and daughters they face unimaginable barriers to entry in the chance of starting over means a meaningful chance to good housing, good education, good healthcare. things that as discussed are a most impossible for the rest of us. really impossible for this extremely vulnerable population. it makes a pretty simple in reducing resident means reentry services like those we talked about pretrial diversion, and not a new jail. so, please, that many family suffering at the hands of our criminal justice system. don't build more case. let's bring people home, instead. thank you. >> hello. my name is kevin -- intern with legal services for prisoners with children. so, there's been a lot of talk today and a lot of numbers thrown about about production of the teachers future jail population but the fact is

regardless of what the most accurate estimate is, if you build a new jail it will get filled. by building a new jail you effectively kill the political pressure to find alternatives. whereas, if you don't build it you give the government an incentive to reduce the jail population. they will find a way to free people if only out of necessity. so, i like to cite one of the examples of where the pressure has went. we see weasley last week new york finally announce that due to their overburdened court system they are going to the releasing many bogus offenders regardless of their ability to pay. the debut referring of 18 million [inaudible] to pale up to 3000 low-risk event these are people being detained not based on the risk they pose to the community but rather based on the fact that they are poor and they can't pay dell. there is a high six race right in queens with the program began about six

years ago he 7% of dependence return to complete requirement. this is following many other cities that already begun to do this. we see in cities in kentucky and oregon the bar started moving away from her alliance on money bail. this keeps people from being stuck in jail and losing access to work, school, and family. things which further destabilize people and encourage them to recidivism good i guess what i'm saying, there's so many alternatives that people have opposed to you today and i think they could go on and on and on about the good bike he said at the beginning of this meeting, is a really exciting opportunity. we shall be excited about. to think we got jails would work there be is 0% resume that's clearly not the case that the really exciting opportunity by the alternatives really urge you to take. thank you. >> from the please standpoint, the criminal justice system

the offense [inaudible]. even capital punishment, like in singapore this too much personal sacrifice. [inaudible]. we'll make some sacrifice. [inaudible] for some

individuals they cannot [inaudible] i know we should struggle for true freedom [inaudible] >> thank you.

>> hello. thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak. is i to remind everyone that we are in a stark amount. are in a stark amount. historical mo there was a time when peop would debate whether or not it would be suitable to abolish institution of slavery. today at that time were as confined to the target people talk about more humane [inaudible] to that response oscar wilde in his book how should the worst slaveowners were those that were kind to

their slaves. when were talking about the creation of the mental health gel facilities in the context of mass incarceration in the context of 1.5 million black men in the context of the mass imprisonment enslavement of black people by another name, we should remember what i just talked about the mental health of people in joe's, would talk about legitimacy to a system of slavery. so, thank you >> thank you. see no further public comment i would request the close button, and at this time on his hearing. >> would you like to table or continue- >> i was going to make >> okay. no more public comment of the comment is now closed. >>[gavel] >> thank you chairman yee bawsca offer the floor to committee members to make comments and there'll be making a motion. motion to continue

the item. >> again, thank you supervisor yee for allowing us to hold this hearing. today. it was definitely very informative. clearly, a lot of very passionate people who have been actively engaged in trying to support moving toward more alternatives. i truly appreciate working with supervisor kim on this issue. it's a really important issue to me in making sure that our smart about how we address this issue in the future. i just still have not been given anything to indicate there are just really a need to just focus on the plan that the city is bringing before us. the plan to just build a jail. as far as i'm concerned it's not

sufficient. i think that i know there's been time invested. i know there's been money invested, but just because the been time and money invested, doesn't mean we have to move forward. ultimately, we have to make sure that we are thinking about the future, with thing about the actual population that we want to serve and how we can better serve them so that we can really work toward a zero recidivism rate. i know that one of the challenges that i'm experiencing is unfortunately, growing up in the city, a lot of my friends and family members were locked up good some of them are now getting out of jail looking for employment opportunity, and it not necessarily gotten a lot of support for educational opportunities, employment opportunities, while they were incarcerated. they don't want to go back to the life that they once had. when we were young. they want to work. they

want to get -- be a productive member of society but when you don't give them the tools, then you don't provide them with the support, then what happens is oftentimes sadly, people go back to what they know how to do. i don't want to see that happen. i don't want this either go in the first place, which means we have a lot of work to do in the city to make sure that the programs which we have a lot of in san francisco that are getting a significant amount of money to provide support to young people early on that they are doing their job so that we don't see our young people headed to the prison system early in the first place. sadly, this is a cycle and it's been-this is a problem in our city and has been a cycle, reports, in my family. i want to see the cycle broken. i want to see lives changed and i want to make sure that we are smart and

responsible about how we look at rebuilding a [inaudible] and i don't think building a standalone jill is the right approach. i think we had to think about again, the population. we have to think about trying to make sure that we do this right number so that we can do a better job and this is just, like i said, it's not the way. i will continue to work with the department, continue to explore alternatives. one of the alternatives that i think we should look at, this place is called the hall of justice. if we want to create a real hall of justice, and we want to look at a way in which we can completely rebuild this hall of justice so that this hall of justice does not only supports the people who work in this building supports the support systems, but also the people who await trial or the people who are waiting for pretrial

diversion, were all the other alternative programs that we ought. so, i think we need to look at building a program that supports the population that we are here to serve. i definitely want to continue the conversation and exploring alternatives, continue the conversation in making sure that we prepared a better plan. this is just not a great plan and i do think we need to really really explore alternatives that make sense for the future of our city and that really reflect our values as a city. >> so, that may wrap up my thoughts. first of all, i want to thank supervisor kim and president greed for bringing this to this committee for a hearing. i think there is a lot of different perspectives here and different solutions and so forth. first of all as they mentioned already, the surest

apartment has been done a better job in a lot of places in regards to inmates and trying to have programs that are helping inmates adjust when they do come back. my first exposure of course, was on the school board i went to visit san bruno and to sports the five keys charter in which the district charter and i think that these issues are very complex. this many issues discussed today. there is the need, whether we do need additional space, bed space, to renovate the jails or not, there's issues of why people are getting into these situations. is it really fair or not there quacks these are issues, at least in my circle,

have been in discussion for five decades. or more. one of the things i've dedicated my life to is the prevention and many people come up here and having been in that situation where we're talking about well if we work with youngsters at an early age in which they also have similar opportunities whether in preschool or in the school district, where k-12, this is where i would've to put more resources and as my colleagues know, i've been fighting for that to make sure that folks do have an opportunity to send their kids to preschool so that they don't slip right when they get into kindergarten. so, there's many ways to look at this and i'm really happy that i had the opportunity to hear additional perspectives on this. it's opened up my thinking a little

bit. i'm still open to how i want to approach this particular issue. so, again, i want to thank my colleagues on this committee for bringing this hearing. thank you very much. >> thank you chairman yee. actually, i just at the moment to note all three of us used to run these programs youth advocacy work served on the board of supervisors and i think all of us actually have visited either county jail or juvenile justice to visit a number of our youth program. so, i think were all intimately aware of a lot of the experience associated with it. i just wanted take a moment to thank and acknowledge the leadership of pres. reid on this issue. it's been a real pleasure working with you and your office. connor johnson, as we

look at really not either just rebuilding of jail or expanding the job however you want to look at it but we thinking and reimagining the system. we are at this point in this country and actually even this morning, speaker weiner announced that he wants to look at prison and criminal justice reform. president obama: the first sitting president ever to visit a federal prison and to call into question whether these policies are still working. san francisco can be behind. we've always been ahead on these discussions that we should continue to keep up with what is happening throughout the country. state legislatures throughout the country even red states, are re-examining our mass incarceration system and questioned whether it keeps our community safer. whether it's with the taxpayer expenses, whether were getting the

results and outcomes we had hoped for in the 80s and 90s when we really begin down this kind of downward trend of mass incarceration. it's actually a very very exciting conversation that i will make sure san francisco is ahead, that were not just looking up at forgery because a year or two year ago the capital committee of the city decided this is what we should be doing. we have not done it yet. it many opportunities to really expand the conversation. i know the controller's office and others have suggested we convene a committee of these very various departments and committee stakeholders so were looking at every possible alternative as president breed mentioned it recently great ideas presented by the public defender's office, the district attorney, department of public health, adult probation,. we have to look at examining bill reform. is a money-based bell system really the future of our criminal justice system? should we look at increasing our electronic monitoring quacks do we look at the capacity of our pretrial diversion program under our sheriffs department? and

really look at the data. our jail population to kind 35% while the city population increase. so, is it about statement to say that the city continues to go will need more jail beds? the current data doesn't actually demonstrate that. so i think this is an important conversation get under that san francisco is part of it. i really viewed this point in time as an opportunity. we have such an opportunity to really be examined the system and really think about where these dollars are best spent etc. million dollars is nothing to cop at. we need to make sure investing it back wisely because were making a commitment as a policy body tuesday were making the city as safe as it can be. let's make sure when we put those dollars and are actually committed to our promise in our commitments. so, i want to they call that a part of the team to present today. very thoughtful presentation. i look forward to working with everyone. also, all their committee staplers that of accident at all involved in this issue for

years been working on this hearing in of itself i believe for the last six months compiling all the data and statistics and stories. to put together. i look forward to the continued work with pres. reid's office, and so gauche and my own the committee? >> >> on makeup motion to continue that of >> i will second that should do know objective than the motion passes >>[gavel] >>" is there anything else on the agenda? >> no further business >> than the meeting is adjourned. >>[gavel] (clapping.) the airport it where i know to
