Page 9 of 15TRANSFERS (CONT.)An offender on probation is attending college in another (non-adjoining) county. However, hecontinues to use his parents’ address in the county of original jurisdiction as his permanentaddress? Can the original county carry this person as direct (if he has a face-to-face contactonce every 90 days) even though he does not work or reside in the county?The situation of a probationer attending college in another jurisdiction is one that should belooked at on a case-by-case basis. If the probationer is away at college "temporarily" andcontinues to maintain his parents' address as his permanent address, then the offender can becarried as direct (provided they have a face-to-face contact every 90 days). If the offender reallyhas moved out of the county on a more permanent basis, then the case should probably betransferred. Also, if the offender is higher risk and requires more frequent contact, transferringthe case may be best.RESIDENTIALIf an individual is placed in a residential facility operated by another CSCD, but the originaljurisdiction does not transfer the case to the new county, in which county should theindividual be reported as under direct supervision?Unless an agreement is in place that the original jurisdiction will directly supervise the offender,the CSCD operating the residential facility should count the individual as under directsupervision. If no such agreement is in place and the case has not technically been transferred,the county of original jurisdiction should report the individual as an indirect intrastate transfer(Item I.B.1).An offender receiving contract residential services is on indirect supervision, should thisperson be counted on page 3 of the MCSCR?The purpose of page 3 of the MCSCR is to track participants in a residential facility. Alloffenders placed in a residential facility should be tracked on page 3 of the MCSCR under theappropriate program code.A CSCD (containing 2 counties) has been reporting their ISF offenders on page three only.They are not reporting them on page one. Reason is that if they are getting grant money, theycannot also get state funding. How should they report? Also, how to report if one county(County A) within the CSCD sends a case to the ISF which is in another county (County B)within their CSCD?For cases originating in County A and then residing in the ISF in County B: County A should report an indirect transfer, within CSCD (Item I.B.1.b) and County Bshould report the count on page 3 of MCSCR in CCF:ISF category; and County B should report direct, residential (Item I.A.5).For cases originating in County B and residing in the ISF in County B: The CSCD should count on page 3 of MCSCR in the CCF:ISF category; and County B should report direct, residential (Item I.A.5).- 31 ­
