Title
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT CONTRACT WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION FOR HOUSING INMATES AT STATE FIRE CAMPS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
On November 13, 2018 (4), the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the execution of a three-year agreement with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for the housing of inmates at State Fire Camps which expires on June 30, 2021. This program has been very effective, and the inmates have contributed to the safety of the community by managing brush and fighting fires. In addition, this program has assisted the Sheriff in managing jail population by annually increasing the number of both male and female inmates placed in the camps from 11 the first year to a monthly average of 70 in 2019. With the inmate population reduced for COVID-19 prevention in 2020, we averaged 42 inmates per month at the camps.
The Sheriff and CDCR would like to execute a new three-year agreement. This is a request to authorize a three-year contract with CDCR for the housing inmates at State Fire Camps for the period beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2024.
