Vote: Passed 6:0 (Absent: Marla O. Anderson) V. Scheduled Matters A. Support collaboration with the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Community Recidivism Reduction Grant Funding for FY

4 Management Analyst (MA) III Marisa Fiori reported that last year the County of Monterey received $100,000 through the Community Recidivism Reduction grant from BSCC for the provision of community recidivism and crime reduction services to adult and juvenile populations. The funding was distributed to four non-governmental service providers, with a maximum cap of $25,000 per provider. This year, Monterey County s allocation is $50,000 for the same purpose. The BOS must submit a letter to BSCC confirming interest in receiving the funding and indicating the CCP s collaboration by September 30th. Public Comment: A public comment was received from Tom Lee. Board Comments: Chief Assistant District Attorney Brannon recommended that the funding be directed to the same service providers. However, it appears that the law is interpreted the maximum allocation of $25,000 to be across both fiscal years. BSCC Chair Linda Penner reported that the legislature was cleaning-up the language for the mandate, as it was still ambiguous. Director Ray Bullick recommended distributing the funding based on program outcomes. MA II Fiori responded that the mandated outcomes for the first reporting cycle, from December 5, 2014 to December 31, 2015 are due to BSCC by January 2016, and will only include the number of clients served and type of services rendered, as mandated by the grant. Motion: A motion was made by Elliot Robinson, seconded by Berkeley Brannon to support collaboration with the BOS for the BSCC Community Recidivism Reduction Grant Funding for FY Vote: Passed 6:0 (Absent: Marla O. Anderson) B. Introduction of the BSCC Chair and Field Representative BSCC Chair Linda Penner and Field Representative Ricardo Goodridge were introduced to the CCP. They have been attending CCP meetings throughout the State to better understand local programming. Chair Penner was previously the Chief Probation Officer (CPO) for the County of Fresno, and also the President of the Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC). She gave an overview of Public Safety Realignment; each County has a different approach to realignment and are spending the allocations according to their local plans. CCP board members inquired about Proposition 47 savings, increasing housing services, and medi-cal coverage for residential drug treatment. C. Update on Monterey County Adult Day Reporting Center (ADRC) Services MA III Fiori gave an update on ADRC services: The three-year agreement for GEO Reentry Services, LLC (formally BI) to provide services to adult offenders participating in the Adult Day Reporting Center (ADRC) program was unanimously approved by the BOS on June 23rd. At the same meeting, the BOS directed Chief Parsons to prepare a preliminary report on the feasibility of a Probation-run Day Reporting Center model as an alternative to the current vendor-managed model. Probation has initiated the research and is planning to present its findings to the BOS. GEO Reentry Services has purchased a van to provide transportation to ADRC participants from outside the Salinas city limits. 2

5 Public Comment: A public comment was received from Elliot Ruchowitz-Roberts. Board Comments: Colleen Beye inquired if transportation was only provided in South County, and if data on the phases of treatment provided at ADRC could be included in the AB 109 Statistical Data Report. Chief Parsons responded that GEO Reentry Services was providing transportation wherever there was a need, and that the requested data on ADRC could be provided to Ms. Beye. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 4:09 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Elizabeth Balcazar, Administrative Secretary Monterey County Probation Department 3

Effective probation supervision utilizing evidence based practices indicate that those with a score of moderate to high are most likely to benefit from rehabilitative services. The individuals who score in the very high range for re-offense are closely supervised and monitored by a team of 2 probation officers, whose positions are dedicated to assuring compliance with terms and conditions and searching for those who have absconded. 2 2

17 Introduction AB109 PRCS and 1170(h) Second Year Evaluation Analysis California s Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 (AB109) transferred supervision and funding for managing lower-level offenders from the State to local counties. Monterey County implemented the provisions of the Act on October 1, Beginning on October 1, 2011, the Monterey County Probation Department began Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) of offenders entering the County from State Prison, and the Superior Court of California, Monterey County, began sentencing under the provisions of 1170(h) of the California Penal Code. In 2014, a report was produced on the first year cohorts of PRCS individuals and 1170(h) individuals. This current report presents information on the second year cohorts of these populations ( ), and draws comparisons to the earlier report. Methodology Offenders released from prison and sent to Monterey County from October 1, September 30, 2013 were identified and individually tracked for one year following start of their supervision. Individuals convicted of an 1170(h) and sentenced to County Jail were also tracked during this same period. In addition, demographic, assessment, and service utilization data were tracked on an individual-level for this time period. Analysis was limited to the data on events occurring from 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2014 for the PRCS and 1170(h) cohorts. Data included sentence and case data from the Courts; demographic, risk and needs assessment, and mandatory supervision data from Probation; conviction dates and type from the District Attorney; and service/program data from Behavioral Health, Turning Point of Central California (Turning Point), Transitions for Recovery & Re-entry Program, Inc., Department of Social Services, Economic Development Department/Workforce Development Board (formerly the Office of Employment Training), BI Incorporated (Day Reporting Center), and from Introspect and jail programs. This second report describes the first year experiences of individuals who were released or sentenced under AB109 from 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2013. An individual s status as an AB109 is based on a local prison sentence pursuant to 1170(h) or those released from State Prison for PRCS for non-serious, non-violent and non-sexual crimes. An individual s status as a PRCS participant is based on the date Probation began supervision of those assigned to its jurisdiction. 3

18 Counts of relevant events including but not limited to filing dates, conviction dates, etc., which occurred beyond the twelve month period after start of PRCS or 1170(h) determination (sentence date), are not included in this report. As in the 2014 report, there were cases excluded from PRCS analysis based on an operational definition that assumes that the PRCS individuals who died, were dismissed, received in error, or were transferred to another county within 3 months of start of supervision are sufficiently different from the rest of the PRCS cohort in terms of length of time supervised and engagement in services, that they are significant outliers and should not be included. The use of the three month cut point is supported by the State Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). * This report presents information on services that were not available in the earlier report. This includes, within Behavioral Health Services, the percent of PRCS who have a Dual Diagnosis (both Substance Abuse and Mental Illness). In addition, detailed service utilization information was obtained from a new provider Transitions for Recovery & Re-Entry Program, Inc., and several providers have expanded their services, which allowed more detail on services received, for both PRCS and 1170(h). As was stated in the original legislation, an important rationale for realignment was not only to reduce cost of prison incarceration, but also to reduce recidivism through the implementation of services in the community that are appropriate to the assessed risk/need level of the individual. Indeed, the literature reflects the finding that service planning and interventions are most important and effective with high risk individuals, while low risk individuals find success with fewer or no services. For this reason, some of the analyses on recidivism focus on this high risk group. In this report, a first attempt has been made to look at the relationship between services received and conviction rates. Before, AB109, recidivism was typically defined as any conviction that caused a return to prison. With prison realignment, a redefinition of recidivism has taken place throughout California, with some definitions including re-arrest, others focusing on conviction rate, and others using felony conviction rate. To endeavor to approximate recidivism as originally defined, the operational definition of recidivism for this report is the rate of felony convictions; nevertheless, rates of arrest and total convictions are reported. * Consultation with Kevin Gaffle, Monterey County Probation 4

19 The methodology used to examine the relationship between services and conviction rate employed creating dichotomy variables for conviction (yes/no) and felony conviction (yes/no). Examination of frequency distributions on services received (counts of services) resulted in the location of the mode of service as 1 service unit. Using this as a guide, three service levels were constructed no services received, 1 service received, and more than 1 service received. Cross-tabulations with a chisquare tests were computed to show and examine differences in conviction rates among the three service levels for high risk PRCS individuals. A similar approach was used to examine differences in conviction rates for 1170(h) individuals in jail for part of the time period and released within the year following sentencing. The data on jail program participation has the added feature that it is collected in such a way that a service unit is an hour of class or program time. Thus, the frequency distributions of participation were based on hours spent, rather than counts of services. The median of service hours for the group of individuals engaged in programs was 5. The analysis of service hours examined conviction rates comparing them for those with no programs, > 5 hours of programs, and > 10 hours of programs. As with PRCS analysis, a chi-square test was applied to the cross-tabulations of program participation by convictions. Limitations and Recommendations Analysis was limited by the completeness and accuracy of data available from all sources for the time period. Reasonable measures were taken to ensure accuracy and to correct errors in the source data. The number of 1170(h) individuals under Mandatory Supervision for this period was not large enough for detailed analysis. Statistical tests were limited to nonparametric analysis chi-squares and are limited by the low numbers in some cells. Future study of types of services and service intensity are strongly recommended. 5

62 SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS AB109 REPORT YEAR 2 - MONTEREY COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT AUGUST 2015 Introduction, Methodology and Limitations Introduction California s Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 (AB109) transferred supervision and funding for managing lower-level offenders from the State to local counties. Monterey County implemented the provisions of the Act on October 1, Beginning on October 1, 2011, the Monterey County Probation Department began Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) of offenders entering the County from State Prison, and the Superior Court of California, Monterey County, began sentencing under the provisions of 1170(h) of the California Penal Code. In 2014, a report was produced on the first year cohorts of PRCS individuals and 1170(h) individuals. This current report presents information on the second year cohorts of these populations ( ), and draws comparisons to the earlier report. Methodology Offenders released from prison and sent to Monterey County from October 1, September 30, 2013 were identified and individually tracked for one year following start of their supervision. Individuals convicted of an 1170(h) and sentenced to County Jail were also tracked during this same period. In addition, demographic, assessment, and service utilization data were tracked on an individual-level for this time period. Analysis was limited to the data on events occurring from 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2014 for the PRCS and 1170(h) cohorts. Data included sentence and case data from the Courts; demographic, risk and needs assessment, and mandatory supervision PRCS data from Probation; conviction dates and type from the District Attorney; and service/program data from Behavioral Health, Turning Point of Central California (Turning Point), Transitions for Recovery & Re-entry Program, Inc., Department of Social Services, Economic Development Department/Workforce Development Board (formerly the Office of Employment Training), Geo Group Inc. (Day Reporting Center), and from Introspect and jail programs. This second report describes the first year experiences of individuals who were released or sentenced under AB109 from 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2013. An individual s status as an AB109 is based on a local prison sentence pursuant to 1170(h) or those released from State Prison for PRCS for non-serious, non-violent and non-sexual crimes. An individual s status as a PRCS participant is based on the date Probation began supervision of those assigned to its jurisdiction. Counts of relevant events including but not limited to filing dates, conviction dates, etc., which occurred beyond the twelve month period after start of PRCS or 1170(h) determination (sentence date), are not included in this report. As in the 2014 report, there were cases excluded from PRCS analysis based on an operational definition that assumes that the PRCS individuals who died, were dismissed, received in error, or were transferred to another county within 3 months of start of supervision, are sufficiently different from the rest of the PRCS cohort in terms of length of time supervised and engagement 1 P a g e

63 in services, that they are significant outliers and should not be included. The use of the three month cut point is supported by the State Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). This report presents information on services that were not available in the earlier report. This includes, within Behavioral Health Services, the percent of PRCS who have a Dual Diagnosis (both Substance Abuse and Mental Illness). In addition, detailed service utilization information was obtained from a new provider Transitions for Recovery & Re-Entry Program, Inc., and several providers have expanded their services, which allowed more detail on services received, for both PRCS and 1170(h). As was stated in the original legislation, an important rationale for realignment was not only to reduce cost of prison incarceration, but also to reduce recidivism through the implementation of services in the community that are appropriate to the assessed risk/need level of the individual. Indeed, the literature reflects the finding that service planning and interventions are most important and effective with high risk individuals, while low risk individuals find success with fewer or no services. For this reason, some of the analyses on recidivism focus on this high risk group. In this report, a first attempt has been made to look at the relationship between services received and conviction rates. Before, AB109, recidivism was typically defined as any conviction that caused a return to prison. With prison realignment, a redefinition of recidivism has taken place throughout California, with some definitions including re-arrest, others focusing on conviction rate, and others using felony conviction rate. To endeavor to approximate recidivism as originally defined, the operational definition of recidivism for this report is the rate of felony convictions; nevertheless, rates of arrest and total convictions are reported. The methodology used to examine the relationship between services and conviction rate employed creating dichotomy variables for conviction (yes/no) and felony conviction (yes/no). Examination of frequency distributions on services received (counts of services) resulted in the location of the mode of service as 1 service unit. Using this as a guide, three service levels were constructed no services received, 1 service received, and more than 1 service received. Crosstabulations with a chi-square tests were computed to show and examine differences in conviction rates among the three service levels for high risk PRCS individuals. A similar approach was used to examine differences in conviction rates for 1170(h) individuals in jail for part of the time period and released within the year following sentencing. The data on jail program participation has the added feature that it is collected in such a way that a service unit is an hour of class or program time. Thus, the frequency distributions of participation were based on hours spent, rather than counts of services. The median of service hours for the group of individuals engaged in programs was 5. The analysis of service hours examined conviction rates comparing them for those with no programs, > 5 hours of programs, and > 10 hours of programs. As with PRCS analysis, a chi-square test was applied to the cross-tabulations of program participation by convictions. Limitations and Recommendations Analysis was limited by the completeness and accuracy of data available from all sources for the time period. Reasonable measures were taken to ensure accuracy and to correct errors in the source data. The number of 1170(h) individuals under Mandatory Supervision for this period was not large enough for detailed analysis. Statistical tests were limited to non-parametric analysis chi-squares and are limited by the low numbers in some cells. Future study of types of services and service intensity are strongly recommended. 2 P a g e

64 Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) DEMOGRAPHIC/CHARACTERISTIC INFORMATION A total of 183 individuals were released from prison to Monterey County during this reporting period. The number of PRCS individuals is 44.4% lower than reported in the evaluation analysis. The majority were male (89.6%), Hispanic or Latino/Latina (54.6%), between years of age. Caucasians made up the second largest demographic group followed by Black/African Americans. This is consistent with findings in the evaluation analysis. Chart 1 Number and Percent of PRCS Individuals by Ethnicity and Race, Over 58% had a high school diploma, GED or greater, and 41.6% had less than a high school diploma at time of release. Although more than two-thirds (71.8%) were released to permanent housing, a substantial number (27.1%) were released homeless or in a temporary housing situation and may have needed some type of housing services. The percentage of individuals in a temporary housing situation or homeless upon release increased slightly from 26.2% as reported in the evaluation analysis. 3 P a g e

65 Chart 2 Number and Percent of PRCS Individuals by Housing at the Time of Release, Over 45% scored high on their risk assessment (ORAS), indicating the need for a higher level of supervision. 1 The percentage of high risk individuals at 45.2% is lower when compared to 63.5% in the evaluation analysis. Chart 3 The Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) Risk Levels of PRCS Individuals, The Ohio Risk Assessment System (ORAS) allows classification of risk groups based on their likelihood to recidivate, and identifies dynamic risk factors that can be used to prioritize programmatic needs and identify potential barriers to treatment. 4 P a g e

Chart 9 Percent 1170(h) Individuals by Gender and Age Most were for property or drug convictions. 9.5% received a split sentence compared to 4.4% in the prior reporting period. 78.3% of those sentenced (227) were released from jail during the time period of this analysis. 43.4% received programs in jail with the majority related to Substance Use/Abuse. This is higher than reported in the evaluation analysis at 36.5%. CONVICTIONS POST RELEASE FROM JAIL Convictions continue to be 17.2% were convicted of a new crime within one lower for individuals who year following their release. 53.1% were felony receive programming while convictions. in jail. For those experiencing no programming in jail, 18.8% had convictions after release. In , the percentage was 23.9%. 9 P a g e

A Provide direction on the recommendation to record CCP meetings under recommended criteria The following information is presented for discussion on the feasibility of recording CCP meetings. The County of Monterey allocated a budget to record the Board of Supervisors meetings. The funding allows the County to broadcast the meetings on local Comcast Channel 28, and post the recorded meetings on the county website. The County Public Information Officer indicates that additional meetings for the Community Corrections Partnership could be included in the annual budget at no additional cost under some defined criteria, which include: Meetings must take place in the Board of Supervisors Chambers County Channel technician must be available to manage recording Number of meetings requiring recording not to exceed the number of meetings to be recorded within the technician contract As the CCP quarterly meeting calendar for each year is established in advance, regular meetings can be incorporated in the videographer s calendar. Special meetings (if scheduled) will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on videographer availability. A DVD copy of the meeting can be provided to the CCP. This information pertains only to filming the meetings and broadcasting them on the local television channel; it does not include posting or managing the meeting on the County internet site. Staff is presently researching the process for Internet streaming of the meetings.

B 1) Receive an update on the recommendations from the Community Oriented Correctional Health Services (COCHS) report regarding items: 1) Bringing Medi-Cal funded counselors into the Day Reporting Center The following information is presented as an update to the feasibility of Medi-Cal Enrollment services offered to adult offenders participating in the Day Reporting Center (DRC). In November 2014 the CCP received a report from Community Oriented Correctional Health Services (COCHS) about leveraging allowable federal health care dollars for health coverage and treatment for justice-involved populations in Monterey County. The report indicated that the current level of commitment between Probation and Social Services towards enrollment efforts was sufficient. COCHS suggested exploring whether GEO Reentry could staff the DRC with Medi-Cal providers, who could be reimbursed for their counseling services to enrolled individuals, therefore providing a potential offset to the funds expended for contracted services. Services to enroll eligible participants in Medi-Cal are outside the scope of the RFP for DRC services, and the subsequent contract with the DRC provider. However, GEO Reentry has expressed interest in exploring the feasibility of Medi-Cal reimbursement for eligible services to enrolled participants. GEO Reentry scheduled a conference call with the new Behavioral Health Director and her staff for November 4 th, to begin information gathering, explore eligible services, costs and staffing, and gain more in depth information on the Medi-Cal reimbursement process. As next step, the DRC will forward staff qualifications and classifications, treatment plan and curriculum design to the Behavioral Health Director to review and provide feedback. A followup conference call has been scheduled for January 7, 2016.

This report predates the tenure of the Custody Bureau Chief and the management specialist assigned to the project and was first received by our team on October 20, Page 3, Inpatient Enrollment MCSO, Department of Social Services and Natividad Medical Center registration staff collaborated to implement an inpatient Prisoner notification system as of 10/1/2014. Since that time, 75 prisoners became inpatient at NMC, for varying lengths of time. Each time a prisoner goes to inpatient status, Medi-Cal eligibility is checked and patients with no history of eligibility have applications prepared for Medi-Cal. Those with active county Medi-Cal will be moved to Medi-Cal Inpatient Prisoner Eligibility Program (MCIEP) Aid codes (once MEDS system is updated), and DSS and Sheriff s Office staff seek to resolve situations creating barriers to Medi- Cal eligibility (inmate still on Medicare Disability, Out of County Medi-Cal) for the remaining group. Results for this time period are listed below: Already Eligible for Medi-Cal 17 Eligible, working on removing Barrier 10 Not Eligible for MC or other insurance 2 Application Completed 46 Page 3- Recommendations for New Jail Software TracNet, the new Jail management software, has been fully deployed. MCSO has requested the recommendations for the software they were not part of the report. MCSO is copying all insurance cards and is evaluating whether this data can or cannot be entered in our Jail Management System since the system is viewable by other agencies countywide and to external law enforcement. Until this evaluation is complete, card copies will be stored in the Administrative offices, and used internally only. MCSO is sending a file of inmates monthly to Social Security Administration (SSA) to inactivate their Medicare Disability coverage. This helps removed one of the barriers to Medi-Cal Enrollment and generates a small finder s fee stream of revenue that averages $1500/month. 1
