The Bureau of Corrections has three Jail Facilities: The Key West Detention Center housing up to 597 inmates; the Marathon Detention Center housing up to 52 inmates, and the Plantation Key Detention Center housing up to 47 inmates. The total daily average inmate population in 2009 was 515 inmates. The overall mission of Corrections Services is to provide for custody, Chief Tommy Taylor control, care, and treatment of incarcerated inmates. The facility also offers a variety of programs to inmates who wish to make a positive change in their lives, including educational, work related and rehabilitative programs aimed at changing behaviors so when an inmate is released, he or she has a chance at becoming a productive, contributing member of society. The Corrections Bureau provides processing and detention services for all law enforcement agencies in Monroe County. In 2009, 6,118 arrestees were booked through Captain Tim Age the three jail facilities. Processing an inmate involves intake, medical screening, fingerprinting, photographing and classification of the individual. Technology plays a key role, particularly through video-imaging and electronic or inkless fingerprinting. The automated fingerprint identification system, called “Live Scan”, offers real time positive identification on all arrestees. It is not a free ride, however; all arrestees are assessed an initial processing fee of $20. Arrestees who can’t pay the $20 fee at the time of arrest carry an outstanding debt until paid. In 2009, the facility collected $48,559.44 in processing fees. Monroe County Detention facilities utilize the Direct Supervision model. This style of management uses corrections deputies who work directly within the inmates living areas. These units and dorms house from 54 to 95 inmates each. The absence of barriers such as bars, steel doors and cat walks typically found in an “old style” jail allows our deputies to control all the areas in the jail including passageways and secure rooms. In this way, inmates activities and behavior are in direct control of our corrections deputies. Contract Beds: In a continued effort to save the taxpayers money, the Sheriff’s Office leases unused beds to Federal Agencies such as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Border Patrol at a cost of $82.00 per day per inmate. The money received from these contracted beds goes into the Monroe $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1,500,000 $1,000,000 Income from Contract Inmates $2,154,222 $1,573,088 $1,972,674 $1,842,376 $1,639,262 8,000 7,000 6,000 5,000 Detention Center Bookings 7,500 7,163 7,230 6,684 6,328 6,118 $500,000 $0 2004/2005 2005/2006 2006/2007 2007/2008 2008/2009 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 County General Fund to offset operating the three Detention Facilities. $1,639,262 was collected from contract beds during the 2008 / 2009 fiscal year. Incarceration should never be a “free ride” and the Sheriff’s Office is always looking for ways to offset the cost to taxpayers of operating the detention facilities. Total jail related fees collected from inmates for 2009 were $204,879.00. Fees charged in our facilities include: • $20 Booking fees generated $48,559 in 2009 • Inmate Commissary, which sells “extra” day to day necessities to inmates, generated $92,054 in 2009. • Inmate subsistence fees: $1 per day per inmate brought in $28,247 in 2009. • Prepaid phone cards generated sales of $13,680 in 2009. 41 Monroe County Sheriff’s Office - Annual Report 2009
