Info

• Other “extras” charged for in the jails include indigent paks, mattress rentals, large white towels, check writing fees, reading glasses, legal services and medical services. • Inmates also provide free labor to the County and other public service agencies. In 2009, inmate labor contributed $724,074 in services (trusty hours figured at minimum wage). The Corrections Bureau is also charged with transporting inmates into and out of the county, to and from court and for other required activities. The Jail Transportation Unit transported thousands of inmates to Court and to and from the Marathon and Plantation Key Jails. In 2009, the Corrections Bureau began partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to begin identifying criminal aliens during the booking process using the LiveScan fingerprinting process. Memos of Understanding (MOUs) were also implemented with the State Department of Corrections to house inmates if an executive order is given which would require evacuation of inmates and for the Monroe County Detention facility to house up to 3,000 people if a mass migration event should take place. Director Keena Allen Inmates Programs Division The inmates Programs and Services Division handles the daily needs of inmates including mail, laundry, accounting, commissary, religious and educational issues. Multiple volunteer programs have donated over 3,085 hours in 2009 to assist in this division. Jail Drug Intervention Program In 2009, this program enrolled 105 male inmates. Of those, only 20 (or about 20%) were rearrested within one year of completing the program. Twenty two female inmates were enrolled. Five (or 22%) were rearrested within a year of completing the program. Inmate Work Release Program The Work Release Program allows selected, low risk offenders to work, while completing the terms of their sentence. The program gives the offender a marketable trade or skill, which reduces recidivism and the offender has the opportunity to pay restitution for their crimes, support their families while incarcerated and provides a positive transition back to the community. Trusty Work Program The Trusty Work Program saves taxpayers significant money by assigning inmates to work details with County Public Works and other public service agencies in Monroe County. The Trusty Work Program saved taxpayers an estimated $724,000.00 in labor costs. Trusties clean Sheriff’s Office buildings; they work in the main Detention Center kitchen preparing inmate meals; they maintain all Sheriff’s Office landscaping; and they perform many similar duties for Monroe County Government buildings, public parks and roadways. The Classification Unit This unit determines the custody and housing assignment for all inmates. It also processes court information and release documentation. Inmate workers inside and outside the facility are screened closely for suitability and their particular talents are taken under consideration for particular work assignments. Special attention is required for high-profile inmates in need of special housing and other special treatment. The computerized Smart Cop Jail Management System helps with this function. This system helps identify violent felons, escape risks, sexual predators and inmates who are required, for various reasons, to submit DNA samples to the State of Florida. Prison Health Services This contract provider handles Inmate Medical Care under the direction of a medical health administrator. Services include medical, dental, and psychiatric services. Inmates are charged a fee for services but no inmate can be denied medical care due to the inability to Monroe County Sheriff’s Office - Annual Report 2009 42 pay. Jail Food Services This contract provider, Trinity Food Services Group, provides three meals a day to inmates for over 700,000 meals served in 2009. The Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm The Farm and it’s operations are overseen by a paid employee - currently Jeanne Selander - who manages the Animal Farm, and oversees the maintenance of the Detention Center and Sheriff’s Office Headquarters grounds. The animals at the Farm are cared for primarily by Detention Center inmates who receive formal training in some aspects of animal husbandry which they may be able to use once they are released from the facility. At the very least, they learn to work closely with many creatures in need of the compassion and caring of a human being - an experience which cannot help but be a positive factor in their lives. Veterinarian services are primarily contributed by Dr. Doug Mader, of the Marathon Veterinary Hospital. He regularly checks on the animals, administering medical care, vaccinations and other necessary services. The Farm, located underneath the Stock Island Detention facility, is free of charge to all and is open to the public on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Group visits can also be scheduled. This special place continues to be a big hit with families and frequently sees visitors from local schools, nursing homes, and other programs such as the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA and local church groups. The farm began as a haven for homeless animals and to date, most of the animals on the farm come from the SPCA, or from owners who can no longer care for their animals. The Farm features all sorts of animals - both the traditional farm animals and exotic animals from many different countries. The Farm offers one of the only opportunities for Keys children to interact with animals they wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to experience. The farm has special events throughout the year. The facility is supported largely by donations from visitors. In 2009, almost 6,000 people visited the farm, contributing $7,500 in donations which are used for special projects and for day to day maintenance and upkeep of the animals and their habitats.
