The purpose of this awazd is to <br />maintain operations of the two programs developed by the Orange-Chatham Justice Partnership <br />Boazd. These 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 have been operated through contractual agreements with Orange-Chatham <br />Alternative Sentencing. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The programs operate solely on grant funds - no county dollazs are <br />expended. <br />RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract in <br />substantially the form of the contract attached and authorize the chair to sign. <br />
