMINISTRATION NINE AND
HAD A HAND IN HELPING T. CREATE
AND ESTABLISH THE AMERICORPS
INITIATIVES AND MY LAST AND.
IN NATIONAL COMMITTEES SERVICE
PROGRAMMING WAS HEADING UP THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF SERVICE AND
VOLUNTEERISM OFFER GOVERNOR
DAVIS AND IN TWO THOUSAND AND
THREE I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO.
.
IN TWO CAREER OF SCI JUVENILE
JUSTICE WORKING WITH YOUTH
RESPONDING PREVIOUSLY TO OF
THEIR BETTER NATURES.
AND IN THIS CAREER ARE WORKING
WITH A MUCH MORE CHALLENGE SET
OF.
USE THAT WITH MUCH MORE
TROUBLESOME.
BEHAVIOR I WAS ON THE YOUTHFUL
OFFENDER PAROLE BOARD DOWN WHICH
IS BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL
ITERATIONS.
OVER THE YEARS.
AS A COMMISSIONER A AN
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE CHAIR
OF THE BOARD.
AND AT SOME POINT IN BETWEEN
THERE.
TOOK AWAY SOME PEOPLE DESCRIBE
MY OWN AMERICORPS EXPERIENCE
BECAME A PAROLE AGENT OF FOR
FIVE YEARS AT FIFTY ONE THROUGH
THE ACADEMY SUPERVISED USE ON
PAROLE FROM SACRAMENTO UP TO THE
OREGON BORDER.
AND THEN NGUYEN DJJ.
STATE SUPERVISION OF YOUTH.
WAS DEVOLVED TO THE COUNTY
LEVEL.
SERVED AS A PAROLE AGENT AND
OUR OWN WHICH CLOSE FACILITY AND
STOCKTON ASSISTING YOUTH DEVELOP
REENTRY PLANS AND SO FOR THE
PAST.
SEVEN MONTHS NOW I HAVE SERVED
AS THE ART DIRECTOR OF THE
DIVISION OF JUVENILE JUSTICE
AND.
IF YOU'LL HAVE IT I WOULD BE
HONORED TO CONTINUE TO SERVE IN
THAT CAPACITY.
THANK YOU.
VERY MUCH I THINK IF YOU'RE
PREPARED MISTER ROTH I WILL
START WITH YOU TO. THINK ABOUT
SURE.
A MIST OF ONE OF THE. THINGS I
NOTED APPARENTLY IN YOUR A
WRITTEN RESPONSES TO THE
COMMITTEE IS THAT. YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN PROMOTING A CHANGE
IN CULTURE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUVENILE JUSTICE.
FOCUSED ON.
A JUVENILE STRENGTHS IN
POSITIVE BEHAVIORS OPPOSED OTHER
THINGS HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO
ACCOMPLISH THAT.
I THINK ONE OF THE WAYS I WOULD
LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT SERVING
IN FACILITIES.
IN JUVENILE JUSTICE
HI IT'S YOUR YOUR YOUR SERVING
BEHIND BARS SO TO SPEAK AND SO
OFTEN TIMES YOU DO NOT HEAR
ABOUT THE SUCCESS STORIES. TIME
OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND BEING
ON THE BOARD AYE DOING RE TRUE
WORK.
LA WORK THAT I DO IN THE
COMMUNITY I HAVE COME ACROSS A.
QUITE A FEW YOUNG ADULTS WHO
HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED FROM DJJ.
AND ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THE
COMMUNITY UNFORTUNATELY WORK IN
THE FACILITIES YOU DON'T HEAR
ENOUGH ABOUT THE SUCCESS STORIES
TO REINFORCE THAT YOU KNOW YOUR.
YOUR WORK HAS PURPOSE YOUR LIFE
HAVE MEANING HAS MEANING THAT.
YOU SHOW UP FOR EVERY DAY AND
THAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE AN
IMPACT.
ON THE LIVES OF THE YOUTH AND.
RECENTLY A BILL WAS WAS WAS
PASSED THE HONORABLE DISCHARGE
BILL.
WHICH HAS YOU FELT ABLE TO COME
BACK TO THE BOARD OF JUVENILE
HEARINGS AND APPLY FOR AN
HONORABLE DISCHARGE. A AND
WITHOUT WE ANTICIPATE HEARING
LOTS MORE STORIES IF YOU
SUCCESSFUL IN THE COMMUNITY AND
PART OF THE OF THE ROLE THE
PARTY JUVENILE. I HEARINGS AS
WELL AS DIVISION IS LET'S
PUBLICIZE THOSE STORIES LET'S
BRING THE YOUTH BACK INTO THE
FACILITIES AND LET THE STAFF
KNOW THAT THEIR EFFORT TO PAY
OFF.
AND ALSO TO MOTIVATE OTHER USE
THAT.
INDEED CHANGES AS POSSIBLE AND
SO FRANKLY WHEN I TALK ABOUT
SUCCESS
AND CHANGING THE CULTURE SUCCESS
THAT'S ONE WOULD HUGE I THINK
CATALYST THAT CAN HELP BRING
THAT ABOUT. SO YOUR PLAN REALLY
ENTAILS COMMUNICATION.
A BIG PART OF IT YES.
THANK YOU.
A DOCTOR.
WITH RESPECT TO CDC ARE HOW
WOULD YOU RATE OUR
REHABILITATION EFFORTS TODAY.
I SAY THAT WE'RE MAKING GREAT
STRIDES COMPARED TO A FEW YEARS
AGO BECAUSE OF THE. THE
HEIGHTENED INTEREST FROM THE
GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE
WE'VE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL
FUNDING FOR. FOR MORE PROGRAMS.
OUR PROGRAMS HAVE GROWN
TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS.
SO WE'RE NOT PERFECT THAT WE'RE
DOING A LOT BETTER THAN THAN WE
WERE BEFORE.
AN A GRADE HEARING EDUCATORS SO
GREAT DAY THAT FOUR WOULD YOU
GIVE US ALL I'D LIKE TO SAY
WE'RE AT A WEDDING. BE.
ARE YOU THE KIND OF PROFESSOR
ALIKE.
ONE OF THE.
NOTES IN MY NOTES TALKS ABOUT
THE.
A.
FREE WILLIE FACED DIFFICULTY
THAT APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH
INMATES AND ROLLED IN
REHABILITATION PROGRAMS.
AND MAKING SURE THEY ACTUALLY
ATTEND THEM.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN
ACCURATE STATEMENT OR NOT BUT IF
IT IS CAN YOU.
ADDRESS THAT FORMING WHY IS THAT
A PROBLEM IN PRISON.
FULLER VARIOUS REASONS WHY
PEOPLE.
IN MADE STUDENTS DO NOT ATTEND
CLASS OFTEN IT'S BECAUSE THEY
MAY HAVE A HEALTH ISSUE. THERE
MAY BE A LOCKDOWN OR MAYBE FOG.
VARIOUS THINGS SUCH AS THOSE
BUT.
BUT THAT FOR THE MOST PART WE DO
HAVE A VERY HIGH ATTENDANCE RAID
IN IN THE PRISON IN THE CLASSES.
SO.
AS WE DO HAVE SOME WHO WHO MAY
NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL BECAUSE
THOSE THAT.
ARE BELOW A NINTH GRADE READING
LEVEL WE REQUIRE THEM TO ATTEND
SCHOOL.
SO THEY CAN WORK ON LITERACY
SKILLS AND WORKING TOWARD. A
HIGH SCHOOL EQUIVALENCY BUT THE
VAST MAJORITY OF.
ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN ENROLLED IN
SCHOOL.
WHAT SORT OF VERDANT EVALUATION
PROCESS?
DOES THE DEPARTMENT ENGAGE IN
TO.
A DETERMINE THE EFFECT ON
RECIDIVISM OF THE VARIOUS
REHABILITATION PROGRAMS THAT WE
HAVE.
ON THE BOOKS AND.
HAVE IMPLEMENTED IF THERE IS
ANY.
SO THE THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH
DOES CONDUCTORAS RECIDIVISM
STUDY.
AND THAT'S DONE ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS AND YOU'LL FIND THAT IN
THE.
IN THEIR STUDY.
OTHER THEY PUBLISH EVERY YEAR.
BUT THAT'S COME IS CALLED THE
OUTCOMES AND EVALUATIONS REPORT.
AND SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY LOOK
AT THE.
.
THE.
THE RATE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE A
RE OFFENDING.
A AND.
LAST YEAR THAT WAS FORTY SIX
POINT ONE PERCENT.
AS FAR AS THOSE WHO WERE
RETURNING.
SO THAT'S NOT UNDER MY PURVIEW
BUT IT IS DONE BY THE DEPARTMENT
LOOK AT RECIDIVISM WELL WITH
RESPECT TO SPECIFIC
REHABILITATION. PROGRAMS BECAUSE
EACH ONE CARRIES A COST.
AND HIS A LINE ITEM SOMEWHERE
WHETHER IT'S IN THE BIG BUDGET
OR THE SUB BUDGETS.
HAS THERE BEEN AN INDEPENDENT
ASSESSMENT OF THE VALUE IN TERMS
OF RECIDIVISM.
FOR EACH OF THE PROGRAMS
OPERATED BY THE DEPARTMENT IF
YOU KNOW.
AND IF NOT.
IF THERE HASN'T BEEN HUAYNA.
THERE HAVE BEEN NATIONAL STUDIES
ON RECIDIVISM.
SO IN TERMS OF MEAL WHAT WORKS
AS WE KNOW THAT THE. THE MORE.
THE THE GREATER THE EDUCATION
LEVEL SOMEBODY HAS.
WHILE THEY'RE INCARCERATED THE
LEAST LIGHT LESS LIKELY ARE TO
RECIDIVISM.
SO IN OTHER STUDIES SUCH AS THE
RAND STUDY AND. AND OTHERS.
BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THE
DEPARTMENT WE HAVE NOT GONE TO
THE DETAIL OF LOOKING AT WHAT'S
THE RECIDIVISM RATE OF SOMEBODY
WHO FINISHES A WELDING PROGRAM.
OR IN ONE OF OUR CONSTRUCTION
TRADES OR.
HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.
WE HAD DONE SOME STUDIES THAT
LOOK AT MORE THE COST BUT.
A FOUNDATION.
BUT SHOULDN'T WE AS A.
AS A STATE SHOULDN'T WE TAKE A
LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE SPENDING
MONEY ON TO DETERMINE WHETHER
THERE'S.
.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN TERMS OF
RECIDIVISM RECIDIVISM REDUCTION
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
SPECIFIC REHABILITATION PROGRAM
WHETHER IT'S WELDING.
A GROUP.
SO OR SOMETHING ELSE.
I THINK THAT AS I STATED EARLIER
THERE THERE ARE NATIONAL STUDIES
THAT WE CAN LOOK AT. SO WE WE
KNOW THAT IT DOES HAVE AN
IMPACT.
BUT.
THE SAME TIME.
IRAN.
AS.
WERE WERE ALWAYS OPEN TO LOOKING
AT DOING MORE STUDIES AND WE'RE
NOT WE HAVE A CLOSE THOSE DOORS
OBVIOUSLY BUT.
BUT THE IT'S DIFFICULT TO TAKE
ONE SPECIFIC PROGRAM AND AND DO
A STUDY JUST ON THAT BUT YOU
COULD PROBABLY GROUPS THEM
CORRECT.
AND BY GROUPING THEM YOU COULD
DETERMINE WHETHER THERE'S ANY
NOTICEABLE. IMMEASURABLE IMPACT
ON RECIDIVISM AND IF THE ANSWER
IS NO. THEN PERHAPS USING THE
RESEARCH AND. THE EXPERTISE THAT
YOU AND OTHERS HAVE DEVELOPED
OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WOULD HAVE
A BETTER OUTCOME CORRECT. RIGHT
AND THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WE
ALSO LIKE TO LOOK AT WHICH IS
NOT JUST RECIDIVISM BUT WHAT
ABOUT. THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
ARE LEAVING PRISON.
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY
GAINING EMPLOYMENT BASED ON THE
TRAINING THEY RECEIVED WHICH IS
A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK
AT IT.
WELL WITH RESPECT OF THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THAT
PROGRAM IN GENERAL HOW WOULD YOU
EVALUATE THE THE SUCCESS OF THAT
PROGRAM.
WELL ONE WAY TO VIOLATED IS JUST
THE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
ARE ROLLED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
THAT COMPLETE THE PROGRAM.
WE'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE HAVE FAITH AFTER THEY
LEAVE PRISON.
HOW MANY PEOPLE RE ENROLL TO
CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION ON THE
OUTSIDE?
AND.
.
SO.
THOSE ARE A COUPLE SIMPLE THINGS
THAT WE CAN DO. AS A PROGRAM
VENICE EXCESS.
I BELIEVE SO.
WELL LET ME TURN TO ONE FINAL
QUESTION MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND IT HAS TO
DO WITH OUR.
WITH WHETHER WE ARE TRAINING IN
THE CONTEXT OF REHABILITATION
WHETHER WE ARE TRAINING
INDIVIDUALS.
TO PERFORM.
TASKS
SKILLED TASKS FOR EXAMPLE.
OR OTHER JOBS.
FOR WHICH THERE ARE SUBSEQUENT
IMPEDIMENTS TO THEY'RE ACTUALLY
GETTING JOBS AND DOING THEM.
IN THIS IN OUT IN SOCIETY.
HAVE YOU TAKEN A LOOK AT THAT
DO YOU KNOW WHETHER ANYBODY IS
TAKING A LOOK AT THAT TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE
SPENDING TIME AND MONEY.
ON REHABILITATION EFFORTS
TRAINING INDIVIDUALS IN PRISON
TO PERFORM TASKS
FOR WHICH THERE IS A STRUCTURAL
IMPEDIMENT.
THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM DOING SO
ONCE RELEASED JUROR WHEN WE
DECIDED ON THE TWENTY DIFFERENT.
CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION
TRADES THAT WE OFFER WE
ACTUALLY.
A DIDN'T ANALYSIS WORKED WITH
THE.
WITH EDTA.
A AND.
THEY HAVE A LIST OF OF.
JOBS THAT ARE. NEEDED IN THE
COMMUNITY AND STATE.
WE ALSO KNOW THROUGH DIFFERENT
LICENSURE COMMITTEES AGENCIES
WHAT'S
WHAT'S POSSIBLE WAS NOT THERE
ARE CERTAIN FIELDS THAT.
THEY'RE NOT THE RIGHT FEELS TO
BE TRAINING AND SUCH AS THE
MEDICAL FIELD.
SO ARE.
ARAB PROGRAMS.
ALL THE PROGRAMS WE OFFER. ALLOW
FOR TRAINING.
IN JOBS WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY
EARN A JOB.
THE CONSTRUCTION TRADES
PRIMARILY.
COMPUTER TURRET TRAINING.
AND SO WE WOULD NOT OFFER
SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE GONNA
LEAVE AND THEN NOT FEEL TO GET A
JOB BECAUSE OF.
HEY.
THE LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXAMPLE OR CERTIFICATE
REQUIREMENTS.
OF GOOD THE ONLY TRADE THAT WE
OFFER THAT REQUIRES A LICENSURE
PER SE IS COSMETOLOGY.
AND WE'RE NOT HAVING TROUBLE
WITH WITH THAT AS WELL I MEAN
THEY CAN ACTUALLY EARN THEIR
THEIR COSMETOLOGY CERTIFICATION
WHILE THEY'RE IN PRISON. CAN
ONCE THEY'RE RELEASED CAN THEY
THEN TO PERFORM AS A
COSMETOLOGIST THAT THEY CAN AND
AND WE WE.
THERE ARE CERTAIN CRIMES THAT
DON'T ALLOW THAT BUT FOR THE
pPROBLEM WITH IT AND IF WE DID
WE
WOULDN'T OFFER THAT.
AS AN OPTION
SO IF AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
INCARCERATED TAKES A
REHABILITATION PROGRAM TO.
SECURE TRAINING IN SKILLS AS A
COSMETOLOGIST WHEN THAT
INDIVIDUAL LEAVES.
THERE'S NOT A STRUCTURAL
IMPEDIMENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL
OBTAINING WHATEVER THE LICENSES
OR CERTIFICATE IS TO PERFORM THE
SERVICE OUT AND IN THE
COMMUNITY.
AND YOU CAN RECEIVE THAT
LICENSURE WHILE THEY'RE THERE
THEY ACTUALLY TAKE THE TEST
WHILE. WHILE THEY'RE STILL.
INCARCERATED WILL NOT TO BELABOR
THIS BUT I WOULD BE VERY VERY
INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM YOU
AND CDC ARE IF THERE ARE OTHER
SKILLS FOR EXAMPLE.
THAT READILY LEND THEMSELVES TO
TRAINING AND REHABILITATION
PROGRAMS INSIDE OUR PRISONS.
THAT WOULD ALLOW INDIVIDUALS
ONCE TRAINED TO PERFORM
JOBS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE
NEEDED.
BUT WHERE THERE IS A STRUCTURAL
IMPEDIMENTS IS AS A LICENSURE
REQUIREMENT OR CERTIFICATE
REQUIREMENT.
THAT MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT
BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO DO
THAT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE
SUCCESS OF YOUR PROGRAM AND AND
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE COMING OUT THE DOOR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
MISTER VICE CHAIRMAN.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR I I
THOUGHT COUSIN TOLD YET SHE WAS
PROHIBITED. WHO EFFORTS WAS
ELECTED WE THAT WAS BROUGHT TO
US NAY SAID LOOK WE'RE TRAINING
PEOPLE TO DO THIS BUT ONCE THEY
GET OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE PRISON
THEY WERE UNABLE?
TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES OR
SOMETHING CHANGED SINCE I'M THAT
WERE WERE HAVING GREATER SUCCESS
BECAUSE OF JUST AND CONNECTIONS
WE HAVE AND THEY'RE ABLE TO COME
INSIDE THE PRISON.
DOES NOT A LARGE PROGRAM THAT WE
OFFER YEAH Y. GETS WAS LESS
ABOUT NOT HAVING THE
AVAILABILITY FOR THE PROGRAM
BUT.
THEY WERE IN PRISON THEREFORE
THEY COULD NOT PRACTICE THAT
TRADE SO YOU'RE SAYING.
FOR THE MOST PART THAT IS NOT
THE CASE BECAUSE I WAS I'VE BEEN
UNDER THAT ASSUMPTION FOR MANY
YEARS.
OKAY.
WE'RE GOOD WILL.
MISS SHOW GIVEN YOUR BACKGROUND
EDUCATION I'M INTERESTED TO
LEARN A BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR
PHILOSOPHY ON INMATE
REHABILITATION PROGRAMS.
MERE EDUCATOR CRACK THINK THAT'S
THAT'S BEEN. SOME OF THE
CONCERNS WE'VE HAD WITH SOME
THESE PROGRAMS OF COURSE WE NEED
TO.
YOU KNOW WORK ON THE THE ISSUES
THAT BROUGHT THEM TO PRISON
RIGHT DRUG TREATMENT MENTAL
HEALTH LACK OF EDUCATION NO
ABILITY TO MAKE A LIVING.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE THESE PROGRAMS
WE WILL MAKE SURE THEY'RE
EFFECTIVE SO WHEN THEY GET OUT
OF THE GOAL IS FOR THEM TO TURN
THEIR LIVES AROUND SO. RIGHT
WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ON ON JUST
THE PROGRAM IN GENERAL WE HOPE
THEY TURN THEIR LIVES AROUND
BEFORE THEY GET OUT.
YEAH THAT'S SAYS AS THE LITTLE.
AND IT'S A LITTLE EASIER MAYBE
TO TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND YOUR
HEAD OF PRISON IT'S HARDER WHEN
YOU COME BACK BACK OUT AND IF
YOU CARRY THE SAME THINGS WITH
YOU THAT BROUGHT YOU INTO
PRISON.
IT'S A LITTLE HARDER RIGHT.
WHEN THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT
THAT REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS ARE
EFFECTIVE.
THE WHAT ALTERNATIVE DO WE HAVE.
IF WE WILL ALLOW THEM JUST TO
SIT THERE AND AND DO NOTHING OR
WALK AROUND THE YARD ALL DAY
LONGER.
YEAH PLAY CARDS THAT'S NOT
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THEM IS
NOT GOING TO HELP. PROMOTE
PUBLIC SAFETY EITHER.
SO AS.
AS WE. WORK WITH THEM IN THE IF
YOU LOOK AT OUR POPULATION THE
PRIMARY POPULATION THAT WE WORK
WITH ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
LITERACY ISSUES.
THE BULK OF OUR OUR STUDENTS
INSIDE THE PRISON OR LEARN HOW
TO READ AND AND.
WORK TOWARD A HIGH SCHOOL
EQUIVALENCY.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY ARE
MOTIVATED TO MOVE INTO A CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. OR
EVEN COLLEGE.
AND WE'RE FINDING THAT ARE
COLLEGE PROGRAM IS GROWING
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST
COUPLE YEARS BECAUSE OF SENATE
BILL THIRTEEN NINETY ONE.
SO.
A I THINK HE E. WILL FIND AS YOU
VISIT THE PRISONS THAT. THE.
THE YARD CULTURE HAS CHANGED
WITH THOSE WHERE THERE ARE A LOT
OF REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS.
AND IT'S A SAFER PLACE FOR
OFFICERS TO. THE WORK.
AS A HAPPIER PLACE.
AND.
THERE THAT THE MOTIVATION TO
SUCCEED AND.
.
IS SPREADING FROM NO ONE INMATE
TO ANOTHER.
IT'S THE LOCAL THING TO TO BE AN
EDUCATION AS OPPOSED TO CAUSING
TROUBLE.
OKAY.
BUT HE SAID THAT. A LOT OF THEM
ARE ILLITERATE DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THE PERCENTAGE WOULD BE OF
PEOPLE IN PRISON THAT. CAN'T
READ OR WRITE.
I I CAN'T TELL YOU THE
PERCENTAGE OFF HAND BUT I CAN
TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE ABOUT A
THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT ARE
IN PROGRAMS WHERE THEY READ
BELOW THE NINTH GRADE LEVEL.
SO THEY'RE WORKING ON THOSE
LITERACY SKILLS.
WHILE.
SO IRVINE VIEW HAVE THESE
PROGRAMS AGAIN PART OF OUR
ISSUES WHAT'S THE REQUIREMENT
FOR THEM TO FOR
FILL THE PROGRAMS DO YOU.
TAKE ROLE IS THERE A TESTING
USER IS THERE SOME WAY TO TO
VERIFY THAT THEY SHOWED UP IN
THAT THE ACSI DEVELOPED SKILL
THAT WERE TRAIN THEM FOR.
YES SUCH A THREE CREDIT.
YOU'D FOR EARLIER RELEASE.
SO WHEN SOMEBODY IS
ENROLLED IN SCHOOL THERE ENTERED
INTO OUR.
ARE AT SYSTEM
IT'S CALLED SONGS STRATEGIC
OFFENDER.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY. IN
ATTENDANCE SYSTEM ON STEROIDS
WITH ALL KINDS OF OTHER.
COMPONENTS TO IT.
BUT IT ALSO HAS A A CASE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BUILT INTO IT.
SO ONCE ARE ENTERED INTO SONGS.
THE.
TEACHERS WILL ENTER THE
ATTENDANCE THOUGH ENTER
COMPLETIONS.
THEY'LL ENTER CERTIFICATIONS.
WE CAN SCAN HIGHSCHOOL
CERTIFICATES IN ANY TYPE OF
CERTIFICATIONS THAT THEY'VE
EARNED.
IN THERE SO IT MAIN IT IT
RETAINS A.
.
A PERMANENT RECORD FOR THEM TO
BE.
TO USED TO BE IS LATER.
SO. THE SYSTEM IS ALSO DESIGNED
WHERE. WHENEVER THEY CMPLETE A
COURSE.
IT'S ASSIGNED TO A MILESTONE
WILL REDUCE THAT DATE.
BROUGH SO IT'S VERY CRITICAL
THIS THE SYSTEM THAT WE USE.
AND KEEP TRACK OF THE
INFORMATION AS THEY GO THROUGH
THE PROGRAMS.
BARRIERS IN THE PRISONERS ARE
MORE MOTIVATED TO DO THESE
PROGRAMS NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY.
I HAVE NOW THEY MAY NOT OF HAD
EARLIER. RIGHT AT ME PROP FIFTY
SEVEN OBVIOUSLY HAS MADE A HUGE
IMPACT BUT EVEN THAT PRIOR. THAT
LEGISLATION BEFORE THAT IN A
PROP THIRTY SIX AND PROP FORTY
SEVEN.
HAVE HAVE CHANGED THE THE TOWN
ON THE YARD WHERE THERE.
THERE'S MORE HOPE PEOPLE THAT
THOUGHT THERE NEVER GONNA BE
GETTING OUT OF PRISON.
NOW SEE SOME OF THEIR AND WILL
THE CALLER'S SALLY'S.
GETTING OUT AND THEY'RE NOW.
BEING SUCCESSFUL IN AND.
.
NOW THERE'S HOPE AND SO THEY ONE
AND ROLE SO THEY CAN BE BECOME.
LIKE THERE.
I COLLEAGUES WHO OKAY GREAT OF
MR SUPPLE SO PROPERTY SEVEN I
THINK THE EXPECTATION IS THAT
THE POPULATION HAS INCREASED BY
TEN PERCENT OR SEVENTY.
A NEW INMATES.
ARE IS DJJ PREPARED FOR THAT
WHAT'S THE PLANETS BECAUSE SEEMS
LIKE IT'S A COST A LOT MORE TO
HOUSE A JUVENILE.
DETAIN KNOW PRISONER THEN AN
ADULT PRISONER WHICH WILL TALK
ABOUT THE SECOND.
THIS WAS THE RESULT OF THE THE
FEDERAL LAWSUIT WHICH WAS A FAR
REACHING LAWSUIT THAT LASTED
CLOSE TO.
TEEN YEARS AND TOUCHED
PRACTICALLY EVERY
NG THE DJJ DOES IN TERMS OF
SAFETY AND WELFARE AND
EDUCATION.
IN THE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR
TREATMENT PROGRAM.
AND IN THEM MENTAL HEALTH THAT.
A WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE
CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE.
CUTTING EDGE STATED THE OUR
REHABILITATIVE SERVICES I DON'T
SEE THAT AS A POST WITH A LONG
ARDUOUS PROCESS WHICH.
BOTH YOU KNOW THE COURTS AS
WELL AS.
THE DJJ WENT THROUGH MANY YEARS
AND DEVELOPING YOU KNOW THIS
CAPACITY WITH CAREFUL GUIDANCE
SO. WE HAVE.
WHAT WE CALL THE INTEGRATED
BEHAVIOR TREATMENT MODEL OF
WHICH HAS A NUMBER OF EVIDENCE
BASED PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO
ASSIST YOUNG ADULTS WITH
REDUCING? OF THE RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH BEHAVIORS THE
PROPHET TO DJJ IN THE FIRST
PLACE SO OVER THE YEARS IN THE
INVESTMENTS THAT THE STATE HAS
MADE WHICH IS HAS ALSO
CONTRIBUTED TO THE THE PRICE TAG
AS WELL WITH REGARD TO.
WHAT IT COST PER USE WE HAVE
THE CAPACITY BE ABLE TO TREAT
THE POPULATION THAT'S PROJECTED
DATA COMING IN AS A RESULT OF
FIFTY SEVEN?
SO IS THAT IT. SAYS HERE THAT
THE. PER OFFENDER COST US TWO
HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND
WHICH WAS.
TWENTY THOUSAND HIGHER THAN THE
PREVIOUS YEAR I'M ASSUMING IT'S
SO EXPENSIVE JUST BECAUSE
THERE'S SO FEW OF THESE INMATES
READY TO HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
IS THAT IS THAT WHITE SO MUCH
HIGHER RESERVED FOR REASON THAT
IS CERTAINLY THE PROBABLY THE
PRIMARY CONTRIBUTING FACTOR OVER
THE COURSE OF THE PAST SEVERAL
YEARS
I IS ONE OF OUR.
OF THE PREVIOUS.
PRISONERS APPEAR SET THAT
JUVENILE CRIME HAS GONE DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY AND THERE'S ALL
THIS GOING DOWN OR WE JUST ARE.
ARRESTING THEM.
AGGRESSIVE GOING DOWN THE.
JUVENILE CRIME HAS GONE DOWN I
CAN'T YOU KNOW YEAH WELL JUST
BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH HARDER TO
ARREST PEOPLE RIGHT THE WITH
PROP.
WITH YOU AB ONE I PROBABLY SEVEN
PROPERTY SEVEN THE CRIMES ARE
DIFFERENCE I'M CURIOUS. NOW WE
LET OUR WE ARRESTING LESS PEOPLE
BECAUSE THEY ARE BECOMING BETTER
CITIZENS OR JUST THE CRIMES TO
ARREST PEOPLE FOR IS IS A LOT.
HIGHER.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN A DRAMATIC
INCREASE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IN
TERMS OF DIVERSION PROGRAMS.
IN TERMS OF PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE
TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF YOUTH TO
PUT THEM AT RISK
OR BEHAVIORS THAT WOULD LAND IN
THE.
STEM.
THAT I WOULD HOPE ARE HELPING
TO PREVENT.
A LARGER NUMBER OF YOUTH AND
WITH ISSUES THAT ARE BEING DEALT
WITH THROUGH EDUCATION THROUGH
MENTAL HEALTH AS OPPOSED TO THE
JUVENILE JUSTICE.
TRACK OF LIKE TO HOPE THAT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S A BEACON OF THE
MAJOR BY HOPE THAT'S THE REASON
FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO. OUR
NUMBERS THOUGH HAVE GONE DOWN
NINE ALSO IN PART TO A LOT OF
LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE
INITIATIVES TO REALIGN WEAKENED
DID OUR FIRST.
THE FIRST REALIGNMENT OF THE.
SURE I'M SORRY.
AND YOU CAN ASK ME AGAIN IF I
GET GOING AGAIN.
S. B. EIGHTY ONE WAS SORT OF THE
FIRST REALIGNMENT OF THE KERNEL
JUSTICE SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA IN
RECENT HISTORY AND THAT HAD IT.
THAT THE NINE SEVEN A SEVENTY
OFFENDERS IN A SENSE THE LESS
SERIOUS AND VIOLENT OFFENDERS
WORK. WHO COUNTIES WERE NO
LONGER ABLE TO SEND TO DJJ AND
THAT?
DRAMATICALLY A DECREASE THE
POPULATION ARE CONSEQUENTLY
LEAVING DJJ OUGHT TO TREAT THE
MOST SERIOUSLY MENTALLY AND
BEHAVIORALLY CHALLENGED YOU.
THAT'S USED IN THE THE POP THE
PRISON OUR THE D. EXACTLY IS
THAT THE HOW. THE REP WILL THIS
WAS A DEAL WHEREBY WE HAVE A
APPROXIMATELY SIX HUNDRED AND
TWENTY YEARS. AND BACK IN THE
NINETEEN NINETIES AT OUR HIGHEST
WAS CLOSE TO ELEVEN THOUSAND SO
THAT CONTRIBUTED TO IT DRAMATIC
REALIGNMENT THE JUVENILE JUSTICE
POPULATION. AGAIN LEAVING DJJ
WITH THE MOST CHALLENGED YOUTH
TO TO DEAL WITH THE COUNTIES
HAVE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TREAT.
THE LEVELS OF SERVICE
AND THE BAA LEVELS OF.
OF OF OF PERSONNEL AND
CONTRACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT
WERE ALL CAREFULLY NEGOTIATED
THROUGH.
THE FEDERAL LAWSUIT WITH THE
JUDGES AND THE SPECIAL MASTERS
THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THAT SO
YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS AN ECONOMY OF
SCALE. THE FEWER USE THEM MORE
EXPENSIVE THIS.
YEAH.
SO IF YOU'VE GOT SIX HUNDRED
PLUS OF THE MOST DIFFICULT
OFFENDERS.
WITH ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE
BEEN MADE IN CALIFORNIA.
HOW ARE THEY RESPONDING OR ARE
THEY MORE OPEN TO TREATMENT DO
YOU SEE?
THE SAME THING WAS CHAU SEEN AS
FAR AS THERE'S MORE HOPE WHAT'S
WHAT'S CALLED THE CULTURE NOW
AND IN THIS BECAUSE THESE
FACILITIES.
WHATEVER CERTAINLY IF YOU SPEAK
TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD BEEN FOR
THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY.
WHO HAVE COME IN AND AND
VISITED A NIGHT AT?
ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT.
THE MENTORING PROGRAMS WHICH
BRINGS.
AS I MENTIONED WITH THE.
O'DONNELL DISCHARGED ROUTE TO
BRING INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN
A PART OF A TWO WAY OR DJJ IN
THE PAST INTO THE FACILITIES TO
BE ABLE TO TALK TO INSPIRED THE
YOUTH.
VILBEL SPEAK A CHANGE THAT IT'S
IT'S NOT THE SAME THAT CERTAINLY
THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE HOPE.
IS LESS VIOLENT AND THAT OTHER
FAR MORE PROGRAMS THAN NINE THAN
PREVIOUSLY.
OKAY GREAT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
BERRYHILL.
THANK YOU OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
BEEN VERY THOROUGH YOU HAVE ONE
NO ONE QUESTIONS HIS OF SUPPLE.
OTHERS WHO TWO YEARS DEMAND FOR
WORKERS AND THE CONS A
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN
CALIFORNIA.
HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHICH
COURSES YOU OFFER AND ARE YOU
LOOKING TO EXPAND INTO ONE'S IT
SHOWS STRONG EMPLOYMENT GROWTH?
THE ESSAY QUESTION
HITLER WAS PLEASES SEE YOU OFFER
SEVERAL CAREER TECHNICAL
EDUCATION CLASSES.
BOSE COUP CONCERN WHILE YOU'RE
THERE WEREN'T ANY CONSTRUCTION
RELATED FIELDS LIKE THEY HAVE
CORRECTIONS HERE FOLSOM.
ACTUALLY WEEK WE DO HAVE TO
LABOR PROGRAMS ONE AT OUR
NORTHERN COMPLEX AS WELL AS
ANOTHER ONE IN VENTURA. AND GO
ONE OF THOSE IS IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE.
CALPE I A
AND THE REMARKABLE PROGRAMS
THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF THE REHAB
WORK AT OUR FACILITY AND VENTURA
AND I.
POINT AND PARTICIPATED IN A
GRADUATION THERE AND THE YOUTH.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL
LABOR UNIONS ARE GETTING THE
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION AND I
ACTUALLY EASE AND.
TOOL BAGS UPON THEIR RELEASE
AND ARE LEARNING HOW TO
WELL DIDN'T DO ELECTRICITY AND
ANY.
ANY NUMBER OF.
OF OTHER.
OTHER TRADES IN THE REMARKABLE
THING ONE OF OUR BIG CHALLENGES
AS AS MOST OF THE YOUTH WHO COME
TO US THERE.
PRETTY MUCH SELF IDENTIFY AS A
GANG MEMBER A CRIMINAL AND THEY
DON'T HAVE MUCH PROSPECT BOTH IN
TERMS OF PERHAPS THEIR FAMILIES
AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY THAT
THEY COME FROM.
A LIFE OTHER VAN THAT PERHAPS
THEY'RE GOING TO END UP IN
PRISON AND A HUGE PART OF OUR
JOB IS TO HELP THEM BE ABLE TO.
EXPLORE.
ANOTHER IDENTITY FOR THEMSELVES
AND A DIFFERENT PATH THAT THEY
COULD TAKE GOING BACK INTO THE
COMMUNITY AND RECENTLY WAS
DURING THE PROGRAM INVENTOR AND
THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN WHOM I HAD
KNOWN FOR AWHILE WHEN I WAS ON
THE BOARD. AND I HAD BEEN
PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME AND HAD
A HARD TIME.
BENEFITING FROM THE A PROGRAMS
HAVING IT TAKE AND I WAS DURING
THE LABOR PROGRAM AND HERE'S A
GUY WITH A WELDER'S YOU KNOW
WATERS MASK ON AND.
WHO WALKED BY AND HE'S A LOW TO
ME AND? I SAID HELLO AND.
WHAT A COUPLE MORE STEPS IN THE
PAUSE AND TURNED AROUND AND AND?
CHAD DO WHAT WHAT DO YOU DO YOU
CAN YOU CAN YOU DO IT AND WHAT
HAPPENED.
AND HE SAID WELL I FOUND MYSELF
MR SUPPLENESS OF REALLY WHO'S
THAT AND HE SAID I'M A WELDER
NOW.
AND HE'S NOW RETURN TO THE
COMMUNITY HAS A.
POSITION IN THE.
THE TRADE SO I THINK THEY PLAY
A CRITICAL ROLE AND I WOULD LIKE
TO BRING EVEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES
LIKE THAT TO THE OF.
pHAVE THOSE PROGRAMS OUT THERE
NOW MY AGAINST MY* WOULD YOU
BE.
.
IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT WE
EXPAND THOSE PROGRAMS PLAYS LIKE
PINE GROVE WHEN MY DISTRICT.
SO THEY ALL HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY WHAT PINE GROVE.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITIES UP THERE AS WE
SPEAK.
IN TERMS OF FIRE FIGHTING
SKILLS EACH ONE OF.
THE TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT THEY
GO THROUGH THE NOW RECEIVE
ACTUAL CAL FIRE CERTIFICATION.
IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THEM.
YOU KNOW ALL THE MORE.
YOU KNOW REALISTIC THAT PERHAPS
THEY COULD PURSUE FIREFIGHTING
CAREERS.
WHEN THEY LEAVE WE ALSO HAVE
COLLEGE EDUCATION PROGRAMS
PROFESSOR TAUGHT A IN PERSON
COLLEGE EDUCATION PROGRAMS
RECENTLY.
THE.
THE THE STAFF IT TOWN THAT FIRE.
CAMP ALSO THOUGH RAISED THE
POSSIBILITY WHICH YOU'RE
SUGGESTING NAM AS THEY HAVE
PERHAPS ANOTHER FIRE CAMPS A
LABOR CREWS YOU KNOW THAT AREN'T
GOING UP THERE TO PERFORM THE
FIREFIGHTING FUNCTION BUT ARE
ALSO HELPING WITH THE IN CAMP.
MECHANICS AND AND OTHER TYPES OF
TRADES AND I THINK THAT'S AN
INTERESTING POSSIBILITY.
WELL YOU DON'T THINK YOU THAT.
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU MISTER BERRYHILL.
MISTER MONICA.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR JOIN MY
COLLEAGUES IN THINKING YOU BOTH
FOR YOUR SERVICE AND.
YOU SOME QUICK QUESTIONS.
PRODUCTOR CHOATE IN TERMS OF
THE.
DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS
COULD YOU COMMENT ON.
WORK WITH OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS
NON PROFITS ENGAGED IN THE ARTS
OR. OTHER.
HELPING TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS
BASED ON RACER PASSED GANG
IDENTIFICATION.
YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
INTERACTION WITH SOME OF THOSE
PROGRAMS AND MORE YOUR OWN
PHILOSOPHY IN COMMITMENT TO
WORKING WITH THEM.
SO YOU'RE.
YOU'RE PROBABLY REFERRING TO
WHAT WE HAVE INSIDE OF.
CCR IS THE.
THE INMATE.
ARMED WITH THE CON INMATE
LEISURE TIME ACTIVITY GROUPS NOW
THE CALM IN MAY ACTIVITY GROUPS.
AND MOST OF THOSE PROGRAMS ARE
VOLUNTEER BASED AND THEY ARE
UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE
DIVISION OF IT ALL INSTITUTIONS.
THERE ARE SOME OF THEM THAT OVER
THE PAST HREE YEARS. HAVE BEEN
SOMEWHAT UNDER MY PURVIEW IN
THAT THEY'VE BEEN. AND UNDER THE
INNOVATIVE GRANT PROGRAM.
AND THE THE END OF A GRANT
PROGRAM ESSENTIALLY WE REALIZE
THAT.
THAT DOES A LOT OF THE GREAT
PROGRAMS WERE ISOLATED SOME OF
THE PRISONERS THAT WERE.
NEAR. METROPOLITAN AREAS LIKE
SAN QUENTIN OR SOLANO.
AND THEY HAD ALL THE THE GOOD
PROGRAMMING GOOD VOLUNTEERS
COMING AND.
SO THEY HAVE A GRANT PROGRAM WAS
AN INCENTIVE TO SENSUALLY PAY
FOR VOLUNTEERS TO.
I INCENTIVIZE THEM TO GO TO
OUTLYING AREAS.
SUCH AS BLOOD CALIFORNIA OVER
CALIPATRIA REPUBLICAN DAY.
AND
AND PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICES.
WITH THE IDEA THAT THEY WOULD.
DO THAT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS
DEVELOPER AND AN INTERNAL OR OF
A COMMUNITY NETWORK OF
VOLUNTEERS SO THEY CAN THANK
CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS.
SO WERE NOW MOVING INTO OUR
FOURTH YEAR OF DOING THE
INNOVATIVE GRANTS WE HAVE A
COUPLE HUNDRED.
OF THESE THESE GRANTS ARE GOING
ON.
A SOME OF THEM ARE.
DUPLICATED BECAUSE THEY MAY BE
IN MORE THAN ONE PRISON.
BUT.
IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL VERY
WELL RECEIVED BY NOT ONLY THE
THE IN MAY STUDENTS BUT BUT ALSO
THE WARDEN AND AND THE CUSTODY
STAFF.
HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THIS
PROGRAM BECAUSE.
IT THE LIKE LIKE MANY
REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS IT
LOWERS THE.
ATTENTION ON THE YARDS AND IN A
CREATES OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS
YOU MENTIONED WHERE. THEY MIGHT
BE DOING THEATER ARE.
TOGETHER AND WE HAVE MEMBERS
FROM TWO DIFFERENT GANGS THAT
ARE WORKING TOGETHER AND.
AND WHERE THEY DIDN'T USE TO
TALK TO EACH OTHER NOW THEY'RE.
THEY'RE NOT ONLY.
OF DOING THE PLAY TOGETHER BUT
THEY'RE THEY'RE TALKING AND AND
CRY NICHE ON EACH OTHER'S
SHOULDERS IF YOU WILL.
YEAH IN THOSE ARE CERTAINLY THE
MODELS THAT I THINK OFFER.
HOPE BEEN ON SOME OF THE TOOLS
FOR TRANSITION THAT GO BEYOND
EVEN JUST CONCRETE JOBBER SKILLS
TRAINING BIT NAM. HELPING TO
DEVELOP A NEW A NEW WAY OF
THINKING IF I WILL.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THEN
FOR MR SUPPLE THE THANK YOU
ADDRESS THIS ARM RATHER
THOROUGHLY BUT THE.
THE REDUCTION IN IN JUVENILE.
DETENTION.
AT IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THAT'S
LINKED TO THE SUCCESS OF.
MAYBE A COMBINATION OF.
REALIGNMENT NINE 47-57 AND MORE
RESOURCES AND I'M KIND OF THE
PREVENTION SIDE OF TRYING TO
INTERVENE. WITH THAT RISK USE
EARLIER IS THAT WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
.
ARE WE EXPERIENCING THE BENEFITS
OF.
SOME OF THE STATE'S.
DECISIONS OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS.
IF I CANNOT SPEAK SPECIFICALLY
IN TERMS OF CITING EVIDENCE THAT
THAT ACTUALLY IS THE CASE IT'S
ONLY THROUGH.
I'M KIND A QUALITATIVE
UNDERSTANDING IN MY OWN IN IRAQ
IS IN IN THE COMMUNITY WORKING
RE ENTRY AS A PATROL AGENT AND
SEEN.
A REALLY UNIQUE EXPLOSION OF A
MOVEMENT OUT THERE.
TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON A TRYING
TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE BEFORE THEY
YOU KNOW MAKE THEIR FIRST.
BAD DECISION ON OR BEFORE THE
DECISION TO BECOME TOO SERIOUS
THAT THERE ARE INTO THE JUVENILE
JUSTICE. SYSTEM INTO DELINQUENCY
COURT ON SO I THINK THAT.
I THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE
CONNECTION BETWEEN JUST THE
AMOUNT OF ENERGY ATTENTION AND
OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE NOW
TRYING TO ADDRESS.
YOUNG PEOPLE AT A YOUNGER AGE
THAT WE'RE STARTING TO US TO SEE
AN IMPACT THEIR.
AND I THINK JUST TO CAPTURE
WE'VE HEARD FOLLOW. BOTH OF YOU.
NAM IN THE EARLIER PANEL. A DATA
SHOWING A REDUCTION IN
RECIDIVISM BOTH ADULT AND USE.
VIOLATIONS THAT SEEMS TO BE.
RELIABLE DATA AT THIS POINT IS
THAT ACCURATE.
AND WILL WE WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK TOWARD THAT. ONE OF THE
THINGS I'M PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED IN IN ADDITION TO
PAYING ATTENTION OBVIOUSLY TO
LOWERING RECIDIVISM.
HI IS TAKING A LOOK POSITIVE
OUTCOMES AS WELL IN TRACKING THE
THE STRIKES IN OTHER WORDS YOU
KNOW HOW MANY THE YOUNG PEOPLE
RETURNING TO THE COMMUNITIES ARE
GETTING DIPLOMAS. ARE GETTING
JOBS ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN
THEIR COMMUNITY ARE SERVING A
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS OR
WHAT HAVE YOU AND.
THE MORE ATTENTION WE PAY TO THE
STRENGTHS AND BUILDING UP THE
STRENGTHS.
WOULD PROBABLY SEE THAT YOU
KNOW THAT'S WHERE TIME ENERGY
AND ATTENTION WILL GO AND
CONSEQUENTLY WOULD ALSO SEE A
CONTINUED REDUCTION RECIDIVISM.
AGAIN I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH
FOR YOUR WORK HERE CERTAINLY ON
THE FRONT LINES AND WE
APPRECIATE THE.
WORK YOU DO ON THE SUCCESSES
THAT YOU'VE SHARED WITH US TODAY

WHO HAS CONCERNS ABOUT
DISMANTLING OF.
A A TYPE OF EDUCATIONAL
FRAMEWORK PROGRAM DO YOU COULD
YOU JUST COMMENT BRIEFLY ON THAT
SO I CAN MAKE SURE THE RECORD
REFLECTS ADEQUATELY. SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION AS WE MOVE TOWARDS
CLOSURE.
OKAY.
I IN MY CAPACITY AS THE DIRECTOR
OF DRP.
I'VE ONLY WORKED WITH WITH
MISTER COSTA WHO WROTE THE

THE THE SYSTEM THAT MR CASA
REFERENCES IN HIS LETTER.
WE HAVE ENROLLED MORE THAN THREE
THOUSAND STUDENTS IN OUR CURRENT
PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES ARE
INMATES WITH EXPANDED IN
CRITICAL EDUCATIONAL AND
REHABILITATIVE OPPORTUNITIES.
