these are communities who would have otherwise been on parole, and those violations would have been handled by the state board of parole hearings, so this is a new area of work for our office, something we have not had the responsibility to do before. the second impact we see on our office is that we anticipate that we will have to make more court appearances and court cases will be protracted in length. now, people who are sentenced to state prisons, many of them will be held locally, which means that local authorities are responsible for monitoring and tracking those cases for longer periods of time. the third and potentially most important impact on our office is that we see that we now need to develop expertise in alternative sentences. we recognize that simply relying on local jail in lieu of state prisons will put us in a situation where we
