The renovation of the recreation yard and conversion to program space would <br />provide a facility -wide total area containing 7,033 square feet for classroom activities. <br />This would increase the dedicated classroom / program areas in the City Jail to <br />approximately 4.2% of the total 168,243 square feet contained in the building. This <br />expands available classroom and programming space at the Jail by nearly 40.0% <br />compared to what is found in typical California jail facilities. <br />C. Fiscal Analysis: Developing a yearly operating budget for implementing a Jail <br />transitional reentry treatment facility for incarcerated male / female inmates will be <br />heavily influenced by the identified costs for (a) Jail administration, supervisory and <br />custody personnel, (b) dedicated reentry program specialists, (c) community service <br />providers, and (d) the negotiated daily per diem detention bed reimbursement rate for <br />correctional agency inmates participating in the Jail's reentry program. A review of <br />prior Jail fiscal year expenditure trends shows that the facility's operating budget with <br />contract detention bed inmate populations of 275-375 has ranged from $16.1 million <br />to $18.4 million. <br />The offsetting contract inmate housing correctional agency reimbursement has <br />ranged from $5.0 million to a high of $15.9 million during the same period. Overall, <br />this same level of expenditure patterns for (1) Jail custody personnel, and (2) <br />correctional agency custody bed leases will likely be required for a reentry detention <br />facility. In order to fully implement a regiment of evidence -based validated <br />assessments, case plan development, and treatment rehabilitation counseling / <br />therapy, the Jail's operating budget will also need to be augmented. The financial <br />augmentation will cover staffing salaries / benefit costs for at least seven newly -hired, <br />experienced reentry program specialists. The dedicated staff will manage and be <br />responsible for delivering and/or coordinating reentry counseling and supportive <br />services offered to the target inmate populations. <br />The Reentry Specialists will be full-time and will include (a) Reentry Program <br />Manager, (b) Reentry Services Resource Specialist, (c) Education and Life Program <br />Coordinator, and (d) social workers. The scope of duties the Reentry Program <br />Manager is responsible for includes: <br />In -custody Services: The Reentry Program Manager oversees reentry inmate <br />custody services that involve case management, substance abuse treatment, <br />Thinking for a Change (cognitive behavioral change program), gang intervention, job <br />readiness, employment services, job coaching, life skills (including financial barriers <br />and training), mentorship, recreational activities, family parenting / reunification <br />services, and transition plans. <br />Service Providers: Maintains linkage and works with community service providers to <br />identify the array of services which will assist offenders and families to meet <br />discharge plans. <br />79 <br />o • 1, <br />
