San Mateo County Tests Inmate Release Program

San Mateo County Tests Inmate Release Program

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – To protect the public and help those who were formerly incarcerated obtain jobs and the life skills they need to succeed, San Mateo County is developing model programs for inmates with the help of a federal grant.

The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors today accepted a $677,674 grant from the U.S. Justice Department through the “Second Chance Act” initiative. San Mateo County is one of just 15 agencies that received grant funding for a project that will be watched across the nation for signs of success.

The goal is to develop support systems and programs that help San Mateo County jail inmates successfully reenter our community. Successful reentry will improve overall public safety, save taxpayer money and free up space in jails.

San Mateo County has hired Shirley Melnicoe to work with the criminal justice system and community groups as the reentry coordinator. She is the former executive director of the Northern California Service League and will coordinate the implementation of the County’s re-entry plan designed to provide the services and programs that will help former inmates become law-abiding residents.

“The success of this project is largely reliant on how effectively all our key stakeholders, including County staff, providers, advocates and community partners, work together. The re-entry coordinator is the key to ensuring that we achieve the level of collaboration that is required,” said Mark Church, president of the Board of Supervisors.

Sheriff Greg Munks said inmates often need drug and alcohol counseling, educational opportunities and to learn job skills if they are going to succeed. “If we can get people working, part of the social fabric of the community, then we have helped that person and we’ve improved public safety,” he said.

Nearly every inmate serving a sentence in San Mateo County jails will be released within a year. The Second Chance Act grant funds will also be used to offset the costs of seven contracts in the Health System and one in the Probation Department to provide substance abuse treatment, job training, reentry case management and transitional housing.

San Mateo County continues to plan for a replacement jail for the outdated Women’s Correctional Center and to expand capacity for male inmates. Munks said the re-entry coordinator will help officials as they plan for a replacement jail that has space for programs and services built into a new facility.

Crowded: San Mateo and San Francisco county jails could be responsible for additional low-level offenders under a state proposal. (Examiner file photo)

Jails and probation departments in San Francisco and San Mateo counties could be responsible for hundreds of new low-level offenders — and potentially significant new costs — under a state plan to shift some convicts to local governments, officials said.

While the state would still incarcerate violent and high-risk offenders, Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing to send most criminals who are not sex offenders and who committed nonviolent or nonserious crimes, such as drug and property crimes, to county jails and probation departments instead of state prison and parole.

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office estimates it would obtain an extra 400 inmates per year, or about 33 per month, with few places to put them. The county’s jails are rated for 843 beds but currently house about 1,000 inmates, and a new 748-bed facility to relieve overcrowding is still in the planning stages.

Based on the current cost of housing a male inmate — $169.92 a day, or $62,000 per year — those new inmates, expected to serve an average of about 13 months, would cost $27 million annually.

Local officials say they support the idea of “realignment,” which is intended to reduce the state’s $26 billion deficit, but the state only proposes to pay counties $25,000 per inmate, regardless of their sentence, Assistant Sheriff Trisha Sanchez said.

“For us, if you just do the math, we could have a significant shortfall,” Sanchez said.

State officials believe the proposal provides “adequate funding” to counties, which are better able to provide substance abuse treatment and other services to keep prisoners from reoffending, said Oscar Hidalgo, spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

“It’s hopefully a win-win, where ultimately it’s costing less money to keep [them] at the county level, and public safety is improving,” Hidalgo said.

San Francisco Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Eileen Hirst declined to predict how many new inmates the county’s four jails could expect. But significantly increasing the 2,080-bed capacity of San Francisco County’s four jails would involve re-opening a 372-bed facility at the jail complex in San Bruno.

The San Mateo County Probation Department would be responsible for supervising an extra 400 to 600 low-level offenders and parolees in addition to the approximately 5,000 adults and 2,000 juveniles it currently monitors, Chief Probation Officer Stuart Forrest said.

San Francisco’s Probation Department predicts it will have 400 to 700 extra adults to monitor, Chief Adult Probation Officer Wendy Still said.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the state plan also requires local courts to hear parole violations, which currently are handled by the state. That could burden courts, prosecutors and defense attorneys, he said.

Impacts of realignment

Officials in San Mateo and San Francisco counties estimate the governor’s realignment plan will add to their workload:

SAN MATEO COUNTY

Jails
Now: About 1,000 inmates, rated for 843 beds
Realignment prediction: Add an estimated 33 inmates per month
Probation
Now: Monitors 5,000 adults and 2,000 juveniles
Realignment prediction: Add an additional 400 to 600 offenders

SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY

Jails
Now: About 1,800 inmates, rated for 2,080 beds
Realignment prediction: Unknown

Adult probation
Now: Monitors 6,300 adults
Realignment prediction: Add an additional 400 to 700 offenders

Weak community corrections programs force judges to choose jail

That's one in every 31 people in the U.S., Pew Center on States found
Blacks four times more likely than whites to be in corrections system, study showed
Next Article in Crime »

(CNN) -- A record number of Americans served time in corrections systems across the country in 2007, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Center on the States.

Some of the nation's most high-profile federal inmates are housed at the Supermax prison in Colorado.

The U.S. correctional population -- those in jail, prison, on probation or on parole -- totaled 7.3 million, or 1 in every 31 adults.
The Pew Center on the States compiled the information from Justice Department and Census Bureau statistics.
America's prison population has skyrocketed over the past quarter century. In 1982, 1 in 77 adults were in the correctional system in one form or another, totaling 2.2 million people.
The United States has 5 percent of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prison inmates, the center said.
The numbers vary widely by race and gender.
"Black adults are four times as likely as whites and nearly 2.5 times as likely as Hispanics to be under correctional control. One in 11 black adults -- 9.2 percent -- was under correctional supervision at year-end 2007," the report said. "And although the number of female offenders continues to grow, men of all races are under correctional control at a rate five times that of women."
Don't Miss
States reconsider death penalty
There are also wide differences depending on the state. Georgia tops the nation, with 1 in 13 adults in the state's corrections system, while in New Hampshire the figure is 1 in 88. Southern states tended to have higher rates, with Plains and rural Northeastern states coming in lower.
"State policy choices are responsible for creating this mess and state policy choices can get us out," said Adam Gelb, director of the Public Safety Performance Project for the Pew Center on the States. "There are two things, and two things only that determine the size and cost of the prison system."
Dealing out longer sentences and putting more people behind bars have been the hallmarks of Southern states, he said.
America's record prison population has had a huge budgetary effect, according to the report, with increased corrections spending outstripping everything at the state level except for Medicaid.
Gelb said prison costs 22 times more than community-based corrections.
"If you talk to judges and prosecutors practically anywhere in this country, they will tell you if they had stronger community corrections, they wouldn't have to send so many people [to prison] for so many low-level offenses," he said.
For California, it has meant overcrowded prisons. In February, federal judges tentatively ruled that California must reduce the number of inmates in its prison system by up to 40 percent to stop a constitutional violation of prisoners' rights.
Implementing the court's ruling would result in up to 58,000 prisoners being released, said Matthew Cate, California's corrections and rehabilitation secretary, describing it as a threat to public safety.
The Pew Center on the States, through its Public Safety Performance Project, says it promotes "fiscally sound, data-driven policies and practices in sentencing and corrections that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections costs."

Manhunt 101How to catch a fugitive.

By Juliet Lapidos
Updated Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2007, at 3:36 PM ET

Two inmates, Jose Espinosa and Otis Blunt, escaped from a New Jersey jail on Saturday evening. The jailbreak was right out of The Shawshank Redemption: Espinosa and Blunt dug their way through a cinder-block wall and kept their progress hidden with smutty magazine photos. There's now a "widespread manhunt" under way for the two fugitives. That makes the Explainer think of flashlights, sudden downpours, and Tommy Lee Jones yelling into a megaphone. What really goes on during a manhunt?

Old-fashioned detective work. Local law-enforcement officials will most likely start the chase by looking for footprints in mud or snow (depending on the weather). They may also dispatch a canine unit to sniff out the fugitives' trail. Dogs are fairly effective in rural areas, but they have a tough time in cities due to distractions like food smells and loud noises.

If local law enforcement doesn't catch an escapee right away, it's common practice to ask the state police and the U.S. Marshals for assistance. The FBI may lend a hand and, in some cases, place the escapee(s) on its Most Wanted list. It's also customary to solicit help from the general population by placing wanted posters in public places (especially public transportation hubs) and sending bulletins to newspapers or radio and television stations.

Convicts on the lam have no ready access to cash, clothing, or food. Desperate, they often make amateurish mistakes, like heading to a family member's house. To stay one step ahead, fugitive task forces comb through an escapee's file to find his last known residence, where his parents live, and any information available on friends who came to visit the inmate while he was still in jail. Then detectives do some door-knocking to suss out if the fugitive's around. In high-profile cases, surveillance teams will stake out these locations.

When a fugitive task force homes in on the escapee's probable location, the hunt becomes more cinematic. The task force creates a perimeter and gets a dog team together. If it's dark out, the task force members may strap on heat-seeking night-vision devices. Then they slowly tighten the perimeter until the escapee has to give himself up.

Manhunts aren't always speedy affairs. One example from recent memory: Eric Robert Rudolph, the Olympic Park Bomber, spent more than five years hiding out in the Appalachian wilderness. The hunt finally ended in Murphy, N.C., on May 31, 2003, when a police officer spotted Rudolph scavenging food out of a garbage can in the middle of the night.

Warrant for Arrest – How to Check for Arrest Warrants

Did you know that you could have outstanding arrest warrants? Find out about them right now

The police only have to think that you’ve committed a crime before applying for an arrest warrant from a Judge. Most people think that you have to actually do something wrong before you can get an arrest warrant but that’s not true. The police could come and get you at any time whether you’re a criminal or not. See below for an easy way to check if you have any active arrest warrants.

If you’ve forgotten to appear in court when you should have done or you didn’t get proof of that community service that you did then the court may have issued a bench warrant for you. If you have any kind of active warrant outstanding then sooner or later the police will come after you and arrest you.

You can’t afford to ignore an arrest warrant

If the cops come knocking at your door to arrest you then it will show on your record that the police had to hunt you down to serve the warrant on you.

California County Jails / Arrest Records / Outstanding Warrants … Jail Arrest Log.
The Hillsborough County Clerk’s Office in Tampa also keeps a copy of the arrest warrant on file which can be obtain as a public record.
Arrest Warrants Collier County Actve Warrants Search CLICK HERE Florida Crime Information Center Wanted Persons Search CLICK HERE Hillsborough County.

When you get to court this isn’t going to look good for you. The judge will be influenced by the fact that you had to be dragged in to court. You can’t afford to ignore an arrest warrant even if you are unaware that you have one.

It’s not as uncommon as you might think to have warrants that you don’t know about. It happens all of the time. Perhaps you failed to pay a fine or ran through a speed trap without realising it. You might have had your identity stolen and someone has been committing crimes on your behalf and giving your name to the police. Think about that for a moment, you can get arrested for something someone else did while they were using your name.

It’s much better to give yourself up than wait for the cops to drag you in

Try to put yourself into the judges shoes. Do you think that he or she might be inclined to treat you more sympathetically if your record shows that you handed yourself in to the court as soon as you discovered that you had an arrest warrant? I’m betting that this would be the case no matter how hard the judge tried to be impartial. It’s just human nature.

So find out whether you have active arrest warrants and take steps to engage a lawyer and give yourself up as soon as possible.

Check yourself out for warrants of arrest in the next few minutes

If you have an idea that you might have a warrant active and you know where it might have been issued then you can go and ask at the courthouse. This is easy enough but there’s no guarantee that you’ll get the right courthouse.

Whatever you do don’t ask a police officer because they most likely will arrest you on the spot as soon as they find out that there is an arrest warrant out for you.

There is a better way to check for warrants. You can use an online website that specialises in collecting public records from all over. You can do one search that will cover a multitude of courthouses and find additional information from all kinds of sources.

Check for arrest warrants now and do it regularly to make sure you stay on the right side of the law.

California Arrest Warrants

A common plot conflict that television lawyers face is to be held in contempt of court. This usually happens when they've ticked off a judge. As a result they have to pay some kind of fine and are often sent to jail to "cool their heels." But contempt of court isn't just for trial lawyers. You can actually be held in contempt of court without ever stepping inside of a courtroom. If that happens then it means that a California arrest warrant will be sworn out in your name and that can spell big trouble for you.

California Bench Warrants
From a legal standpoint, there are two categories of California arrest warrants. The first type is the bench warrant which refers to that contempt of court violation. Being in contempt of court means that you have failed a particular obligation set forth by the court.

All this talk of "court" is just a formal way of saying a judge. When presented with the violation, a specific judge will be issuing the California bench warrant and it's that judge who you'll need to go in front of to clear up the matter.

Some of the reasons why you would be considered in contempt would be the failure to pay a fine such as a parking or speeding ticket. You could also be fined for littering or some other infraction dealing with your property. Forget about paying those fines and you're in contempt. Skipping alimony or child support payments is another reason where a judge can issue that bench warrant for your arrest.

California Arrest Warrant
The second type of warrant is the arrest warrant. This is also issued by a specific judge but it deals primarily with criminal matters. If you are a suspect in a crime you could have an arrest warrant sworn out in your name as the result of evidence presented against you. This could be an indictment from a grand jury or merely a witness's testimony to the police.

Suppose you accidently ran into a parked car or got into a fight inside a bar but left the scene before reporting it. A witness can come forward and inform the police of your actions. This in turn could result in an arrest warrant.

Notification
Technically you don't have to be notified when these California arrest warrants are sworn out in your name. The only time you'll be notified could be when it is too late and you're already under arrest. You might be stopped for a traffic ticket or have a potential employee run a background check. If there is a warrant in your name, it will pop up in the system and you'll be arrested.

Fortunately, you have many resources at your disposal for checking on any outstanding warrants. If you find one in your name, you should contact professional legal counsel and have the matter taken care of right away. You don't want a California arrest warrant hanging over your head.
