Introduction/ Background
Public Act 511 (P.A. 511), the Community Corrections Act of 1988 provides funding
for community based corrections programs to be administered by local Community
Corrections Advisory Boards.
The goals of the Community Corrections Act are to encourage local communities to:
* Reduce the number of admissions to prison of non-violent offenders, and
* Improve the appropriate utilization of jail facilities without a demonstrable
increase to the risk of public safety and within the context of effective,
community based programming (P. A.511, Section 8.4).
In order to be eligible for Community Corrections Act funding, programs shall work
with offenders who:
* Are bound for prison (especially with sentences of less than 24 months) or bound
for jail without program intervention within the context of the Michigan
Sentencing Guidelines, and
* Have not demonstrated a pattern of violent behavior and do not have a criminal
record which indicates a pattern of violent offenses (P. A. 511, Section 4, 8.2a) .
Oakland County formally established its local Community Corrections Advisory Board
(OCCCAB) in January 1990 (Appendix A). Its' mission and purpose is to fund local
programs that: provide alternatives to incarceration that are community based;
protect the public; meet the needs of offenders; are considerate of victim impact;
and prove efficient as well as effective. The OCCCAB believes Community
Corrections is a viable sentencing alternative to incarceration.

E),:hibit A
Problems/Purpose •
Currently and historically, Oakland County sends fewer felony offenders to the state
prison and uses its jail for sentence felony offenders more than any other county in
the state. In addition, Oakland County has for a long time used local community
based criminal justice programs. These include community service, jail work
release, residential substance abuse and employment programs, electronic
monitoring, and state and local boot camps.
Nevertheless, use of the Oakland County Jail has been an important component in
keeping the prison commitment rate consistently lower than the State average.
However, this has not been without important consequences namely, jail
overcrowding. Consequently, the OCCCAB recommends expanding existing, as well
as, creating new programs in the jail that lead to effective and safe early release.
By using the limited jail resources for offenders who are most likely a threat to
public safety it is envisioned that a jail overcrowding crisis can be averted. Such
a crisis could result in mandated release of inmates.
Target Population/Non-Violent Offenders
The Community Corrections Plan provides for the targeting of a substantial portion
of the jail population. Non-violent offenders (18,026) comprised 74.5 percent of the
jail population (24,193), for calendar year 1990, as identified in Graph A.
The non-violent offender population at the jail may be categorized into four crime
groups. The percentage of each crime group relative to the non-violent offender
population at the jail is identified in Graph B. Non-violent crimes are all offenses •
except those in the robbery, homicide, assault, and criminal sexual conduct
categories (per sentence guidelines).

Exhibit A
Public Safety , • ,. . . .
With respect to the critical issue of maintaining public safety, it is perhaps best to
quote Judge Alice Gilbert:
"The "Plan" is an effort to improve the quality of criminal justice for eligible jail
and/or probation bound offenders who do not have a criminal record which
indicates a pattern of violent offenses and who have not demonstrated a pattern
of violent behavior. The "Plan" offers an expansion of sanctions and controls
available for Judicial action. Importantly, offender placement or involvement in
any program depends on judicial decision where both prosecution and defense can
express concerns about public safety and program placement."
Further, the OCCCAB recognizes that the impact of crime on victims is an important
problem. Therefore, the Board will request that all programs funded with community
corrections dollars incorporate a victim awareness treatment component for
offenders.
Proposed Programs
The plan proposes a few new programs. However, the majority , of program
recommendations center on enhancement and expansion of existing programs which
have received prior policy approval and are deemed to have demonstrated program
effectiveness.
New Programs
* Programs for male and female jail trustees - Successful completion of these fifty-
six day programs will result in suspension of the balance of the sentence to be
served.
Enhanced Programs
* Sheriff's Boot camp (RIDP) - Expand participation from 200 to 300 in military
style regimen program resulting in early release.
* Pretrial Services - Increase pre-trial staff to increase and expedite bond
investigations. Also continue existing pre-trial supervision programs at local
district courts.
* Community Service - Continue student program and add staff member to
community service program. The objectives are first, to increase the number of
4
offenders who perform community service in lieu of jail and second, reduce the
number of offenders who drop oUt of COmmunity service and are subsequently
charged with probation violation.
Continuing Programs
* Substance Abuse Services - Fund short term inpatient treatment for select
probationers who test positive for drug or alcohol use.
* Employment Services - Continue employment training and placement for offenders
who are not served by other existing public programs.
Please refer to Appendix B for detailed program descriptions.
Program Impact
The success of the Community Correction Plan will be measured in large part by the
impact of the programs on reducing the number of jail days served by non-violent
offenders. Table I provides estimates on the number of offenders to be impacted,
reduction in the number of jail days served, and corresponding avoidance of
incarceration costs from May 1, 1992, to September 30, 1992.
It is estimated that, for the period May 1, 1992, to September 30, 1992, 698 non-
violent offenders may be diverted from jail sentences to appropriate community
corrections programs, freeing up 18,928 jail days. The cost avoidance to Oakland
County as a result of this reduction in the number of jail days served is $1,202,428
as identified in Table I. On an annual basis the estimated value of jail days saved
is $2,885,828 (Table II).
Stated in a different manner, for the annual county investment of $67,298 the
combined programs should return $2,885,828 in the annual estimated value of jail
days saved.
Further, it is estimated that the proposed programs would annually yield a total
impact (as measured by reduction in jail days) of 45,426 jail days saved. This
represents an impact of approximately 8.7% of the total estimate of annual jail days
of 525,000.

APPENDIX B
I. PRE-TRIAL SERVICES (Enhanced Program)
Pre-Trial Services Workers prepare investigations on defendants in the
Oakland County Jail awaiting a court appearance where bond may be set or
reviewed. In 1991, five pre-trial workers completed some 6000
investigations. In April 1991, Pre-Trial Services began an experimental
program of pre-trial supervision ir the Troy and Southfield District
Courts. A judge may order a defendant supervised as a condition of bond.
The OCCCAB proposes adding four additional pre-trial service workers to
increase the percentage of investigations that are completed prior to
arraignment and initial bond setting. The program would also allow for the
expected increase in supervision in Troy and Southfield.
2. SENTENCING ALTERNATIVES
A. Sheriff's Boot Camp - Regimented Inmate Discipline Program (RIDP)
(Enhanced program)
RIDP is a 56 day intensive mil'itary style regimen. The program
incorporates educational and employment counselling, as well as,
pre-release planning. A counselor does post-release follow-up and
assistance for graduates. The program targets felony offenders serving six
to twelve month jail sentences for non-violent offenses. Judicial approval
is needed for participation. The balance of the jail sentence is
suspended for graduates.
115 inmates participated in 1991. The Sheriff plans 240 participants in
1992.
The OCCCAB proposes adding two positions to the RIDP in 1992 to allow
participation by 360 inmates.
B. Men's Trusty Camp Program (new program)
Based on the Sheriff's Boot Camp Model, this program proposes a fifty-six
day program of substance abuse counselling, employability training, and
education. The program provides pre-release planning and post-release
follow up. Judicial approval is necessary for participation. The balance
of the sentence is suspended upon completion.
The program targets non-violent felony offenders serving a sentence of six
months to one year at Brown Road Trusty Camp. At present approximately 130
inmates are incarcerated there. They have an average of five months
remaining on their sentence.
OCCCAB proposes adding three positions to the Sheriff's staff to
accommodate 240 participants in 1992.
C. Female Trustee Program (new program)
Based on the Sheriff's Boot Camp Model, this program proposes a fifty-six'
day program of substance abuse counseling, employability training, and
education. The program provides pre-release planning and post release
follow up. Judicial approval is necessary for participation. The balance
of the sentence is suspended upon completion.
The program targets non violent felony female offenders serving sentences
of six months to one year, as trustees at the Work Release Facility. An
average of twenty-four females are housed at Work Release. An average of
twenty are not employed. Approximately 500 female felons were sentenced to
OCJ in 1990.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS - Page two
OCCCAB proposes adding three positions to the Sheriff's staff. This would
accommodate the participation of 10 femAle offenders in 1992.
D. Community Service (Enhanced Program)
(1) Community Service in lieu of •a jail term. Felony offenders selected by
the Court may perform work at one of nearly 300 participating non profit
agencies. Offenders are screened both by the Court Community Service
Program (CCSP) and the receiving agency prior to placement. CCSP staff
follow up on placement, respond to offender or agency problems, and report
to the Probation Officer and the Court on the outcome.
In 1990, 208 offenders were referred to community service as a condition of
probation and/or in lieu of a jail term. The Court ordered anywhere from
fifty to one thousand hours of service. The OCCCAB proposes 75 additional
offenders in 1992 to serve community service in lieu of jail, for
suspension of a jail sentence.
(2) Community Service in lieu of costs and fees. The typical probationer
owes the County approximately $900 in court costs and attorney fees after
sentence. 75% of felony offenders sign affidavits of indigency and are
assigned court appointed attorneys. The Community Service Program allows
qualified indigent non violent felony offenders who cannot pay costs and
fees to do community service instead. They are credited at $5.00 per hour.
Probationers are screened, placed, and monitored by the Court Community
Service Program. A financial screen is also done. Approxim&tely 700
probationers participated in the program in 1990 or about 18% of
probationers. About 60% successfully completed the program. Of those who
failed, approximately 60% were charged with probation violation.
OCCCAB proposed continuing seven part-time student intern .assistants in the
program. The OCCCAB also proposes adding one probation officer to work
specifically with probationers ordered into community service in lieu of
jail, and Pontiac offenders. This will increase successful participation
of all offenders, and particularly Pontiac residents. Pontiac residents
have the highest indigency rate among Oakland residents. They represent
the highest failure rate in community services.
3. PROBATION PROGRAMS
A. Substance Abuse Services (Reinstate Program)
The program provides Circuit Court Probation with a part time liaison
with substance abuse agencies. The liaison assists Probation Agents in
assessing offender needs and matching the offender with one of the many
substance abuse programs in Oakland and surrounding areas.
The program also proposes funds for short term (12-30 day) inpatient
substance abuse programs for indigent probationers who test positive for
drugs or alcohol. At present out patient and long term (6 month-1 year)
treatment are readily available. Short term in patient programs are
usually filled with insured clients.
Approximately 400 probationers annually test positive for drugs or alcohol.
Some are charged with probation violation, some are placed in existing
programs. This program allows the Probation Officer a third option for
select offenders.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS - Page Three
A. Substance Abuse Services: Cont'd.
From 1988 to mid 1991 this program was funded by the Office of Community
Corrections. 71 probationers participated. 87% successfully completed
treatment. 60% successfully completed probation.
The OCCCA8 proposes reinstating this program.
B. Employment Services (Continue Program)
This program targets unemployed or underemployed felony probationers. It
provides offenders with employability training and supervised job search.
Program places offenders in a job and provides sixty day follow-up
counselling. The program targets offenders who are not able to be served
by other public employment agencies. The OCCCAB analysis found that
offenders are a low priority for public funding because of their low
success rate.
Funding for this program has been administered by the Alternative Center
(OAR). Prior to 1991, 80% of program participants were parolees or
community inmates. In 1991 the program was limited to felony probationers.
The program proposes serving 120 probationers annually. The program will
target Pontiac offenders because of the high unemployment rate in Pontiac.
The OCCCAB proposes continued funding for this program. OCCCAB also
proposes evaluation and review of services in 1992. OCCCAB expects a 75%
success rate.

person who would be exclusively dedicated to handling community service
referrals/placements from the Circuit Court and develop community work projects.
9. The OCCCAB recognizes the value and need for offenders to be gainfully employed
and currently funds an Employment Services Program. The OCCCAB will continue
to fund employment services for the remaining part of the fiscal year 1991-1992.
However, these services will be provided in conjunction with a sentence to
community service in lieu of incarceration or for offenders under Pre-trial
supervision.
10. The OCCCAB recognizes that the impact of crime on victims is an important
problem. Therefore, the Board will request that all programs funded with
community corrections dollars incorporate a victim awareness treatment component
for offenders. While the Board was unable to gather data on the impact of an
offender's criminal involvement on their family, it nonetheless recognizes that family
members, particularly children may be adversely effected. Consequently, the Board
recommends investigating and perhaps supporting pi--ograms that would impact on
the families of offenders.
The OCCCAB will continue to monitor and evaluate the need for additional programs and
resources to enhance community based corrections. Several areas of interest in this regard
include:
• District Courts: The OCCCAB has not yet explored how alternative
programs at the District Court level can be developed to impact on the
jail population. One logical target group at this level suggested by our
data are persons who are incarcerated with no onskitle/reistration
problems as their most serious charge.
• Substance Abuse Services, Employment Services (JTPA/GPAC) and
Menthl Health Services: The OCCCAB will need to assess how funded
OCCCAB programs impact upon these local services and systems.

Objectives and Priorities
Based upon the Board's commitment to Community Corrections and review of data which
consistently suggest certain needs of offenders and identified target groups of offenders, the
OCCCAB has developed the following objectives and priorities:
Objective 1: Implement an approved Community Corrections Plan.
12
Priority 1.1: Hire a full-time Community Corrections Manager with administrative support by
March 31, 1992.
Priority 1.2: Submit an approved Comprehensive Implementation Plan with time frames by
April 30, 1992.
Priority 1.3: Implement, monitor and evaluate the approved plan.
Objective 2: Impact on jail bound, non-violent P.A. 511 eligible offenders through the use of
alternative programs and sanctions that address the interrelated needs of offenders.
Priority 2.1: Pre-trial Services
Expand Pre-trial Service with s1iVel-keii/ififtb€1jAiVadd selected district courts to impact
on the unsentenced jail-bound population. The Board intends to impact on the processing of
unsentenced and sentenced offenders through the system by expanding Pre-trial Services. This
expansion will impact on:
(a) the efficient use of jail space;
(b) the information needs of decision makers (i.e., judges, attorneys, probation
department) at both District and Circuit Court levels; and
(c) the provision of services (substance abuse, employment, educational) to P.A. 511 AND
eligible offenders through screening referral, pviinlyeirpniTtflisc#1,1y/qq1794-4,7170,
loinTeriVeAtA.
Initial expansion should focus on establishing this service in the Pontiac District Court
(50th), while still maintaining existing services to the Main Jail and the Troy and Southfield
District Courts. The selection of Pontiac is due to its contribution to the unsentenced and
sentenced jail populations. However, at the present time, the Pontiac District Court has
expressed a preference for establishing its own pre-trial services organization rather than utilizing
the County's Pre-trial Services Program. The Board recommends that Pre-trial Services utilize
those resources that would have been used in the Pontiac District Court to identify eligible
candidates for supervision within the existing jailed pre-trial population.
Priority 2.2: Community Services as an Alternative to Incarceration
Use Community Service as an alternative to incarceration to impact on sentenced jail
bound offenders. This sanction should be used in conjunction with employment services for
I.
unemployed offenders.
Priority 2.3: Community Service
Expand Community Service to include the use of community work projec' ts in order to
target probationers who are at risk for violation of probation due to failure to pay court costs and
attorney fees.
Priority 2.4: Short-term Substance Abuse Treatment for Probationers
Use short-term in-patient substance abuse treatment as an alternative to jail for
probationers who continue drug use after being placed on probation. The use of short-term in-

Objective 6: Impact on the PA 511 eligible population of offenders from Wayne County
Priority 6.1: Meet with the Wayne County CCAB to discuss the utilization of P.A. 511 programs
for Wayne residents by May 1992.
Objective 7: Educate the local criminal justice community and the public about community based
corrections.
Priority 7.1: Form an Education Sub-Committee to inform the criminal justice public about the
Comprehensive Plan.
Priority 7.2: Develop and implement an Education Strategy Plan for OCCCAB by June 1992.
Objective 8: Develop a data base and information system for local community corrections.
Priority 8.1: Review description of permanent data systems and implement recommendations
(see Section 1.8).
Objective 9: Review additional uses of community based corrections by the local criminal justice
system and service delivery systems and make the necessary modifications to the Comprehensive
Plan. The priorities suggested by the review of the local system are:

Proposed Changes/Modifications in Local Policies, Practices and Procedures
1. Community Corrections Manager
The creation of the Community Corrections Manager (CCM) will be an important change
in the local system. In addition to the duties listed in the job description (see Section 1.8), the
CCM will:
(1) monitor funded programs to assure that early identification and referral of P.A. 511 eligible
offenders is occurring, and that the appropriate priority target groups are being served;
(2) have budgetary control and monitoring responsibilities for the provision of contracted
services (i.e., substance abuse, employment services); and
(3) have administrative authority over the Community Services Program for the Circuit Court.
The manager will monitor funded programs by establishing a reporting system for offenders
being served by P.A. 511 programs. In addition, the manager will coordinate a monthly *meeting
of representatives from the system's work group that is responsible for identifying, referring and
servicing priority target groups among PA 511 eligible offenders. This PA 511 work group
would include representatives from: (1) Pre-trial Services, (2) Probation Department Jail Team,
(3) Sheriffs Department (representing Inmate Services and Classification Units), (4) Probation
Department Supervisors; and (5) contracted service providers. This work group will identify
40
(60.3%) and to also have a high rate of probation. violators (68.1%). However, these violations
were typically technical (78.5%).
In general, persons placed in residential treatment are more "difficult". offenders by a
number of measures. The OCCCAB recognizes the need for structured residential
placement for this group. IriAA 61 Akidirinieivizisi &id /a/ k4f5r0/0'EttAli1 Mit/ AhAISTMV Agi'd

The purpose of this program is to provide substance abuse treatment to probationers who
continue drug use after being placed on probation_ The program provides short term (12-28 day)
in-patient treatment to indigent probationers. While both out-patient and long term in-patient
treatment are usually available to probationers, short term in-patient programs are generally
filled with "private" pay (insured) substance abusers. Therefore, indigent offenders are placed on
a waiting list for admittance. Short term in-patient programs are particulnrly suited to offenders
who are currently in out-patient prog -,rams or have participated in out-patient programs but
continue substance abuse.
The short term treatment -programs are an alternative to probation violation and jail or
prison sentences. If they had been violated, on average these offenders would have
received six months in jail. Thus the program has saved approximately 12,780 jail days
and approximately $754,020 in jail incarceration costs. The program also provides an
alternative to placement in long term substance programs. Long-term programs are available but
are generally better suited to persons with a long history of both substance abuse and personal
irresponsibility. They are also more expensive and time consuming than needed for our target
population.
Between 1983-1991, Circuit Court Probation funded substance abuse treatment for 71
offenders. More than half (53%) of these offenders received treatment for alcohol abuse whereas
40% received treatment for abusing cocaine. This program presently serves white (66%) males
(80%) with an average age of 27 years old. This program has a 87% successful discharge rate
from treatment. Since treatment, 35% (n=25) have recidivated is measured by technical
violations (n=18) and new arrests (n=7). , ;
In the fall 1991, this program received renewed funding from the OCCCAB but declined
the funds in anticipation of the availability of DOC funded bed space at the Salvation Army in
Mt._ Clemens. However, the feasibility of serving Oakland County clients outside of the
County has led to reconsideration of this decision. The Board recognizes the need for
such short term bed space and may reconsider funding this proposal.
The OCCCAB will continue to monitor and evaluate the need for additional programs and
resources to enhance community based corrections. Several areas of interest in this regard
include:
• District Courts: The OCCCAB has not yet explored how alternative
programs at the District Court level can be developed to impact on the
jail population. One logical target group at this level suggested by our
data are persons who are incarcerated with no cosititle/req -istration
problems as their most serious charge.
• Substance Abuse Services, Employment Services (JTPA/GPAC) and
Mental Health Services: The OCCCAB will need to assess how funded
OCCCAB programs impact upon these local services and systems.

- Prlority 2.1: Pre-trial Services •
Expand Pre-trial Service with sWe'rfr,LAIONiAttiltyMpFl selected district courts to impact
on the unsentenced jail-bound population. The Board intends to impact on the processing of
unsentenced and sentenced offenders through the system by expanding Pre-trial Services. This
expansion will impact on:
(a) the efficient use of jail space;
(b) the information needs of decision makers (i.e., judges, attorneys, probation
department) at both District and Circuit Court levels; and
(c) the provision of services (substance abuse, employment, educational) to F.A. 511
AND eligible offenders through screening/ referral, AM/
&We/rig-15i 64/oflefO1ac01
Initial expansion should focus on establishing this service in the Pontiac District Court
(50th), while still maintaining existing services to the Main Jail and the Troy and Southfield
District Courts. The selection of Pontiac is due to its contribution to the unsentence-d and
sentenced jail populations. However, at the present time, the Pontiac District Court has
expressed a preference for establishing its own pre-trial services organization rather than utilizing
the Couhty's Pre-trial Services Program. The Board recommends that Pre-trial Services utilize
those resources that would have been used in the Pontiac District Court to identify eligible
candidates for supervision within the existing jailed pre-trial population.
Priority 2.2: Community Services as an Alternative to Incarceration
Use Community Service as an alternative to incarceration to impact on sentenced jail
bound offenders. This sanction should be used in conjunction with employment services for
uneinployed offenders.
Priority 2.3: Community Service
Expand Community Service to include the use of community work projects in order to
target probationers who are at risk for violation of probation due to failure to pay court costs and
attorney fees.
Priority 2.4: Short-term Substance Abuse Treatment for Probationers
Use short-term in-patient substance abuse treatment as an alternative to jail for
probationers who continue drug use after being placed on probation. The use of short-term in- :.
patient treatment has effectively saved jail days while providing needed treatment for
probationers who would otherwise be ineligible for treatment.
Priority 2.5: Employment Services
Use Employment Services for P.A. 511 eligible offenders under Pre-trial Supervision or
serving a Community Service sentence in lieu ofjail. This will impact on jail bound offenders at
the front end of the system (unsentenced) as well as the back end of the system (sentenced).

Priority 7.1: Form an Education Sub-Committee. to inform the criminal justice public about the
Comprehensive Plan.
Priority 7.2: Develop and implement an Education Strategy Plan for OCCCAB by June 1992.
Objective 8: Develop a data base and information system for local community corrections.
Priority 8.1: Review description of permanent data systems and implement recommendations
(see Section 1.8).
Objective 9: Review additional uses of community based corrections by the local criminal justice
system and service delivery systems and make the necessary modifications to the Comprehensive
Plan. The priorities suggested by the review of the local system are:

Prioriiy 2.1: Pre-trial Services •
The OCCCAB will fund four positions for Pre-trial Services. The County is funding two
new positions (with a possible commitment for two more in 1992). This will increase the total
number of Pre-trial Investigators to ten. This will enable Pre-trial Services to expand coverage
in the jail to weekends as well as maintaining the existing programs in Troy and Southfield.
With this program the primary change in local policy and practice involves implementing Pre-trial
supervision. While working with judges and magistrates in local district courts, the Director of
Pre-trial Services has already established very good relations. The option of supervision has been
positively received in the 46th District Court (where the county has a satellite lock up facility).
Initial expansiOn will focus on establishing supervision for P.A. 511 eligible offenders in the
Southfield District Court (46th), while still maintaining existing services to the Main Jail and the
Troy and Southfield District Courts. Although the OCCCAB wanted to establish this service
(including supervision) in the Pontiac District Court, this was not accepted by the Chief Judge
of that Court. V B€IrkickAmiva(hith -ietimv,Adwifyhyotrytuv t 66Y1/0Y16/6/

Pre-trial Services will provide an informational link between the courts, jail and probation
agencies as well as screening, referring, and in selected cases by judicial order, conducting pre-
trial supervision.
We anticipate important informational impacts in the following areas:
1. Courts: For judges, magistrates, attorney, and prosecutors to help in setting bond;
2. Jail: For offenders who remain in jail, information will be linked with classification
to determine security risk.
3. Probation: For persons under supervision, information regarding compliance with pre-
trial supervision and program participation will be used for sentencing purposes.
All supervision cases will be monitored until final disposition by the court. If necessary,
Pre-trial Services will utilize electronic monitoring and drug testing where indicated by risk
assessment.
Pre-trial Services will screen and where necessary, refer persons for evaluation,
assessment, and programs in the areas of substance abuse, education/employment training and
mental health services. Every effort will be made to utilize existing program services.
Vocational/employment/educational referrals will be made to Oakland County's Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) Program or the Greater Pontiac Area Consortium (GPAC). Substance
abuse referrals will be coordinated with the Oakland County Office of Substance Abuse.
