RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Men and Women of Purpose in an amount not to exceed $222,188.04 for the provision of mentoring and placement services to assist adult inmates transitioning back into the community for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$222,188.04; 100% 2019/20 AB109.














BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Contract is to continue the Jail to Community Program as part of the County's AB109 public safety realignment plan. As part of the Jail to Community Program, the Men and Women of Purpose (MWP) and the Office of the Sheriff-Coroner commit to an ongoing collaboration to strengthen and develop a multi-disciplinary approach to serve adult offenders inside the County's West County Detention Facility, Martinez, Detention Facility, and Marsh Creek Detention Facility. Those incarcerated and in the custody of the County's Sheriff-Coroner would need to meet certain criteria to be among the AB 109 re-entry population. Some of the services MWP provides are initial assessments, recommending treatment plans, developing support groups, and assisting participants with the recovery of their California Driver's License, Social Security Card and Green Cards for the re-entry population. MWP will provide participants online access and print outs of the County's 211 information services and participant services to each of its Outpatient and Day Treatment programs after the participant is released.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in the incarcerated not having an improved chance to not re-offend and return to the detention facility resulting in an increased fiscal impact and continued overcrowding.
