BY: Public Services Committee, Frank H. Millard, Chairperson
IN RE: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS - IMPLEMENTATION OF A DEFINED RETAIL
FRAUD LONG-TERM RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR MISDEMEANANT OFFENDERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Community Corrections Division is charged with creating
alternative programs to incarceration for non-violent offenders; and
WHEREAS, the State does not currently provide funding for misdemeanant offenders
especially for long term residential substance abuse care; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Jail continues to be over utilized for the incarceration of
non-violent misdemeanants; and
WHEREAS, the Felony Threshold was recently changed by the Michigan Legislators and
raised from $100 to $1,000, resulting in a significant increase of Retail Fraud cases being handled
at the District Court level; and
WHEREAS, when appropriate intervention, treatment and reintegration strategies are not
incorporated, studies have proven that the likelihood of re-offending increases; and
WHEREAS, studies have proven that incarceration alone does not deter future criminal
behavior; and
WHEREAS, when reduce or no term of punishment is coupled with appropriate treatment
strategies, studies have indicated a reduction in recidivism between 25 - 60%; and
WHEREAS, the District Court Judges/ Probation agents do not have the resources available
for these offenders in need of long term residential care; and
WHEREAS, by implementing an Alternative Incarceration Center for Misdemeanor Retail
Fraud offenders, the County will save at least One Hundred and Sixty Two Thousand dollars
($162,000) in reduced costs ($43 per day for A.I.C. versus $78 per Jail day).
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Community Corrections Division is requesting
that the Board of Commissioners requests that the Michigan Department of Corrections allow
Oakland County to access under utilized felony Alternative Incarceration Center beds for specified
Retail Fraud misdemeanant offenders.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Community Corrections Division is also requesting
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) from the Board of Commissioners for the
implementation of a defined Retail Fraud long term residential program for misdemeanant offenders.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
