1 JUSTICE ADVISORY COUNCIL OF THE PIKES PEAK REGION JAIL UTILIZATION PLAN June 2004 FURTHER INFORMATION Henry Sontheimer, Criminal Justice Planner El Paso County (719)

2 OVERVIEW The Justice Advisory Council of the Pikes Peak Region asserts and affirms that the County s jail facilities are an important and integral part of the local criminal justice process. The jail represents the most visible element of the sanctions imposed by the courts and certainly the most restrictive of such sanctions. The jail is used for both pre-trial inmates and sentenced local offenders. To enhance public safety and to operate safely for both staff and inmates, the jail should operate at or below operational capacity limits as determined by the Sheriff s Office. The Council recognizes the leadership and vision of the Board of County Commissioners in moving forward with new jail facilities. If these facilities are to be a long term solution to past overcrowded conditions and are to remain within operational capacities, the leaders of the criminal justice community recognize that jail space must be used prudently. In developing this Plan the Council acknowledges the diverse interests of policy makers and practitioners in the Criminal Justice Community and that the Council, through this Plan, cannot dictate what each person or element of the criminal justice system must do to ensure its success. However, by asserting a Statement of Principles, Benchmarks, Assets and Remediation the Council seeks to gain consensus through this Plan, to continually evaluate it, and to provide a legacy for future leaders of the community.

3 THE PLAN The Jail Utilization Plan consists of four elements: Statement of Principles, Assets, Benchmarks and Remediation. The Statement of Principles is a set of declarative statements addressing the use of the jail and the many alternatives to jail confinement which are available and in use in the El Paso Criminal Justice Community. Assets are resources available to the County to assist in meeting the goals of the Plan. Examples include the existing jail facilities, the work release contract to house jail prisoners off-site, the County s Personal Recognizance Bond Program, and other alternatives to jail incarceration such as probation and electronic monitoring. Benchmarks are quantitative criteria used to measure conformity with the Plan. An example might be annual jail population targets which, if adhered to, will allow the jail to meet the County s needs for the life of the jail bonds. Benchmarks should take into account factors which are likely to impact demand for jail space, such as County population growth, local crime rates, and any major legislation or policy changes related to the criminal justice system. All benchmarks will be continually monitored and assessed and periodically reported. Remediation is a process to bring principals in the criminal justice system together to discuss and remedy, where possible, aberrations in benchmarks which lead to an increase in the jail population above expected norms.

4 I. Statement of Principles This Statement of Principles is a set of declarative statements addressing the use of the jail and the many alternatives to jail confinement which are available and in use in the El Paso Criminal Justice Community. 1. The purpose of the jail is to promote public safety and serve the criminal justice system by enabling the County and the Sheriff to meet their statutory obligations regarding the detention, safekeeping, and confinement of lawfully committed persons and prisoners. 2. The purpose of the Jail Utilization Plan is to: establish the principles underlying the functioning of the jail; promote cooperative efforts by all key criminal justice agencies to manage the jail population; establish benchmarks for and monitor jail population growth; and, define how such benchmarks will be maintained. 3. The expanded jail ought to meet the County s needs at least until the construction bond is paid off (target date = 2027). The new jail space should be opened incrementally according to a schedule consistent with the Jail Utilization Plan. 4. Any net revenue from new outside contracts to house prisoners should be used to pay off the jail bonds early, rather than going into the County General Fund. Contracts with outside agencies for jail space should be entered into only after local jail space needs are met. 5. The operational capacity of the jail at each stage of the Jail Utilization Plan must be defined, recognized, and maintained to promote the safe operation of the jail facilities. 6. A full continuum of available sanctions is required to allow for appropriate dispositions which address sentencing goals such as offender accountability and public safety. 7. Proactive approaches such as prevention programs and substance treatment help reduce future demand for jail space. 8. The criminal justice system should identify and divert special populations from the jail by working with public and private agencies to offer appropriate services in a non-jail setting. 9. Work release inmates should be housed in a setting which is consistent with their minimum security status and minimizes possible disruptions to jail operations. 10. Empirical methods should be used to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of the jail usage plan and to provide regular feedback to system users and the public.

5 II. Assets This Plan recognizes that the El Paso County Criminal Justice community is one which has labored over the years to establish communication and cooperation among its various elements and actors. This Plan would not be possible without the spirit of cooperation and mutual problem solving exhibited through the many years the Council has existed and worked to improve the delivery of criminal justice services to the community. Indeed, such cooperation and mutual problem solving is the principal Asset to this Plan. The following Assets are additional examples of resources available to the County to assist in meeting the goals of the Plan. County jail facilities: Metro, CJC, MSU Contracted (off-site) work release and transitional work release capacity County PR Bond program Commercial bail bond programs Justice Advisory Council Technical assistance available from NIC Jail diversion programs (e.g., Drug Court, Fast Track, Juvenile Diversion) Electronic monitoring sanction alternatives Prevention programs (e.g., Joint Initiatives) Rehabilitation programs (e.g., Gateway Through the Rockies, Mental Health Aftercare grant program) Treatment providers (e.g., PPMH, EPC Health Dept., AA, NA) Criminal Justice Planning Attached to this Plan is a chart identifying a list of jail alternative programs currently available in El Paso County. This list will be updated as required.

6 III. Benchmarks The Benchmarks are quantitative criteria used to measure conformity with the Plan. An example might be annual jail population targets which, if adhered to, will allow the jail to meet the County s needs for the life of the jail bonds. Benchmarks will take into account factors which are likely to impact demand for jail space, such as County population growth, local crime rates, and any major legislation or policy changes related to the criminal justice system. All benchmarks will be regularly monitored and assessed, with periodic reports provided to the Council. Benchmarks should capture current practices to the extent that they can be measured. Benchmarks also will be monitored in order to document any discretionary changes in policies and practices which increase the demand for jail space. Benchmarks include but are not limited to: Annual jail population targets based on maintaining current incarceration rates for the aggregate jail population and for each jail subpopulation (pretrial, sentenced, DOC backlog, etc.); Maintaining the current level of PR bond releases (6% to 7% of jail admissions); Maintaining the current proportion of work release sentences (about 45% of all jail sentences); Maintaining current law enforcement policies and practices which impact demand for jail space; Maintaining current prosecutorial policies and practices which impact demand for jail space; and, Maintaining current sentencing policies and practices which impact demand for jail space.

7 Remediation is not enforcement. IV. Remediation A. THE REMEDIATION PROCESS Remediation is a process to remedy an increase in the jail population above expected Benchmarks and to address discretionary changes in agency policies which increase the demand for jail space. It assumes that policy makers have an interest in maintaining a safe and secure jail whose population remains at or below operational capacity limits as determined by the Sheriff s Office. Principals in this process are the JAC Executive Committee, policy makers, and the County Criminal Justice Planner. The Remediation process recognizes and affirms the autonomy of the various agencies and courts and their policy makers. It also recognizes that the basis to remedy jail overpopulation is the willingness of the principals to address this issue cooperatively. Finally it recognizes that the JAC Executive Committee acts as a facilitator to address overpopulation and is not an agency of higher authority. The process is based upon continuous monitoring of the jail population by the County Criminal Justice Planner. Such information will be provided to all policy makers at least twice a year. The process is designed as an early warning system which will signal a rising trend in the jail population rather than waiting for a crisis to develop. It recognizes that there is a set of short term responses which the Sheriff can use to provide immediate relief of overcrowding while the JAC Executive Committee works to facilitate a more lasting response. When there are deviations from the Benchmarks of at least three months duration, the Criminal Justice Planner will inform the involved policy makers. Those policy makers should take steps under their control to address the situation and inform the JAC Executive Committee of same. If the situation is not rectified within one month of notification by the Criminal Justice Planner, the JAC Executive Committee will convene to discuss the situation, facilitate the interests of the policy makers involved, and attempt to rectify the situation. B. SHORT-TERM REMEDIES This Plan recognizes the need for short term remedies to respond to spikes in the jail population by taking certain steps which are either under the sole control of the Sheriff or which may require the approval of the Judiciary or the District Attorney. These short term measures are listed below: Priority 1. Remedies which are under the Sheriff s control: Cancel existing contracts with other agencies to house their inmates. Transfer DOC backlog inmates to other counties. Purchase additional work release beds from ComCor. Grant trustee status to additional inmates to increase potential earned time.

8 Priority 2. Remedies which include a change in place of confinement and require Judicial and/or DA approval: Contract with existing Community Corrections providers to house certain inmates (e.g., females). Release some sentenced inmates on EHM/GPS (Electronic Home Monitoring) program to finish sentence on home detention. Priority 3. Remedies which include release from custody and require Judicial and/or DA approval: Reinstate automatic PR Bond release program. Inmates charged with certain lesser offenses who have low bond amounts and no other pending charges, warrants, or holds are granted a PR Bond and released without further judicial review. Grant PR Bond to pre-trial inmates who received favorable recommendations from Court Services staff but were not approved by the courts. Grant PR Bond to some pre-trial inmates based on relaxed screening criteria established by Court Services (DV or violent offenders not eligible). Some releases may require inmate to be on EHM/GPS. Release some sentenced inmates who have served the nearly all their sentence (98%, 96%, etc.). Offenders serving mandatory sentences or sentences for certain crimes (e.g., DV, violent) not eligible. C. FUNDS TO FACILITATE THE REMEDIES The Sheriff may need funds to facilitate certain of the remedies such as housing inmates in other counties or paying for home monitoring of certain inmates. The County Commissioners, in concert with the Sheriff, should determine how much annual funding is required and should provide for that funding in the County budget.

9 Acknowledgments The jail utilization plan was developed by the Jail Alternatives Committee of the Justice Advisory Council. In formulating the plan, the Committee drew on the collective expertise of its members and on input from many local criminal justice practitioners. Our thanks are extended to all who participated in the process. Members of the Jail Alternatives Committee Thomas A.
