November 4, 2021 Dear County Partners: The 2021-22 Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Survey is available for completion and submittal.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE: The Budget Act contains the requirement that for counties to be eligible to receive funding, they must submit an updated 2021 Community Corrections Partnership plan and a report (i.e., the CCP Survey) to the Board of State and Community Corrections by December 15, 2021.

The Budget Act of 2021 (Assembly Bill 128, Chapter 21), in relevant part, appropriates $7,950,000 for counties as follows:

Counties are eligible to receive funding if they submit an updated Community Corrections Partnership plan and a report to the Board of State and Community Corrections by December 15, 2021, that provides information about the actual implementation of the 2020-21 Community Corrections Partnership plan….

The BSCC website has a dedicated CCP Plans page with each county’s submission dating back to Fiscal Year 2011-12. Those submissions are available here for your reference: http://www.bscc.ca.gov/s_communitycorrectionspartnershipplans/. Counties that submit both documents (the updated 2021 CCP plan and the Survey) are eligible for funding as follows:

• $100,000 to counties with a population of 200,000 or less;

• $150,000 to counties with a population of 200,001 to 749,999; and

• $200,000 to counties with a population of 750,000 and above.

The due date for submittal of these documents is Wednesday, December 15, 2021. The CCP Survey is a mechanism to collect valuable information to educate and inform California lawmakers, the public, and the media of the continued efforts counties have made in the previous year in implementing Public Safety Realignment (Assembly Bill 109, Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011). The 2021-22 CCP Survey has been updated to aid the BSCC in the analysis of this year’s Survey responses and assist in the development of the Tenth Annual Report on the Implementation of Community Corrections Partnership Plans. This Report will be

http://www.bscc.ca.gov/s_communitycorrectionspartnershipplans/

broadly distributed and can be used as a resource for those seeking to understand how counties are investing their Public Safety Realignment funding annually. Updates to the 2021-22 Survey include:

• A new companion instructional guide, The CCP Survey Data Reporting Guide, to assist the CPPs in completing the Fiscal Year 2021-22 CCP Survey.

• Reformatting and reorganization of previously requested Survey questions.

• An additional checkbox section, Section 4: Types of Programming and Services, to allow CCPs to identify the types of programs and services provided during the prior fiscal year (FY 2020-21).

The CCP Survey continues to compile survey information from the counties using dual-reporting forms (Part A in Word and Part B in Excel). These forms as well as the CCP Survey Data Reporting Guide are located online at: http://www.bscc.ca.gov/m_realignment/. If you have questions about the content of this letter or need technical assistance, please contact Helene Zentner, Field Representative at: (916) 838.7777 or [email protected]. A completed CCP Survey package submission (Part A and Part B), as well as the updated CCP plan should also be sent to Helene Zentner at the email listed above.

Thank you in advance, LINDA M. PENNER Chair

FY 2021-22 CCP Survey Data Reporting Guide | 1

Introduction This document is an instructional guide for completing the Fiscal Year1 (FY) 2021-22 Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Survey. This guide covers each part of the Survey and provides instructions and descriptions about the types of information the CCP will need to report. The CCP Survey is designed to help Californians understand efforts, goals, and successes in implementing Public Safety Realignment. The information shared will be used as the basis of the Board of State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) annual report to the Governor and Legislature on the implementation of CCP Plans as required by paragraph (11) of subdivision (b) of Section 6027 of the Penal Code. Responses help to illustrate how counties are allocating and using funds to reduce recidivism while keeping communities safe.

About the FY 2021-22 CCP Survey The FY 2021-22 CCP Survey consists of two (2) parts. To make the survey user friendly, the BSCC is using both Microsoft Word and Excel.

• Part A – CCP Membership and Plan Implementation Information (Word) o Section 1: Respondent Information o Section 2: CCP Membership o Section 3: Goals, Objectives, and Outcome Measures o Section 4: Types of Programming and Services o Section 5: Optional Questions

• Part B – Budget (Excel) o Section 6: FY 2020-21 Public Safety Realignment Funding o Section 7: FY 2021-22 Public Safety Realignment Funding

Part A and Part B of the CCP Survey are accessed from the BSCC’s Community Corrections Partnership Plans webpage.

Completing the FY 2021-22 CCP Survey For FY 2021-22, a complete CCP Survey package consists of:

1. Part A of the CCP Survey, 2. Part B of the CCP Survey, 3. A Highlight or Success Story (optional), and 4. An updated CCP plan.

1 A Fiscal Year is July 1 through June 30 of any given year.




The Budget Act of 2021 (Assembly Bill 128) requires counties to submit an updated Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) plan and a report (i.e., the CCP Survey) to the Board of State and Community Corrections by Wednesday, December 15, 2021. The Budget Act appropriates $7,950,000 to counties as follows:

Counties are eligible to receive funding if they submit an updated Community Corrections Partnership plan and a report to the Board of State and Community Corrections by December 15, 2021, that provides information about the actual implementation of the 2020-21 Community Corrections Partnership plan accepted by the County Board of Supervisors pursuant to Section 1230.1 of the Penal Code. The report shall include, but not be limited to, progress in achieving outcome measures as identified in the plan or otherwise available. Additionally, the report shall include plans for the 2021-22 allocation of funds, including future outcome measures, programs and services, and funding priorities as identified in the plan accepted by the County Board of Supervisors.

There is no statutorily required format for the CCP Plan. However, counties may wish to consider the following format when submitting the CCP plan to the BSCC:

• Cover Page

• CCP Membership

• Table of Contents

• Introduction

• Goals, Objectives, and Outcomes

• Conclusion

Submission of the FY 2021-22 CCP Survey Package A complete FY 2021-22 CCP Survey Package includes Part A, Part B, Highlight or Success Story (optional), and an updated CCP Plan. To submit the package, send a single email with all attachments by Wednesday, December 15, 2021 to:

Helene Zentner, Field Representative Board of State and Community Corrections

916-838-7777 or [email protected] Please be aware that a complete CCP Survey package, including an updated CCP plan, MUST be submitted to the BSCC to receive compensation.



Funding Funds will be distributed by January 31, 2022 to counties that comply with all Budget Act requirements as stated above. Counties that submit the required three (3) documents (the updated CCP plan, Part A of the CCP Survey, and Part B of the CCP Survey) are eligible for funding as follows:

• $100,000 to counties with a population of 200,000 or less;

• $150,000 to counties with a population of 200,001 to 749,999; and

• $200,000 to counties with a population of 750,000 and above.

CCP Survey Contact Information If there are any questions or there is a need for technical assistance in completing this Survey, please contact:

Helene Zentner, BSCC Field Representative 916-838-7777 or [email protected]

General Instructions • Each CCP Chair is encouraged to share the CCP survey with CCP members prior

to completion and submission of all required documents. Responses to the CCP Survey shall represent the collective views of the CCP and not a single agency or individual.

• The intent of the survey is to assist the BSCC with determining the extent to which county CCP plans have been implemented. The information provided should have a clear connection to the county’s most recent CCP plan.

• Each CCP shall submit only one (1) CCP Survey Package.

• Respondents may use spell and grammar checks for their narrative responses (Part A, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Excel’s auto-sum features when completing the budgetary questions (Part B, Sections 6 and 7).

BSCC’s Analysis of Survey Responses and Inclusion in the Legislative Report The BSCC’s Ninth Annual Report on the Implementation of Community Corrections Partnership Plans (July 2021) included two new sections:

1. Data Collection Method – provided a brief description of the method for collecting

information from counties on the implementation of their CCP plans.

2. Statewide Summary of Key Information – provided a summary of Part A survey

information received from the counties focusing on the CCP composition,

evaluation of programs and services, percent of funds allocated toward the use of

evidence-based practices, types of programs, and services offered.

These two new sections will be included in the Tenth Annual Report on the Implementation of Community Corrections Partnership Plans. To better facilitate these and additional analyses, some modifications were made to Part A of the CCP Survey, specifically clarified guidance for reporting CCP membership (not applicable versus vacant) and meeting frequency, and a new Section 4, Types of Programming and Services. Additionally for FY 2021-22, the BSCC will expand analysis of the CCP Survey responses to include:





• Content analyses of Part A, including the optional questions to identify themes

across counties. Example questions that may be answered include:

o How do CCPs determine potential program and/or services for local implementation using realignment funds?

o Of those evaluating their programs, how are they doing so? o Of those evaluating their programs, how do they consider the results when

funding programs or services? o What challenges do counties face in meeting the substance use, mental

health, or other program and service needs? o How can the BSCC assist counties in meeting realignment goals? o What are the best or promising practices that are used locally?

• Quantitative Analyses of Part B. Possible analyses may include:

o Number/percent of respondents for which the self-reported total budget amount matched with the State’s distribution.

o Identification of reserve funding and analysis of this surplus as a percent of annual allocations/distributions.

o Breakdown of the funding allocations between probation departments, sheriffs, and other agencies, entities, or funds.

Counties are encouraged to provide a complete and thorough survey response to the BSCC. To facilitate the additional analyses, CCP Survey responses will be reviewed and screened as follows:

• For this FY 2021-22 Survey, did the updated information provided for the full FY

2020-21 goals, objectives, and outcome measures tie back to those that were

reported/included in the FY 2020-21 CCP Survey? If not, why not?

• Are the goals, objectives, outcome measures, and progress toward stated goals

related and appropriate? That is, are they related to the CCP plan and each other?

• Does the reported budget amount (not including reserves or carry over) match with

the State’s distribution? If not, why not?

How to Complete Part A

Section 1: Respondent Information This section is designed to identify the county for which survey responses are provided, collect the contact information of the person completing the survey form, and identify who to contact for follow-up questions. There are three (3) questions in this section. 1. County Name: Write the full name of the county for which the survey is being

submitted. 2. Respondent Contact Information: Provide information to identify the individual

completing the survey including name, organization, email address, and phone number.

3. Whom to Contact: Indicate whether the individual listed in item 2 may be contacted by BSCC staff for follow up questions. If someone else should be contacted, put that


person’s contact information in the following boxes including their name, organization, email address, and phone number.

Section 2: CCP Membership This section collects information related to the CCP composition and meeting frequency. There are four (4) questions in this section. 4. CCP Membership Roles: Penal Code Section 1230 identifies the membership of the

CCP. Write the names and organization of all members of the CCP as of October 1, 2021 on the line next to their membership role. If a public membership role does not exist in a county, respond by indicating “not applicable.” This should only be used if the county does not have the specific position. If a position exists in the county but the membership role is not filled in the CCP, respond by indicating “vacant”. For county positions, one person may fill multiple roles.

5. How often does the CCP meet: Select the one/single option that best describes the CCP’s regular meeting schedule. Indicate whether the CCP regularly meets bi-weekly (every other week), monthly, bi-monthly (every other month), quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. If none of these options accurately describe how often the CCP meets, select “Other” and describe the CCP’s regular meeting schedule.

6. How often does the Executive Committee of the CCP meet: Select the one/single option that best describes the Executive Committee’s regular meeting schedule. Indicate whether the Executive Committee of the CCP regularly meets bi-weekly (every other week), monthly, bi-monthly (every other month), quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. If none of these options accurately describe how often the Executive Committee meets, select “Other” and describe the Executive Committee’s regular meeting schedule.

7. Does the CCP have subcommittees or working groups: Select “Yes” or “No”. If “Yes”, use the table provided to list the subcommittees and/or working groups and describe the purpose of each.

Section 3: Goals, Objectives, and Outcome Measures This section asks questions related to the CCP’s goals, objectives, and outcome measures. For the purpose of this survey:

• Goals are defined as broad statements the CCP intends to accomplish.

• Objectives support identified goals and are defined by statements of specific, measurable aims of the goal.

• Outcome measures consist of the actual measurement of stated goals and objectives.

The intent of the survey is to assist the BSCC with determining the extent to which county CCP plans have been implemented. The goals reported should have a clear connection to the county’s most recent CCP plan. For each goal, the associated objectives and outcome measures should have a clear tie to the goal.


Updated Information on FY 2020-21 Goals, Objectives, and Outcome Measures

Questions 8, 9, and 10, asks the CPP to provide updated progress information about the goals, objectives, and outcome measures previously reported for FY 2020-21 in the 2020-21 CCP Survey. To view responses provided in the 2020-21 survey, click here. For each question, provide the goals, objectives, and outcome measures as reported in the FY 2020-21 survey. The progress information (last two rows of each table) should be updated to reflect the progress achieved over the full fiscal year. Figure 1 provides an example of a completed goals, objectives, and outcomes table. Note that the goal was included in the county’s most recent CCP plan, the objectives have a clear tie to the goal, and the outcome measures are related to the objectives. Finally, the progress statement provided is related to the objective statements and goal. Figure 1. Example of a Completed Goals, Objectives, and Outcome Measures Table for the Prior Fiscal Year.

Legislative Background: Senate Bill 678, the California Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act was signed into law on October 11, 2009. The legislation allocates funds to Probation Departments annually based on costs avoided by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) from a reduction in the percentage of adult probationers sent to prison. The SB 678 funds are to be utilized by Probation Departments specifically for the development and implementation of evidence-based community corrections programs. Programs are to be developed and implemented by the Chief Probation Officer with advice from the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP). The goal of the Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act is to provide for the implementation of evidence-based community corrections practices, programs, supervision and rehabilitative services for adult felony offenders. Examples include (a) evidence-based risk and needs assessments, (b) evidence-based substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, cognitive behavior programs, anger management, job training / employment services, and (c) intensive probation supervision. On October 1, 2011, the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Act also went into effect in Sierra County and across California. The law altered the California criminal justice system by (a) changing the definition of a felony, (b) shifting housing for low level offenders from state prison to local county jails, and (c) transferring the community supervision of designated parolees from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to local county probation departments. Several companion trailer bills followed, clarifying the legislative intent, correcting drafting errors and providing initial statewide implementation funding. Both AB 109 and the companion trailer bills, taken together, created extensive changes to statutory law which is intended to reduce the number of convicted offenders incarcerated in California’s State prison system by “realigning” these offenders to local criminal justice agencies who are now responsible for these offender groups. Under the AB 109 legislation, the Penal Code was amended to provide incarceration terms in county jail rather than State prison for over 500 specific felony offenses. Offenders ineligible to serve their incarceration in state prison instead of county jail are known as County Jail Prison (N3) offenders. Under the law, a sentencing Superior Court Judge has the option of splitting the sentence of a convicted County Jail Prison (N3) defendant between an incarceration term in county jail and mandatory supervision. If the Court sentences these offenders to serve their full term of incarceration in jail, the offender is not supervised upon release. Additionally, the law creates a new offender status called “Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS).” The law requires that a County agency


4

supervise any convicted felon released from state prison with a committing offense that was non-violent, non-serious, and not a high-risk sex offense, or inmates committed after admitting one serious or violent prior. The Sierra County Probation Department has been designated by the Board of Supervisors as the supervising County agency for the PRCS offender group. The third offender group AB 109 assigns to counties includes state parole violators who are revoked into custody. With the exception of offenders sentenced to life with parole, this group is being revoked to local county jail instead of state prison. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) continues to supervise parolees released from prison after serving a term for a serious or violent felony, murder, life, or certain sex offenses, as well as high-risk sex offenders and mentally disordered offenders. The Public Safety Realignment Act also expanded the role and purpose of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) which was previously established in Penal Code Section 1230. Through SB 678 and pursuant to AB 117 an Executive Committee of the CCP was required to prepare an AB 109 Implementation Plan that will enable each county to meet the goals of the Public Safety Realignment legislation. The Executive Committee is comprised of the Chief Probation Officer (the Chair of the CCP); the Superior Court Presiding Judge or designee; the District Attorney; the Public Defender; the Sheriff; a Police Chief; and the Administrator of Health and Human Services. Each county was originally required to develop a Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan approved by the Board of Supervisors before State funding could be reallocated to local law enforcement and other county justice agencies. The legislation assumes counties will handle these offender populations differently than the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) by utilizing incarceration, community supervision, and/or alternative custody and diversion programs during the offender’s sentence length. Each implementation plan was required to identify evidence-based practices, which could be established so that the community’s public safety is not jeopardized because of these new offender populations. Reason for Annual Updated Plan and Current Status: Sierra County developed its initial plan in 2013. On October 16, 2020, the State of California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) distributed a memo informing all counties that effective immediately per The Budget Act of 2020 (AB 74, Chapter 6) counties who wished to seek and receive funds under the AB 109 Training and Planning Grants ($100,000 annual funding for Sierra County CCP) needed to submit updated plans as noted above in addition to annual surveys. Updated plans are required to be submitted to the BSCC by


5

December 15 annually after being approved by the CCP and the County’s Board of Supervisors in order to be eligible for such funding. This funding is identified as “RI” in the proposed CCP annual budget. Current Membership: The Sierra County Community Corrections Partnership is currently composed of the following members (Penal Code 1230): (b)(2) * Charles Henson, Chief Probation Officer/ Chairman; (b)(2)(A) * Ann Mendez, Court Executive Officer, Superior Court of

Sierra County designee; (b)(2)(B) Sharon Dryden, Supervisor District 5; (b)(2)(C) * Sandra Groven, District Attorney; (b)(2)(D) * J.

(b)(2)(L) Vacant, (Representative of Community Based Organization); and (b)(2)(M) Sandy Marshall, Victim Advocate, Victim Witness. Note: * Distinguishes an “Executive Member” eligible for voting.

Main Goals of the Original 2013 Plan: The original CCP Plan was contained in a lengthy comprehensive report called the SB 678 Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act & AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Act Integrated Implementation Plan, dated December 18, 2013. That plan was required to develop and form the CCP. It contained, amongst the roles and responsibilities of each partner, and the goals that the group sought to work towards with the new local roles and responsibilities of realignment. The key goals of that implementation plan were focused on:

1) Community Safety: Program goals will strive to maintain maximum public safety through enhanced sanctions and reducing recidivism.

2) High-risk Offenders: Identified and targeted offenders with the highest risk to reoffend using evidence-based risk assessment tools and providing intensive supervision within the community.


6

3) Efficient Use of Jail Capacity: Minimizing the impact of the increased jail population by employing recognized techniques to increase efficient use of current pretrial and sentenced jail bed capacity by reserving jail beds for the most serious and violent offenders while diverting those manageable to community alternative programs.

4) Targeted Interventions: Using research and evidence-based needs assessment tools to identify criminogenic needs and find, create, or contract for target interventions. This included the need to provide services to cover factors such as employment, education, housing, physical and mental health, and drug / alcohol treatment.

5) Incorporate Reentry Principles into the Jail Custody Environment: Aimed to reduce recidivism through the development and improvement of an offender’s life skills that are necessary for successful reintegration into the community by expanding in-custody jail programming using evidence-based practices.

6) Incorporate Evidence-based Practices into Supervision and Case Management of Post-Release Offenders: Utilizing principles and practices proven to reduce recidivism through more effective supervision and intervention services for offenders sentenced to local terms of imprisonment as well as offenders returning from prison to post-community release supervision.

7) Sentencing for Felony Offenders: Presentence recommendations should be guided by static risk scores (low risk – minimal sanction, increasing sanctions for higher risk levels). Encourages the use of evidence-based practices in the sentencing for felony offenders by utilizing principles proven to lower recidivism through more effective sentencing.

8) Offender Accountability: Prioritizes the focus of resources on providing alternatives to criminal behavior. Increased offender accountability through effective use of graduated violation sanctions, custody, and custody alternatives.

9) Monitoring and Reporting Performance: Sought to regularly measure and assess data and programs, followed by community reporting and adjustments in programs and services as determined to reduce recidivism. Made a point to guide the local justice system by research and to implement the most cost-effective practices that reduce recidivism, victimization and program failure.

Implementation of the 2020-2021 Plan: As previously noted, beginning FY 2020-2021, the Sierra County CCP revised its plan to be in compliance with the Budget Act of 2020 (AB 74, Chapter 6). Although updated plan(s) had not been submitted between 2013 and 2020,


7

strategic planning had occurred at some level at least annually when the CCP met and each year’s budget had been developed, discussed and approved by the membership. Each years' planning centered on the prioritization of funds to be allocated to available resources to support the areas that had been identified as being successful in managing targeted populations using evidence based approaches. The table below represents the 2020-2021 Approved Budget for the Sierra County CCP. Funds were budgeted appropriately in accordance with Penal Code 1229 and 1230.1. Funds directly enabled, supported, and/or built upon enhancing the public safety, a range of supervision tools, sanctions and services, maximizing restitution, reconciliation and restorative services to victims, holding offenders accountable, and reducing the number of offenders sent to the California State Prison after a revocation of probation through rehabilitative services. Local services consisted of evidence based correctional sanctions (jail, flash and EM), a day reporting center resource (dedicated desk space with phone, computer and internet for online counseling and employment, etc.), drug court/ reentry court (meeting once a month with positive reinforcement tokens, certificates and gift cards), residential treatment and counseling, interactive journaling, intensive supervision, regular drug and alcohol testing, and electronic monitoring. Those guidelines have remained consistent with the goals in the original plan and are detailed in the outlined budget below: 2020-2021 Approved Budget For CCP

Updated Goals and the 2021-2022 Plan: For the 2021-2022 fiscal year the Sierra County CCP plans to prioritize funding to proven evidence based services and programs that are consistent with the local need and resources in three (3) main areas. Outcome measures will be monitored in each area. Those areas are:

1) Goal: To continue to maintain and enhance public safety. It is essential to the program that resources are available to appropriately house the in-custody population and to monitor realigned higher risk offenders in the community. Those offenders may be persons on either a suspended sentences or persons who are being supervised after a CDCR prison term or on mandatory supervision. Contracted jail facilities with the Wayne Brown Correctional Facility, Nevada City and the Plumas County Jail, Quincy are utilized. Electronic monitoring will be provided by the Sierra County Probation Department for approved offenders as an alternative to jail for those who are on pretrial supervision, sentenced offenders, violation custody time, and as a general supervision tool. Flash incarceration will also be utilized when appropriate. Task: The CCP will continue to commit funding to appropriately house targeted offenders from initial arrest to final discharge in a contracted jail facility that is utilized by the Sierra County Sheriff’s Office. Funding will also be allocated to contract within the California Department of Corrections. Offenders who assess for electronic monitoring will be eligible to be monitored in the community amongst their support network and/or other protective factors based on their individual risk to reoffend and case knowledge. Funding will address the daily costs of housing inmates, their medical insurance, staffing to house, transport, and to monitor offenders. Funding will also address the equipment and other services needed to ensure public safety.


10

Outcome measure: Successful completion rates and recidivism rates for all offenders on any type of supervision will be tracked.

2) Goal: To ensure quality effective supervision of all offenders. It is a primary goal of the CCP to support and encourage successful rehabilitation of all offenders through supportive probation supervision that emphasizes personal accountability and betterment based on modern evidence based principles. The CCP will allocate funding to appropriate assessment tools, supervision tools and training, case management programs, and other systems or tools that directly contribute to the effective management of offenders. Task: Offenders will be assessed for risk and needs. The court, prosecution and defense will be provided comprehensive reports that will include an offender’s individual risk and criminogenic needs/protective factors to assist in decision-making. The proper level of diligent supervision will be afforded to each offender. Supervision staff will utilize modern and effective Intrinsic Motivational Interviewing techniques when possible and appropriate in assisting offenders through the stages of change. Offender needs will be addressed timely and staff will be properly trained and have access to the proper modern tools necessary. Supervisors will make regular efforts to ensure that proper practices are being implemented consistently. In addition to an offender’s static and dynamic factors, supervision levels and techniques will take into account case specific information that is obtained through both routine interactions and staff experience based knowledge. Compliance with the terms and conditions of supervision will be positively reinforced. Behavior constituting a violation of supervision will be evaluated for potential preventative measures and will be addressed timely in a constructive environment with emphasis on accountability and personal growth. Outcome measure: All offenders will be monitored regularly compliance and violations of their supervision will be tracked.

3) Goal:

To ensure an equal opportunity for all offenders to participate in appropriate treatment and services. All services will center on a common goal to achieve a successful reintegration of offenders to the community. With consideration to Evidence Based Practices and availability all offenders will be afforded treatment and other supportive services,


11

including but not limited to; residential drug and alcohol treatment; transitional living; outpatient services; mental health management services; medical evaluations; educational, and employment services. The CCP will remain committed in supporting the Sierra County Drug Court Program, Reentry Court, and other Collaborative Courts that target higher risk offenders through funding of a part time Collaborative Court Coordinator, a contracted medical advisor and assessment provider, additional treatment access, drug and alcohol testing, training to personnel and electronic monitoring. The CCP will also support the practice of positive reinforcement and incentives to all Collaborative Court offenders helping fund shortfalls in other funding for tokens, certificates, and gift cards. Incentives will be both monetary and privilege based. Task: The principles of Targeted Interventions will be utilized. These principles are:

A) Risk/Needs. Appropriately allocate resources to individual offender risks and needs. Maximizes the effective allocation of resources and helps protect offenders from being overly treated or overly exposed to higher risk person that has been proven to be detrimental. Assessments through Corrections Solutions Software/Noble, Sierra County Behavioral Health, interactive journaling with The Change Companies, and other specialty-contracted providers will be used to make informed decisions on how to treat/support offenders.

B) Responsivity. Takes into account an individuals’ temperament, learning ability and style, motivation, culture and gender in applying appropriate programs. When possible, proven programs are fit to an offender to ensure maximum effectiveness. Programs that contain a component such as Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT) and/or Moral Recognition Therapy (MRT) will be utilized when available.

C) Dosage. Recognizes the scientifically proven information that high risk offenders need between 40% and 70% of the time in their first three (3) to nine (9) months of supervision to be filled with a positive routine of services such as inpatient, outpatient, self-help, employment, education, pro social support, and effective supervision.

D) Treatment. Treatment must take into consideration all of the above factors and focus on a program that also takes into consideration mental health, drug and alcohol abuse disorders, and dual diagnoses.


12

Outcome measure: Offenders will be reassessed periodically throughout their period of supervision when there are significant changes in their situation and/or at the discretion of the supervising officer and/or treatment professional(s). Targeted interventions will evolve with the ongoing assessments of offenders.

The Integrated Model highlights how the implementation of evidence based principles is an intertwined complex system. With a closer look one can see that components of the three goals above can be put into each of the three circles. By ensuring that each goal and its components are implemented effectively and synchronously, the Sierra County Community Corrections Partnership will ensure that realignment funding and supported resources will adhere to the fundamentals of evidence based practices.
