10:37 am
department and joel robison from the department of public health so to bring forward i guess the topic of the resolution it is an action before you on the matter of advancing the project pertaining to its consideration for state funds as well as the environmental clearance ceqa approval of this resolution, however as you know didn't constitute an actual approval of the detention projection we're seeking to bring the matter to closer at the full board at stake is the cities opportunity to earn up to million dollars in funding from the state to defray the costs to the city of this project thank you. >> just a quick bit of
10:38 am
background the h o.j. is a systemic facilitated r5i9sdz hr 33 effectively should there be a large earthquake in the near future that is expected it will not be fundamental four reuse it has been a project in the capital plan since 2006 your offer arching strategy the facility improvement program is meant to vacate all folks currently in the hall across a span of time soornz it is driven in part certainly by the unsuitable conditions at the hall for a facility built a lot of 60 years ago and didn't represent the most save and secure or supportive environment in which to house our inmates so
10:39 am
the status of program we've roengd the police headquarters away from the hall of justice and underway with other projects that vacate the hall the chief examiners facility will be relocated and they're beginning design we've also updated once again the controllers cast for the needs which is the key determinate of the other characteristics and finally the planning commission did upheld unanimously the negative declaration at their last meeting senate bill 863 is a considerable opportunity for the city to seek relief from the funding of this project up to million dollars for large
10:40 am
counties as you recall we applied for the senate bill funding the funding mechanism that was aimed as alexander capacity to jails to anticipate the impact of the redirection of inmates to county 863 in contrast replaces derelict facilities for enhanced programs and treatment services for inmates as a result we believe our proposal is promising and this is the reason we're here application is due august 28th and the state make its decision in november we would again seek to get the fund for this project for the co p in november or december of
10:41 am
this year just a quick snapshot of the campus, if you will, the san francisco and sgrn sites it is confusing the jails have changed a few minds jails one and 2 the new facility it fronts the highway jails three and four are at the top of hall of justice and jails 5 and 6 are located in san bruno 6 is the facility that was decommission a few years ago as a minimum security facility with that i'm going to turn it over to kyle patterson that will offer the information. >> good morning, supervisors kyle patterson with the controller's office i'll speak that about the jail update as
10:42 am
you can see the chart on the presentation is the population since 1980 and 93 the population dropped and over the past 5 years a steep drop if the population that steep drop is misleading the jail population has dropped 7 to 8 percent that will not continue over the past 3 nature years over policy shifts we've seen the jail population undertaken this is the monthly daily average the shaded blue areas is the impacted and this is - on the left does the jail population drops but 2011 that is the realignment and the next slide we're looking oh there's a slide missing it will show in
10:43 am
2014 there is a very flat trend in the jail population stated around 13 hundred in proposition 47 passed that downgraded felons to misdemeanors it dropped to hundred and 50 but 2015 we've seen an increase in the population in january, the population was hundred and 50 and as far advertised in the middle 12/hundred it is increased by a hundred folks in 2015 this slide shows our forecast in two scenarios in the used of county jail 6 but in somewhere one if you assume it actuating 6 can be used our forecasts suggests not a need for a replacement jail but we suggested it is between hundred and 20 and 93 beds it is for a
10:44 am
worth mentioning the historic lows in the jail population even today, we'll need a replacement jail this is actuating of this is at the bottom left of the slides a photo ever county jail 6 in san bruno at 79 hundred plus beds basically looks like a big jiem the sheriff's department feels you can only house safely inmates within that facility i've spoken with other professionals without experience in san francisco and the state that says potentially you could house memory security inmates that's really a big question, however, if county jail 6 is to be a initially facility we have to house our medium inmates
10:45 am
we'll have other to speak there are major problems there recent one classroom there that makes it difficult for the sheriff's department to provide redistribution programming and no space for mental health treatment and can't provide mlk in that facility there is significant transportation costs involved we have to transport inmates to and from san francisco and the facility is so far away from san francisco that low income families will have a difficult time to meet with the incarcerated folks the facility has been closed for 5 years there recent significant repairs that needs to be made and in addition there are new construction needed so if we were to build a replacement facility next to the hall of justice that includes other
10:46 am
facility like port and the warrant office if we don't build something next to the hall of justice and use the san bruno jail we have to use those facilities elsewhere the jail is in san bruno that will be done in san bruno met with opposition from the community that related in delays and cost overruns i'm going to turn it over to chief dpw matt friedman from the sheriff's department good morning, supervisors 8th district at large have got to see you i'm matt friedman a chief deputy smef for the san francisco county we want to give information the sheriff's department is current averaging 56 blocking bookings a day we have alternatives to crackers and at this snapshot 49 percent
10:47 am
is in all of the elements with incarceration if so the sheriff's electronic monitoring an issue of bail has been discussed we want to provide you with information as of today some 45 percent of those in the custody of the sheriff's department are in no bail status pursuant to the court not eligible for jail the jail is overwhelmingly of those charged with felons some 88 percent in the actuating have felony charges we want to talk about the classification which many times can be maximum security and medium and minimum security inmates but goes to the types of inmates in the jail and our need to integrate r segregate those
10:48 am
populations the rattling we say glancing ganlz in the jails we think of sexually vibrant perpetrators to safely and schuler operate a system those groups must be kept separate for the staff and others sheriff's department is proud of the hosted programming we offer one of the things we think that is generously needed in the sheriff's department in san francisco we cover 3 areas not just one we run the actuating but not limit our program offensive to those in in custody as you can see we have custody post sentence but with the array with the pretrial
10:49 am
diversification and electronic monitoring for accountable services and the processes but we want to draw your attention to the green column the into custody programming that is nationally recognized as successful evidence based practices trial a effective component of a larger criminal justice strategy aimed at religiously recidivism but the important thing to take away the host of into custody programming the green column we can't offer in the current hall of justice jails because in 1958 when those jails were built the into custody jails were not on radar so the infrastructure doesn't allow for that is important and picking i didn't backing off the
10:50 am
programming it is realized in the data we've x twrakd in 89 earlier dablts tells you that recidivism has dropped by 20 percent for the offend's everyone in the city and county of san francisco is a be proud of a little bit about the actuatings three and four the indirect springs model of the springs you'll see a classroom as the a shower room on the sixth floor we didn't want to be thartd in our efforts we converted to a classroom the awe enthusiasts are terrible in connectivity and no wifi and the
10:51 am
course offers in those classrooms are limited to say the least you're looking the mainline of the county jail of the hall of justice a linear destine 12 inmates to a tank the things that is not good about this type of jail the architecture design is the indirect supervision the deputy sheriff is not in a pod where they have a hundred percent sidelines maintaining ownership of the real estate for insuring the safety for all in the incarceration and corrections work we need to leads to litigation is failure to deliver health care to the incarcerated population working with the dpw partners we take that seriously as well you see a picture of the infirm on the 7th floor of the hall of justice it is retail to 4
10:52 am
hundred inmates one bed for treatment of the inmates and no room for the nursing staff to do charting and prepare their pill carts it is inadequate there are pictures the detention model it is county jail 5 we think is benchmark for the proper way to do things you'll notice a classroom an education corridor we'll match that education corridor is used everyday by the embedded peace charged this is the opportunity to obtain they're high school diploma this education corridor arrivals the nicest high school we are proud we have two graduations and this is successful and want to model it
10:53 am
in the r d if you see a picture of the pod the direct aspirins in county jail number 5 a pod that hoeltdz 48 contemplates we embed a sheriff with this 24/7 with the problematic content is offered in those pads and recreation is embedded in those pod that is the model of the 21st century this is the r d if was it allows and the medical county jail number 5 we are alp holding cells for arrivals and depafrnz the sheriff's department didn't have to send the inmates 0 out for hospitalizations we say a full scale dental area and pharmacy
10:54 am
we feel those inmates get topnotch health care that is in partnership with 9 dpw we're proud of it at this time i'll i'm going to turn it over to joel and thank you, supervisors for letting me address you today thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you chief and good morning. i'm jill robison the director of the health services store the department of public health prior to this position i was the director of jail behavorial health care shivers for over 20 years in any jail approximately 11 to 17 percent of the individuals have a serious mentally ill and that is extended as someone having a psychic like schizophrenia or a major meadow disorder like bipolar one snapshot done two weeks ago
10:55 am
showed that 14 percent of our inmates were approximately hundred and 70 individuals have a serious mental illness individuals that that have serious mental illness stay in custody longer man the general population that is due to several factors one is sometimes their challenged with the procedures or unable to corporate with their lawyer and others they don't have the means to bail they also might not have meet the criteria for being released on thaip their own cognizance they stay hundred 25 to hundred 40 days longer than than not those with the mental illness most of the individuals that are s m i have a drug abuse disorder i saw two
10:56 am
men and women inmates that had a serious mental illness and didn't have a the disorder in the general 80 percent of individuals will have some kind of substance abuse disorder when jails are designed it is essential to build them with heartache in mind it is unfortunately people with health issues and people with serious mental illness have been courtyard and he need to make sure that the services are priority for those individuals as you saw from the see difference between the old jails the linearal bar jails viruses the new jails the new jails makes it easier for the staff to
10:57 am
monitor for suicide preservation and being in jail is a crisis for anyone it enters the jail so the risk of suicide it higher than the general population also people with mental health health disorders are distrust of others if they have bipolar and mannic they'll have trouble sleeping imagine someone with masking because of their disease are up all night talking allowing or cleaning how well, that goes over with other inmates so designing a jail with health in mind makes sure that people are primarily and safely houlsz when their incarcerated title 15 which is the states requirements for mental jail standards requires that health
10:58 am
and that includes mental health be conducted in a community standard what that means the types of service we provide in a community outpatient setting it the types of we provide in custody that means that intruf rooms needs to be confident and that means there needs to be safe confidential spaces for group therapy one of the best things we do for inmates living help to resocial lists them to how to live with other individuals and this is done through treatment through a mental health staffing in cooperation with the sheriff's department working together to help people understand how their interactions effect those around
10:59 am
them so again the free flowing kind of area is essential in designing a jail talked a little bit about safety with the appropriate housing it is also very important that staff feels save in a jail we want to make sure we get qualified staff that like to come to work and feel like their supported in providing those essential services to a vulnerable population and county jail 5 which is the new generation that friedman showed again where we have our psychological shelter unit with group spaces and allows treatment space it allows us to do individual treatment in that setting it allows inmates to be safely housed to be housed one
11:00 am
or two contaminate depending on their needs and classifications one of things staff are much more satisfied with their jobs than any other facility at county jail 4 and six the hall of justice and the jail in san bruno currently not furnishing their noted set up for treatment staff to work with individuals with mental illness most of the rooms in the hall of justice setting are dormitory style housing squaller looking out the mainline it is very difficult for deputies to routinely glance and see inmates to scombakt with the inmates and make sure in their save and not feeling cancel the deputies are in there integrating interacting
