Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
2011 Public Safety Realignment (AB109) shifted housing and rehabilitation services of many offenders with high capacity for reform and rehabilitation from California prisons to local jurisdictions. The Probation Department (Probation) and the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) propose to work together to provide rehabilitative services to justice-involved individuals and have determined it will be mutually beneficial to provide these services to adult-reentry clients in El Dorado County, including those on probation and parole.
Probation currently has programs in place that will be made available to clients referred by SCOE, as these programs are not available in Sacramento County. Additionally, SCOE will provide Probation clients with programs that Probation does not currently instruct.
Probation will supply staff, facilities, supplies, healthy snacks, training including 52-week batterer’s program, academic services, vocational training, and bus passes. SCOE will provide classes including anger management, life skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, and staff. SCOE classes and staff; and Probation staff, facilities, supplies, and healthy snacks will be provided in-kind. The maximum obligation for in-kind services for each party will be $83,744 per fiscal year. SCOE will reimburse Probation for any services for 52-week batterers program, academic services, vocational training, and bus passes.
Co-location of resources reduces cost, enhances information sharing, pre-release planning, and reintegration opportunities for parolees and probationers.
SCOE requests that El Dorado County sign their agreement first; Probation respectfully requests that the Board Chair provide the first signature on Agreement 8446.
ALTERNATIVES
If this Agreement is not approved by the Board, there will be a decreased opportunity to provide services to adult-reentry clients in El Dorado County.
