The purpose of this award is to <br />continue operations of the two implementation programs identified by the advisory board. These <br />programs include: <br />(a) the Pre -Trial Release Program, which addresses jail overcrowding by moving inmate- related <br />data expeditiously through the criminal justice system; and <br />(b) a Sanctions Center, which serves as a special condition of probation. This center provides <br />offenders with individual treatment plans designed to enhance their success with probation. <br />Both programs are operated through contractual agreements with a local non - profit agency. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The programs operate solely on grant funds — no county dollars are <br />expended. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accepts the grant award and <br />authorizes the chair to sign contingent upon staff review. <br />
