JAIL AND RELATED PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County jail continues to experience significant overcrowding of offenders over
the past several years; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff recently declared a jail overcrowding state of emergency ultimately resulting
shortly thereafter in the early release of inmates; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has established a Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council (CJCC) to explore the use of the County’s jail and alternative programs, process improvement,
and data requirements for stakeholders who impact the jail’s use, among other responsibilities; and
WHEREAS a Jail Alternatives Subcommittee and associated study group of the CJCC was established
comprised of members from the Sheriff’s Office, Circuit Court, Community Corrections, Probation
Department and other County Executive personnel (collectively referenced as ‘stakeholders’ herein) and
has met to discuss and address additional data needs for their daily decisions involving the jail’s use; and
WHEREAS the stakeholders have developed a listing of data needs and process improvements that
would serve to mitigate the jail’s use; and
WHEREAS on February 22, 2006, the Jail Alternative Subcommittee presented its recommendations for
data improvements to the CJCC; and
WHEREAS the new jail management system (IMACS) will have to be modified for an unfunded State
mandate involving a crime victims’ rights module; and
WHEREAS the IMACS will require additional funding to complete as the projections of several years ago
have proven to be short of the actual amounts now necessary to complete the project; and
WHEREAS the principal projects identified by the stakeholders are summarized below:
• Felony Plea Bind-Over Project. To improve efficiency of the felony plea program for the ten
District Courts, the Prosecutor’s Office, Circuit Court Case Management and Administrator’s
Office, and the Community Corrections Division by eliminating manual processes and redundant
data entry across entities involved so that District Courts will receive real-time information.
• Real-Time Judgment of Sentence Project. To improve efficiency for all criminal justice
stakeholders in Oakland County by eliminating delayed mainframe or manual processes currently
in place for the preparation of Circuit Court judgments of sentence or other Court orders so that
the release or transfer of incarcerated offenders, when appropriate, will be expedited, and the
cost associated with preparing and mailing orders and other documents will be eliminated.
• CJCC Business Intelligence Projects. A series of projects of a smaller dollar amount that involve:
enabling the recently adopted Circuit Court letter of agreement involving accelerated release of
inmates in an overcrowding situation; extraction of data from the State system for District Courts
(largely for non-52nd District Courts’ benefits) and other reporting needs.
• IMACS Data Warehouse Project. The development of extraction of data programs and related
efforts involving the new jail management system (IMACS) into the existing data warehouse
application for use by the stakeholders.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 25, 2006
236
• Unfunded State Mandate. The State has recently passed legislation requiring specific
requirements that will now have to be addressed by the IMACS vendor.
• IMACS Short-fall. The County secured funding for this project several years ago. The original
estimates were less than the present costs to complete the jail system. The jail system is a
critical component of the collection of data necessary for informed business decisions by
stakeholders concerning its use; and
WHEREAS a Designated Fund Balance of $1,500,000 has been created for the Jail Alternative Program
Startup.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
projects cited above and appropriates funding in support of the above projects.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County jail continues to experience significant overcrowding of offenders over
the past several years; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff recently declared a jail overcrowding state of emergency ultimately resulting
shortly thereafter in the early release of inmates; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has established a Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council (CJCC) to explore the use of the County’s jail and alternative programs and processes that might
serve to mitigate the jail’s use, among other responsibilities; and
WHEREAS a Jail Alternatives Subcommittee of the CJCC was established, comprised of members from
the Sheriff’s Office, Circuit Court, Community Corrections, Probation Department and other County
Executive personnel, and has met to discuss alternative programs for use of the jail and related
prioritization of those programs; and
WHEREAS on February 22, 2006, the Jail Alternative Subcommittee presented its recommendations to
the CJCC to support two jail alternative programs that have proven to be effective in diverting offenders
from jail; and
WHEREAS these two jail alternative programs, the Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) and Life Skills and
Employment Programs (LESP), were determined to be under-funded relative to their potential ability to
divert offenders; and
WHEREAS the ATI program places misdemeanor offenders into treatment and transitional housing
facilities directly from the jail, thereby saving jail days; and
WHEREAS the cost of the facilities used in the ATI program ranges from $14 to $43 per day which is
lower than the cost to house an offender at the jail for approximately $83 per day; and
WHEREAS the LESP is currently funded by Community Corrections under the Michigan Department of
Corrections grant and only services felony offenders; and
WHEREAS the LESP program provides for a sentencing reduction of 25% (saving 10,759 jail bed days
last year) for those inmates successfully completing the program; and
WHEREAS expansion of the LESP program through the creation of one (1) Inmate Caseworker position
in the Sheriff’s Office would facilitate the program for misdemeanor offenders and would reduce jail days;
