Page 8 of 15TRANSFERS (CONT.)An offender is placed on probation in the county and placed in an ISF in another jurisdiction.Does the county code this offender as “Transferred-Out” or is it coded as “Indirect-Incarcerated?Since the jurisdiction operating the ISF is carrying the offender as Direct while they are in theISF, the county should carry this person as an “intra-state transfer out” (Item I.B.1) even thoughthe case has not technically been transferred. This is to avoid duplication in statewide totals.A CSCD has offenders who work and reside in a satellite county and are put on probation inthe satellite county. However, offenders report to their CSOs in the chief county as they areon a specialized caseload that is only available in the chief county. Can they (a) countoffenders as direct in the chief county and (b) as indirect Transfer within CSCD in thesatellite?Yes. CSCDs may maintain direct supervision of offenders living and/or working in adjoiningjurisdictions if the CSCD has documented approval from the adjoining jurisdictionsAn offender was transferred to another jurisdiction (County 2) so the county of originaljurisdiction was carrying this person as Indirect Transfer Out. The offender got arrested andis currently in jail in County 2 for the new charge. County 2 returned courtesy supervision forthe original charge to the county of original jurisdiction and is carrying the offender asIndirect-Incarcerated on the new charge. How should the county of original jurisdiction countthis offender?Both counties should carry this offender as Indirect—Incarcerated in County Jail (Item I.B.5.a).We transferred an offender to Louisiana and have been counting him as an InterstateTransfer (out). Since in Louisiana, the offender committed new offenses and wasincarcerated in Louisiana prison. How should we count him?Count the offender as an “Indirect, Other” (Item I.B.6) until his Texas Case terminates, or hereturns to your jurisdiction.An offender is transferred-out from one county to another jurisdiction (either intra-state orinter-state). Can the county immediately code this as “Transferred Out” on the MCSCR? Thecounty would like to count all pending transfers as “Indirect-Other” until they receive eitheran acceptance or rejection letter from the receiving jurisdiction, at which point they wouldcarry the offender as either a “Transfer-Out” or as “Report by Mail.”CJAD does not have a problem if the county wants to count pending transfers out as “IndirectOther” (Item I.B.6) until they have confirmation of acceptance or rejection. However, for intrastatetransfers, if the receiving jurisdiction is carrying the offender as direct—the Originaljurisdiction must carry the offender as a “Transfer-Out” (Item I.B.1) – otherwise statewidecounts of probationers will include duplicates.- 30 ­
