Mention, Substance Abuse, beds that are available for the clients that are coming out of custody. So that we can keep them from recidivism. We can keep them from failing to. We have to make sure the major chordates. We do boston we go to their cameras. We know their street names and so forth to get these guys back to court. However, these clients are homeless. The majority of them are homeless. We also need beds available for these clients and we take them out of custody to my there are few shelter beds. We do work with the clients are currently on probation because probation does have housing. However, we see a short a shortage of beds treatment beds, Mental Health beds, and as well as housing. That is a great problem for our office and the caseworkers and the clients because once we can stabilize our client of Mental Health, their prescription medication, get them into a Substance Abuse program, or into housing while they are waiting and we are working with them, theyre more likely to appear and less likely to reoffend. One question i would ask, director, do you feel that with the current funding that you have that you have the capacity to serve all of the eligible pretrial detainees to your program . Odyssey additional funding would be welcome in terms of seeing more cases. I think the issue is, its not just for the pretrial case orders that equally as important are the available resources. That, if i didnt just bear with me, is not quite as exotic anecdote as Christine Deberry but in the field of dreams movie if you build it and you have the facility, we will be able to do that. I think it makes extensive use of pure advocates and its really access to resources that we need and then you have the staffing to do it. Its labor intensive, meaning youre taking people to appointment. Youre picking them up, delivering them to programs. And scheduled the case managers can turn spend the entire time for the sake of them i would like only one person to respond to questions. But what i will then say is, i think its important that as we continue this exploration and study process, that your program anticipates. But if we can have a sense of what the alternatives are. So we were able to fund this program to a greater extent, how much would that help reduce our jail population while keeping our city safe because of resources that you provided i think thats really where im headed. But its hard to make the answer on the fly here a committee, but i think your voice could be an important one as we can to continue to study this issue. So, thank you thank you. Chapter Jill Robinson from the department of Public Health and we had to have debbie sheriff freeman from the Sheriffs Department. Good morning, supervised on Jill Robinson dir. Of Behavioral Health services. My prior position was that of the director of Behavioral Health services for the jail. I was in the jail for about 20 years. In the jail, there is approximately 1117 of the individuals that have a serious Mental Illness, that being defined as someone with a psychotic disorder were a major Mood Disorder like bipolar. About a month ago we did a oneday snapshot to try to get an exact percentage, and that date it was 14 , which was around 170 individuals. One thing to note, people with Mental Illness tend to stay in a jail longer than those in general population. It is due to a multitude of reasons. Things like the individuals may struggle to understand the court proceedings. They may struggle to work with their attorney in their own defense. They also are frequently homeless. They also dont have the resources to get out on bail or they dont meet the criteria to get on their own recognizance. So, its about 125140 day that these individuals are incarcerated more than those without Mental Illness. Most of the individuals with Mental Illness, that 14 , to have a Substance Abuse disorder. About 80 of the general population has a Substance Abuse disorder. If courts are going to incarcerate individuals that have mental dullness, the facilities need to be safe, they need to be humane, and they need to have places that people can be treated. They need housing areas that are safe, dormitory housing doesnt work for folks that have Mental Illness. Imagine someone thats having a manic episode that may stay up all night talking loudly, singing loudly, cleaning their so imagine how that would go over with other inmates trying to sleep in their dormitory setting. So, they need single cell or two person housing. We need treatment space, both for individuals treatment that meet compliance so private space where the clinician can sit with the client and hear the clients concerns, work with the client that is visible to the custody staff but the custody staff cant hear whats being said. Its also very important that we group rooms. Thatll be what we call therapy rooms so that the individual can roam around. Socialize, when theyre in jail, and learn how to socialize, learn how to cooperate and be in treatment so they can be successful when theyre in community. People that are housed in direct supervision jails generally do better. Jail is the huge risk for suicide and i dont know how many of you have looked at county jails three and four but there the old vail bar jails, though, it kind that you see in the movies. Its hard for the deputies to view inmates are housed in those type of jails. Its hard for the deputies to interact with inmates are housed in those shares. Its hard for psych staff to go in and work with her mill you helping them socialize, helping them become healthier. So, direct supervision jails are very very important to this population. People with Mental Illness and the jail are up a vulnerable population, and they need to be safe in a jail. Staff who treat them also must be safe in a jail. If a jail help staff is it in an area setting oneonone with an inmate with no window, which does happen, its not safe to be sitting with that individual. In county jail five, i dont know if youve seen it. Its been its the newest jail that the symphysis go Sheriffs Department has, we currently have whats called a psychological sheltered living units. In that psych staff in their everyday working with those individuals, working with them in group sessions, working with them oneonone and working with them as they socialize with each other, including playing games, watching television, anything thats going to help them learn how to be in a setting with other people could we have also found that the general population, the mill you setting, helps staff morale. Its very important that you want to a staff that wants to go to work, that theyre compassionate about what they do and that happens at county jail five. At county jail four and county jail six there is currently insufficient treatment space. There is no interview rooms. Theres no group rooms. This no office space for staff. When people work in a jail they must have access to computers and two telephones him and to private space where they can keep confidential records. At county jail four and county jail six this limited access to jim and most of the literature shows that people who are depressed, benefit from physical activity. Its very important that people with any kind of Mental Health issue be able to access jim, access physical activity. Thank you ms. Robbins guy politicking becomes increasingly unfair as presenters, after realizing work him and him close to an hour now with only gone through four of our seven presenters. So just for the sake of time i knew you presented this information yesterday budget committee, and i really appreciate your perspective again today. Actually, i know from supervisor breed and myself i think this is one of the key aspects that we want to explore the most and we talk about rebuilding the jail. I said this yesterday, but the Stanford Law School and California State Senate pro tem Gerald Steinberg came out with the board asking when the prisons become acceptable Mental Health care facilities . I think the there was summarize the report in the back. Thank you for bringing it. Its a really big question. I think increasingly we as a Society Actors here in San Francisco, are relying on prisons and jails as the solution to the Mental Health issue that we are really struggling to address. I really want dph to play a central role in helping us really rethink what our jail system could look like and i cited some of this yesterday at the National Alliance of Mental Illness stated, at some point, 2540 of individuals across the country will at some point be incarcerated. That is a very stock number and knowing that 45 of inmates thursday prisons today are treated for Mental Health illnesses, that at close to 50 of inmates in our state prison system are treated for Mental Health issue. So, clearly, is more we can do in this arena and appreciate some of the solutions you presented in terms of what we can do to better address that issue. Thank you. Thank you. Deputy chief freeman thank you for being here and i just want to say, this charset on for decades has been a Model Department throughout the country. Really innovating and piloting some of our incredible programs around rsvp, restorative justice, and many other programs that have helped prevent recidivism. So i want to acknowledge the sheriffs apartment really innovative work on that. Supervisors, good morning. Its a pleasure to be here to get my name is matt freeman on the chief Deputy Sheriff in charge of the Custody Operations Division city and county of San Francisco sheriffs office. The pleasure to be here today to have the opportunity to briefly speak with you regarding the rehabilitation detention facility project otherwise known as all justice placement jail project. We are also here today to talk you about aarp released by the board of state and Community Corrections pursuant to 863. Replacement of the h linder hall justice judge that a top priority on the state capital plans since 2006. Jeffs apartment has been working with several city agencies as part of the justice facilities Improvement Project since 2008. As you know, the justice facility proven project calls for the relocation of all all justice tenants. Constructed in 1950, the building has received a seismic hazard rating of three which indicates in event of an earthquake any structural damage to the hall of justice be very severe impose appreciable lighthouses that likely would require the vacation of the building. Since 2008 bishops of honest look closely with the gel Planning Team consisting of representatives of the mayors budget office, comptrollers office, department of public works, Capital Planning committee, and Real Estate Department response to to state senate bills, senate bill 1020 and senate bill 86 in economy to obtain funding opportunities. The work of the gel Planning Group has been very collaborative. Included the input of multiple disciplines and subject Matter Experts in the bus serves as a good example with the city cannot publish them we Work Together on large projects such as this. Some 30 years before the implementation of state realignment in october of 2011 the sheriff deponent is fully embraced and been a leader in the delivery of in custody in a programming that seeks to address the underlying grid of actors that played offenders by offering some of the most innovative evidencebased programs in existence today. We publish this via our professional team of staff to include Deputy Sheriffs, chairs program and rehabilitation coordinators, jill help clinicians, jill Behavior Health clinicians, communitybased Organization Partners and through Collaborative Partnerships with greater criminal justice infrastructure to include the courts among adult probation, parole, public defender, district attorney, and the police department. The sheriff deponent believes that secure detention is not a onesizefitsall application of justice and is not necessary in every case to ensure public safety. Because of this belief, we have robust pretrial diversion and alternative to incarceration programs. In fact, on any given day it is likely that we have somewhere between 9001100 individual places observe pretrial were alternative program. As a matter fact, i think its even higher than that now. Reality is, however, many of the offenders arrested in the city and county of San Francisco are not eligible for these programs due to the seriousness of their charges. The sheriffs apartment truly believes and holds dear to live in High School Results ability to not allow incarceration time to be wasted time. We do our best to prepare inmates for successful reentry which makes the Community Healthier and safer. The Sheriffs Department innovative nature and understands fully the words of our role in the treatment of the underlying cause of criminal behavior. We will continue to work with apoptosis partners to address the needs of offenders and reduce recidivism. Because this by delivering evidencebased programming and conditions of confinement that facilitate a therapeutic environment whereby effective case management, delivery of educational curriculum, soho and Vocational Program and can thrive and is realized in our county jail facility today. Central to this effort is replacement of the age in seismic week to finish in linear jails three and four. Two primary areas with busby considering consideration of this project. The first being that count in response to our own successes in offender management in light of the information gleaned from the multiple and independent jill population forecast, the sheriff deponent seeks to reduce the overall pick count that the county jail. The second and perhaps more porn consideration are the conditions of confinement and safety of the incarcerated population. The rpf will replace two linear jails told in the late 1950s that utilize indirect supervision application and offer no ability whatsoever to deliver any programs in meaningful care to the mentally ill. The rpf will be built in watterson is using pot design and light truck supervising over significantly increasing inmate safety. The rpf will contain modern classrooms with the latest technology and activity which bolsters the ability to live or educational curriculum, programmatic content and Vocational Training. The facility will have designated reunification that offenders committing family ties. Rpf love designated housing areas those offenders with the important challenge of dealing with Mental Health issues. The conditions of combined in all justice jails are deplorable. Not reflective of the values of San Francisco. The replacement of these outdated facilities is long overdue and central to the overall approach criminal justice efforts in the city and county of San Francisco. I have a very brief slide for you that i think are very important in light of some of the earlier presentations from supervisors trust me, i will be brief was actually going to the site as your talking and went over all these points. There are couple of slides that i would like to touch on if youll indulge me for a brief moment, supervisors shifted midwicket scuba said because you did cover that was in your presentation just now. Sure. But talk about Current Operations and what the actual account situation is whats available to us. Currently, in use, counting jill two, four, and five which represents a total headcount of able to a sub 1634, when you look at the make count as of monday, july 13, we were that 70 of capacity. When you added classification factor of only 56 percentage point or pushes up over 80 of capacity. Jail number three is close since 2013. I want to remind you it was current sheriff ross who ordered the closure of episode. Facility. If we look at the future of 2020 but this exhibit would look at us and i would personal gel replacement cjthree and four are closed and we simply build nothing, we would actually have of able to us a total of 1232 jail beds. What would that mean . Just going by details jacob told me we were over 100 capacity. We were suffering from significant overcrowding, safety and security of the inmate and staff would be significantly compromised in custody programming would be severely impacted, operational costs would soar in litigation is a very likely scenario should that scenario actually take place. If we project forward to 202
