1. Realignment: The Role of the BSCC and the Composition of Local Detention Facilities Patricia Mazzilli, Executive Director Board of State and Community Corrections Kasey R. Stevens, Research Specialist Board of State and Community Corrections Mazilli, P., & Stevens, K. R. (2012, October). Realignment: The role of the BSCC and the composition of local detention facilities. Still, W. Realignment year one: How does it measure up? State perspectives. Panel presentation conducted at the meeting of the Association for Criminal Justice Research (California), Huntington Beach, California.

2. Senate Bill (SB) 92 (2011) Effective July 1, 2012, Senate Bill (SB) 92 established the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC). 2

3. SB 92 (2011) Abolished Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) Established the BSCC as CSA successor – As an independent entity – Reports directly to the Governor’s Office Transferred the powers/duties of CSA to BSCC Reduced number of Board members to 12 9 appointed by Governor, 1 by Judicial Council,1 by Senate Rules, and 1 by Assembly Speaker 3

4. Our New Mission “ As an independent entity we are to provide statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to promote effective state and local efforts and partnership’s in California’s adult and juvenile criminal justice system, including providing technical assistance and coordination to local governments relating to realignment.” 4

5. CSA Transferred Duties Functions within four divisions: 1.Facilities (FSO) Inspections, Regulations, Compliance Monitoring County Detention Facility Construction Projects 2.Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) Selection Training and Standards 3. Corrections Planning and Programming (CPP) Criminal and Juvenile Justice Grant Programs 4.Administration and Research Data Collection and Analysis 5

6. Data Collection Next Steps Development of a plan to fulfill BSCC information gathering role re: realignment Broad in scope Focused on impact of Public Safety Realignment across the system 6

7. New Responsibilities for BSCC SB 92 Data collection and analysis – Develop baseline and ongoing data collection processes related to AB 109 (2011) further defined by SB 1022 (2012) as: Dispositions of felony offenders Post-release community supervision Collect Community Corrections Plans – Analyze data re: implementation of county plans – Provide annual report to the Governor and Legislature 7

8. BSCC Realignment Data Proposal Fiscal Impact How are funds being used? – By whom? – For whom? – For what purpose? What is the impact at state level? What is the impact at local level? How do fiscal impacts differ from county to county? Are differences related to county policies, resources, desired outcomes? 8

9. BSCC Realignment Data Proposal Impact on Public Safety Safety of the public at large Safety of those who serve and protect Need data from variety of sources – State and local arrest data – Victim data – Jail incident data – Other Examine longitudinal trends Examine relationship between safety and local polices and practices 9

10. BSCC Realignment Data Proposal Impact on County Operations Meaningful assessment must include impact from and on many other local agencies: – Social services – Health and mental health – Substance abuse – Housing – Job training – Community-based organizations – Faith-based organizations Capture information on how counties adapt to new challenges 10

11. BSCC as a Resource to Local Government and Programs Unique opportunity to capture and share county- provided information Evidence-based practices available for sentencing, facility design and staffing, programs and services Need to accumulate, organize, distribute information on evidence-based practices Share information used by established authorities (Stanford Law, Community Partnership for Excellence, Public Policy Institute) Work with partner agencies to provide training opportunities on “Best Practices” (CPOC, CSAC, CSSA, AOC, DOJ, etc.) 11

12. 12 Realignment and the Composition of Local Detention Facilities

13. BSCC Data Sources for Local Detention Facilities Jail Profile Survey – information on 40+ jail-system variables – in use since 1996 – data collected monthly and quarterly AB109 Jail Survey – information on realignment offenders – implemented in April 2012 – data collected monthly – collect data retroactive to October 2011 Data Collection – surveys developed by representative committees – voluntary data collection – data elements that can be collected by all counties 13

14. AB109 Jail Survey: Data Elements Penal Code Section 1170(h) Number of offenders sentenced to local custody Number of offenders released to alternative custody programs (ACPs). Number of offenders in ACPs returned to custody 14 Post Release Community Supervision Number of offenders booked on a PC3454(c) flash incarceration only Number of offenders booked during the month for a supervision violation Number of offenders booked with new local charges Number of offenders serving time as a result of a revocation hearing

15. AB109 Jail Survey: Data Elements State Parolees – Penal Code Section 3056 Number of persons booked on a PC 3056 parole violation only Number of parole violators serving time as a result of a revocation hearing Number of parole violators booked with new local charges Number of parole violators serving a new local sentence 15

16. Status of AB109 Jail Survey Data Collecting data on a monthly basis Quality Review Process - ensure the quality and accuracy of the data set – continuous internal review – data review workgroup: collaboration with CSSA, CPOC, CDCR, DOF, and CSAC comparisons with other realignment data sources understand differences and similarities and when possible resolve differences Release when BSCC and the data review workgroup are confident in the quality and accuracy of the data set. 16

17. Jail Profile Survey Composition of local detention facilities statewide – average daily population (ADP) – total number of bookings – non-sentenced and sentenced ADP – felony and misdemeanor ADP – early releases due to lack of capacity – average length of stay (quarterly) Does not break down the variables into the three types of AB109 offenders (1170h, PRCS, or parole) Data available through June 2012 Included BSCC rated capacity based on inspection cycle 17

18. Rated Capacity, Total ADP, and Bookings 18 Realignment

19. Total ADP: Oct.-Jun.10/11 and Oct.-Jun. 11/12 19 RC = 77,492

20. Non-Sentenced and Sentenced ADP 20 Realignment

21. Non-Sentenced and Sentenced ADP: Oct.-Jun.10/11 and Oct.-Jun. 11/12 21

22. Non-Sentenced and Sentenced ADP: Percent of Total ADP 22

23. Felony and Misdemeanor ADP 23 Realignment

24. Felony and Misdemeanor ADP: Oct.-Jun.10/11 and Oct.-Jun. 11/12 24

25. Felony and Misdemeanor ADP: Percent of Reported ADP 25

26. Early Releases Due to Lack of Capacity 26 Realignment

27. Average Length of Stay 1 27 Realignment 1 Some counties are unable to provide average length of stay data. The statewide average is based on the counties that provided data.

28. Trends in Composition of Local Detention Facilities Increasing Total ADP Increasing sentenced ADP; slight decrease in non- sentenced ADP Increasing Felony ADP; slight decrease in misdemeanor ADP Increasing early releases, but in line with trends back to 2006 Too short of a time period to see trends in average length of stay 28
