TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has experienced jail overcrowding problems for
the last several years mast recently resulting in several local Court
ordered and statutory early releases, and
WHEREAS in 2006 the Oakland County Board of Commissioners created the
Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) to plan, develop and
implement innovative programs to alleviate jail overcrowding, and
WHEREAS the Criminal .Justice Coordinating Council has worked closely
with the Sheriff's Department, Courts, Prosecuting Attorney and other
stakeholders in the criminal justice system to insure that cases move
as efficiently as possible, reducing delays and thus the number of jail
days, and
WHEREAS the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council has determined that
additional information is needed to identify the cost of initial
processing of inmates into the jail, and
WHEREAS the Criminal justice Coordinating Council has determined that
additional data is needed on inmates who are admitted to the jail
without a next court data and how long those inmates stay.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests that. the Department of Management and Budget and
the Sheriff's Office work together in conducting a financial ana:ysis
to determine the actual "up-front" costs of processing an inmate into
jail compared to the average daily cost per day in order tc identify
the true cost of short-term Mil stays.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the courts, Sheriff's Office and Community
Corrections develop a process to ensure that in-jail defendants have a
next court date scheduled when returning to the jail from court to
assist in reducing the pre-trial length of stay.
