Washington Department of CorrectionsEfforts create savings, provide serviceDay Reporting Centers are a more stringent means of supervision for offenderswho violate conditions of their parole or community placement supervision. DayReporting Centers (DRCs) offer intensified supervision that requires the offenderto report to the center daily and be involved in a variety of programs andactivities, including job search, life skills, anger management and substanceabuse treatment.The Day Reporting Centers also manage work crews. The centers arrange forcommunity service projects as a sanction option for offenders, which allowsoffenders to perform community service hours. This activity potentially results insavings to those non-profit entities using center work crew services.Results★ Because the Day Reporting Centers are centrally located in downtown areas,offenders can take public transportation to the center and take advantage ofother services offered nearby.★ The benefits vary month to month; in one month, a work crew performed 619hours of community service which, based on a $5-per-hour base pay, created$3,095 in “free labor” for non-profit agencies.★ The Department of Corrections in Everett and Snohomish County havedeveloped a partnership that includes shared office space and the ability tojointly monitor offenders who move through both the state and countysystems, reducing duplication of services.★ Offenders coming out of the work ethic camp can be more easily supervisedto monitor their introduction into the community.★ Community safety is enhanced as a result of the more intense, structuredsupervision offered.Team members: Debbie Garner, Rico Rowe, Steve Ruhl, Stephen Desuler,Oscar Cullum, Julio Perez, Phedra Quincey, Deanna Woods, Catherine Stone,Mark Reyes, Ron Logan, Karen Adams, and Dianne Young.CONTACT: Jane Parnell (360) 586-250775
Washington Department of CorrectionsPartnership helps offenders in crisis situationsThe state’s Pine Lodge pre-release center has no on-site mental health staff.Some offenders become unstable and suicidal during their incarceration andoften require transfer to other facilities. Such transfers are time-consuming,expensive -- they often involve overtime pay for employees -- and dangerous tostaff, offenders and the general public.Discussions with Eastern State Hospital, Spokane County’s Community ServicesDivisions and Spokane Mental Health Department resulted in a partnershipamong the state, county and local jurisdictions. The state and local mentalhealth departments worked together to provide suicide assessments to offendersat Pine Lodge during such emergencies. This agreement allowed theDepartment of Corrections staff and Spokane Mental Health staff to learn fromeach other.Results★ Two different situations arose that previously would have required continualobservation of the offenders and eventual transfers to other facilities. In bothcases, the offenders were returned to the corrections facilities, saving$1,440.★ The new arrangement has saved about $2,000 in staff overtime costs.★ All parties involved in the partnership increased their knowledge of both thecorrectional system and mental health procedures. Offenders receivedimmediate evaluations of their mental health needs and assessments of theirabilities to remain at Pine Lodge.Team members: Charles Law, George Bayer, Jan Gregg, Casey Kramer, JanDobbs, and Ernie Packebush.CONTACT: Jane Parnell (360) 586-250776
