Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC) JRAC : Troy and Adam reported attending this meeting last week and a pretrial fee was discussed. Code dictates now these fees are to be deposited in the probation user fees fund. Language proposed to open this up, but was voted down by legislative committee of JRAC. Adam reported on the following statutes at JRAC: Safe Harbor: involves moving someone from local jail to doc due to being in danger in local jail. (ex: informant, police officer, etc.) which mainly involves medical situations. Currently these people are ineligible to go to DOC and this statute is looking at making them eligible. The consensus was POPAI will support this. This should be discussed today at JRAC and Adam will report back.
Legislation Adam reported the corrections on criminal code was sent out to all by Linda. This will be discussed at December’s meeting so all can review.
Technology Karen sent this report out this week. Troy reported business as usual. Jobs page is still the top site search.
Old Business Strategic Plan: Andria, Susan, Cherie, Sarah and CJ met 9/5/17 to get started on this and email went out to summarize this week what was developed. All were to review and report back with feedback. Nothing has been done since last meeting. Workload Measures: Troy reported he and Sarah met with Jane Siegel at IOCS for this study. Troy reported IOCS was very receptive to the idea of pursuing a project to aid in determining workload measures. This would hopefully be more of an outcome basis study and not just a workload measures report, so that dosage and implementation of EBP could be looked at as well. Also discussed was including community corrections in the study. Troy and Sarah to talk to IACCAC president today about furthering this project. POPAI to remain the driving force on this project and will oversee to make sure project is carried out efficiently. Potential meeting with all parties in January, 2018. Policy and Procedure Bylaws: committee will meet and is made up of Troy, Adam, Michael, Sarah, and Melanie. This will be tackled in January, 2018. Hurricane money sent and received. Juvenile Defense Strategic Planning Committee: Susan B reported meeting and discussion panel was held 11/3/17 in downtown Indianapolis. She and a juvenile po from her county attended. Informative, but more geared towards public defenders. No next meeting set at this time.
