prison system that we have the house in the county jail. the impact of this will happen sooner. it will happen and the adult probation -- they will have to be more impacted by this. what we see occurring, if we do not expand the community programs, we will see them early on, maybe as early as january. as soon as this may be happening. there are nimble -- a number of people in the county jail sentence to this, with the community program because of certain factors, the may have orders to stay away. these are people we are inclined not to let out. we have to have the full operation of the little jail.
1:01 pm
this would take us through july of 2012. this is the 77 people, -- >> i did not hear a gender breakdown. i do not know if we have any more details. >> this is 11% women. this is part of the state population. we would see capacity and we could continue to use the programs and this is conservative and we hope that we did have many more.
1:02 pm
this would be in 2012, later on in the year. this is the program for about a year, after we see the start of the realignment process. those are the best guesses, and as far as the revenue, there is some associated with this, but you are looking at about a 60% return. they will give you the state formula, 25,000 for six months. $25,000 for the long term as well. 18 months. the costs run a little bit higher than the state, and we expect to see a 51% return rate.
1:03 pm
this will start to go up, we do know that this will offset the impact on the county. there will be some of these and on the other side, we will generate the revenue by holding people who are being revoked. they are waiting to be picked up by the department of corrections. so, they are giving and taking and will come out ahead. if this is secured to the constitutional amendment. the other big cost, in terms of the sheriff's department is the
1:04 pm
expansion of programs. this is part of the electronic monitoring did not exist at that time. the expanded use, this is doing some checking with the -- this is the first when they answer the phone. there under the state grant. there are parole violators, and those drug cases, they may be counting prisoners.
1:05 pm
this is the best and least please -- least expensive. >> can you single out any program that would be the most to deal with, you mention this because they are monitoring. which started doing this research. we are doing other checks. most shares department -- departments will rely on monitoring, because this is a sophisticated technology. there are larger number of people out in the community.
1:06 pm
and that some time, the capacity issues will be affected on the back end. the front end becomes a problem. the sheriff has no -- getting people out on the pre-trial is going to be something that will have to be addressed at some time in the future. many attempts were made to get people out and this included many different people, in order to accomplish this. there is the super based -- supervise project release. they are trying to identify a larger group of people.
1:07 pm
we have the supervision of the sheriff, of course. and there are six months of potential problems. this will be a population that will impact the jails. the sheriff has no authority on us. they are waiting on the court order to do something. they will see this there as well. i will answer your questions. >> i want to thank you, very much for a very thorough report. thank you to the sheriff's department, this is very much appreciated. i would like to thank anyone else -- if you have public comment.
1:08 pm
another any comments that you would like to make? >> we have all been meeting. you have the majority of the situation. we are starting to engage. >> according to what was said earlier, this was found with the partnership consortiums. >> this is up -- this is evolving very quickly. >> i appreciate this update. this is deeper than a snapshot, and i would like to open up to public comment? and if there is any public comment, please step forward.
1:09 pm
>> i am linda connely, the leader of a community-based organization and i have been providing this in san francisco for 30 years. over the last three decades, we have seen a lot of changes in criminal justice. the jail programs have been unique, for the whole country. we entered the council, bringing together the different stakeholders that touch the lives of the offenders. and revitalizing -- the new chief is bringing in other factors that we all need to look at. the bottom line is that we still have a big problem. and we're talking about how we will address this. this is a golden opportunity to
1:10 pm
make substantive change. the tendency is to rely on incarceration because this is the easiest thing to do. and yet, there are so many good, community-based organizations in san francisco, that i hope that we will take a big picture about what we're going to do for all of the criminal justice probation. i would like to include them at the table, including the councils will be working on these plans. we're very committed to making a successful system in san francisco. it is important to get the maximum return for what we spend on developing this system. i am happy to help in any way. >> very much appreciated. police stepped up.
1:11 pm
-- please step up. >> looks like she ran out of money. jail looks like they too khk her friend. that county again. he stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time. the county is changing or maybe it just stopped trying. but it feels like its too late. though you really tried hard to make it. then the money died. and all you want is money. in san mateo county. there are things even more important.
1:12 pm
how perfect can you get. and if you see me walking down the city street. walk on by. walk on by. make believe that you don't see the tears that are in my eyes. and i wanted to make it in this city. >> thank you. next public comment. >> my name is wayne garcia. vice president of programs for walden house. he made a statement about needing to get ready. we are ready. we have overseen criminal justice for well over 20 years.
1:13 pm
now she is in san francisco with a female offender program, we are very concerned. we have set up the state -- prison for women, and we are concerned about public safety, and about the resources for the population. i doubt that they will get the $200 that was brought up earlier. desperate times call for desperate measures. you do not have the resources or the shelter, the resources to change the life. we have the san francisco sheriff's department and an excellent program, where the females would have a share scroll.
1:14 pm
this was something to consider. and the individuals coming into treatment, this would change the size of the caseload. they are not running around the streets looking for the parolees. the systems are designed or every couple of hours, we're checking to see that the individual is there. we did tell county probation if they are not there. the system is intact. with monitoring bracelets, -- we have the curriculum and the evidence-based practices. we welcome this. the san francisco sheriff's department called us. we are the first to respond and we want to provide hope for this population. >> i would like to talk to you
1:15 pm
after this hearing. and is there any other public comment? public comment is closed. i want to thank everyone from the city family, and from the network that is here. thank you. supervisor, what do we not continue this? do you have anything further? >> i know that we will return to this topic in the not so distant future, for all the reasons that have been articulated, and we look forward to having a more refined report. the meeting is adjourned.

of whom reference the works of the civil-rights movement in their works, but they are also responding to a new cultural concerns and new cultural circumstances. >> the works in the show include a large canvas depicting a woman washing the beach with her hair at the u.s./mexican border. the painting encourages the viewer to engage with the current debates over immigration and the politics of women and labor. influenced by the campaigns of the chicano civil rights movement, this oakland artist is a print maker whose work has helped and sustainability with the immigrant community as well as other current sociopolitical issues. this print-based work draws on appropriated agricultural worker manuals and high fashion labels to satirically address class issues, cultural identities, and consumerism. >> angelica -- her father was an

agricultural worker, so she has drawn a lot from the materials the agricultural department sends to agricultural workers, referencing the depiction of farm workers and some of the information about pesticide application. >> mitzi combines a variety of media, including embroidery, to create artifacts of mexican, chicano, pop culture. she greets immensely detailed drawings of celebrities on the same platform of her friends and families. her work combines elements of chicano portraiture and low writer art, rendered in upon new art style, or intricate drawings on handkerchiefs, also -- often associated with prison art. her portrait of three girls is among several of original posters by the exhibition artists, which are on view at various bart stations as part of
1:23 pm
a public campaign funded by the national endowment of the arts. from the outset, the curator felt it was important for the exhibition to have a public art components of the work could reach the widest possible audience. more than just a promotion, the posters connect the work of these powerful artists with new audiences, including the vital chicano and latino community. images can be found in bart stations located in san for cisco and oakland. >> it is enormously exciting for me personally and for the institution. the poster with up right after new year's, and i remember very vividly -- i am a regular rider, and i went into the station and saw the first poster i had seen, it was incredibly exciting. it is satisfying to know that through the campaign, we are reaching a broader audience. >> for more information about
