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 2020, and we have replaced the age and seismically deficient hall of justice jails the revocation detention facility at 384 beds, we would have of those was a total of 1616, 1616 beds. This consistent with the controllers population forecast. This preserves inmate staff safety and the reserves in custody offender programming and treatment. I think thats very important to point out. All of justice jails have no classrooms. No Vocational Training space. Terrible inmate Child Visitation Program which is a program we hold dear and terrible of care infrastructure and you can compare that clearly with the rpf where we have an entire floor dedicated to education curriculum, Vocational Training space,. You can offer a lot of inmate programs and they are all very important, but as we move into this new direction of Vocational Training were talking about jobs. Designated inmate child Visitation Centers and stateoftheart healthcare facilities. San bruno, county jail six facility that drawn a lot of attention and perhaps rightly so in open dormitory. There are no sales. There no safety cells were those that are being thereto and 50 are placed. Theres no kitchen. Theres no laundry. There is no vehicle south reports. The stare affect funds are compromised. It was built in the late 80s in response to significant jail overcrowding and supervisor breed, a manager . What about that. Far from Family Committee and support mechanisms, the job to compare that with the rv at double occupancy cells, in San Francisco, close to the boast were very close to service providers, close to the criminal justice agencies they need to serve this population, since stateoftheart medical and Mental Health. I want to conclude once again emphasize that the Sheriffs Department does offer funded in very Robust Community programs to include pretrial alternatives, pretrial diversion, you are well young talk about that. Where account accountable homeless services. What we also 2. 0, 123based servers and alternative preservation is the current job sure if dosed in 2013 pushed legislation forward to expand the use of pretrial electronic monitoring, which further is evidence to the commitment of this agency to pretrial alternatives and alternatives to incarceration. Sheriff has been an advocate of vale performed something that has been talked about here today and supervisors like dui data sheet that gives you a complete breakdown of what the current bail statuses for every inmate is in the
