WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY: 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEI am what time, circumstances, history,have made of me, certainly,but I am also, much more than that,so are we all.James BaldwinThe <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Defender</strong> <strong>Service</strong> for the District of Columbia (PDS) is pleased to produce this directory for theD.C. Department of Corrections, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), and Federal Bureau of Prisonsand their contract facility staff who provide countless hours serving women from the District of Columbia. Weare confident that this invaluable resource will assist in the reentry and return of D.C. women to their familiesand our community. We give special thanks to Donna Barnes, Office Manager for the Office of Rehabilitationand Development (ORD) of PDS, who created this directory from our Adult Resource Directory: 2011Community & Confinement Access Guide. These directories along with our Directory of Youth & Family<strong>Service</strong>s are also available in pdf format on the PDS website: www.pdsdc.org/officerehabilitationdevelopment.The website version provides a search field which is intended to make navigation easier.Better than a phone directory, the Women’s Resource Directory: 2012 Community & Confinement AccessGuide (Directory) lists hundreds of vital services, most of which are free and available to the indigent clientswe serve. The Directory will familiarize you with the up-to-date “How To’s” of helping a client register forand obtain substance abuse and mental health services. It will also explain Pretrial <strong>Service</strong>s Agency (PSA) andCourt <strong>Service</strong>s and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) supervision and testing requirements. In theHousing chapter you can find shelters or transitional housing, locate a thrift store, and find out where ahomeless client can pick up phone messages. Name your resource need and we’re certain you can find theanswers on these pages. Read through this directory and keep the “Telephone Numbers (Quick Reference)”handy -- we are confident it will both save you hours of work and make you a more effective advocate.The Office of Rehabilitation and Development (ORD) offers holistic representation and a range of clientcenterednon-legal services for indigent people arrested in D.C. and represented by appointed counsel indelinquency and criminal cases in Superior Court. ORD is composed of experienced, licensed masters-levelforensic social workers and professional counselors who perform Youth Rehabilitation Act Studies andsentencing evaluations with individualized treatment plans and recommendations. Our Resource Coordinator,who updates the directories, and our Office Manager, who created this directory and coordinates our annualReentry and Expungement Summit Resource Fair, completes our division. Together, we assist clients inaccessing appropriate treatment and resources.We are not the worst thing we have ever done. An arrest provides an opportunity to intervene and helpsomeone find a workable solution to a problem - whether it be assisting someone return to school to help herlearn to read, connect her to an employment program, locate a vocational program, find a doctor for a serious,untreated medical condition, join an AA meeting or find a parenting program. This directory and guide willlead the way to resources in the D.C. area.

Community Supervision <strong>Service</strong>sThe Community Supervision <strong>Service</strong>s (CSS) Division of Court <strong>Service</strong>s & Offender SupervisionAgency (CSOSA) is responsible for the management and supervision of probationers, paroleesand supervised releases in the District of Columbia. CSS receives cases from the DC SuperiorCourt (DCSC) for those under probation; from the United States Parole Commission (USPC)under parole or supervised release; or through the Interstate Commission for Adult OffenderSupervision (ICAOS). CSOSA staff is trained to employ cognitive-behavioral and motivationalinterviewing techniques along with a system of graduated sanctions and incentives to securecompliance with their supervision conditions.CSOSA utilizes an information database system, SMART, that employs an automated risk andneeds assessment tool that determines the level of supervision and frequency of contacts with thesupervision officer. Based on the assessment, one of four levels of supervision is assigned:Intensive, Maximum, Medium and Minimum (see table next page.) The drug testing schedule isbased on the supervision level and history of drug testing. CSS further utilizes an in-housecomputerized supervision planning instrument, AUTO Screener, that analyzes information(educational level, employment history, community support and networking, housing stability,victimization, prior supervision failures, physical health, leisure time, substance abuse historyand drug testing, mental health history, criminal history and motivation and attitude) andrecommends a prescriptive supervision plan (PSP). Individuals with past violent behaviorsand/or high levels of drug use, are likely placed under a higher level of supervision, as indicatedthrough AUTO Screener.Community visits are conducted by the Community Supervision Officer (CSO) and periodicallywith law enforcement personnel. CSOSA uses incentives and sanctions to encourage compliancewith conditions of release. A variety of sanctions are used to address non-compliant behavior, toinclude daily reporting, community service, electronic monitoring, jail sanctions, Halfway Back,and the Re-entry Sanctions Center (RSC). Understanding that relapse is part of recovery arelapse prevention plan is developed as part of the individual’s treatment process. Individuals canbe referred to prevention programs, including community self-help groups, such as NarcoticsAnonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). If relapse occurs the CSOSA agent mayrefer client for a substance abuse evaluation and receive more treatment.WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA11

SentencingII. SENTENCINGA. Collateral Consequences of a Criminal ArrestThe collateral consequence of a criminal arrest may overshadow the direct penal sentencerelated to the case. There are numerous circumstances when an individual’s criminalinvolvement will have a negative impact on that individual’s and on his family’s ability toaccess certain privileges and services.In the District of Columbia a person’s adult criminal involvement remains on his recordforever, unless a special provision allows the incident to be set-aside, expunged, or pardonedby the President of the United States. If permission is granted to set-aside, expunge orpardon a criminal record, the conviction will thereafter only be available for use by lawenforcement purposes. Below are just a few ways criminal involvement as an adult 18 yrs +can create a negative impact for the individual and perhaps his family:1. Civil Forfeiture: Property used in the commission of a crime relating to a controlledsubstance, prostitution, or gambling may be subject to civil forfeiture. It may not matterwhether the property is owned by a third-party not involved in the criminal act.2. Housing: Persons arrested for a crime that took place on public housing property willlikely lose their eligibility to receive public housing benefits. If the lease holder was notarrested for the crime but was aware that criminal activity was occurring on thepremises, the lease holder will lose eligibility to receive public housing benefits.3. Employment: Certain professions require the employee to possess special licensures,certifications or registrations. A person is not eligible for special licensing if havingbeen convicted of an offense “which bears directly on the fitness of the person to belicensed” (i.e. a person convicted of theft is not eligible to receive a license for aposition of trust in a bank, securities agent or notary public).4. Immigration: Non-citizens with either two (2) misdemeanor convictions or one (1)felony conviction can be deported.5. DNA Testing: Individual arrested for a felony that involved contact with another personor with property is required to submit a DNA sample. The sample is held by lawenforcement “perpetually” and can be used in the investigation of past and futurecrimes.6. Firearm Possession: No person convicted of a felony shall own or keep a firearm in DC.7. Sex Offenses: Persons convicted of inappropriate sexual behavior may be required toenlist on the sex offender registry of the jurisdiction where they reside. Sentenced sexoffenders with mental illness or those who have developed a mental illness whileincarcerated may be confined indefinitely after completing the sentence for theunderlining offense. With the passage of the Adam Walsh Child Protection andSafety Act of 2006, the Bureau of Prisons has the authority to seek the civilcommitment of any “sexually dangerous person” in BOP custody. This authority allowsBOP to indefinitely hold someone in custody even after the completion of his sentence.A person facing civil commitment is entitled to a hearing before a judge. In order tocivilly commit someone, BOP must prove that the person engaged or attempted toengage in sexually violent conduct or an act of child molestation. In addition, BOPmust establish that the person suffers from a serious mental illness, abnormality, or14WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Sentencingdisorder which would cause him to have serious difficulty in refraining from sexuallyviolent conduct or child molestation if released. BOP may rely on any available recordsto establish sexual dangerousness, including court records, any admissions made duringtreatment or other mental health records.B. Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA)A sentence under the DC Youth Rehabilitation Act is an option for youth who pleadguilty or for whom the jury returns a guilty verdict prior to their 22nd birthday. Thebenefit of a sentence under the Youth Rehabilitation Act is that if the client favorablycompletes his sentence, whether a term of incarceration or probation, prior to itsexpiration, the conviction may be “set aside” thereby precluding it from being publiclyaccessible, i.e. to employers, landlords, colleges. The conviction is available to lawenforcement personnel and to the Court. Under the Youth Rehabilitation Act, thesentencing judge may place the client on probation or order any period of incarcerationallowed by law. To receive a YRA sentence, the Court must determine that the youthwill benefit from rehabilitation.All offenses except murder and convictions for a second crime of violence while armedare YRA eligible. The Court may impose a YRA sentence from information received atthe time of conviction, or if additional information is needed, may "commit" the youthfor observation and Study (only prepared at the CTF) or refer to outside "agency" (mostoften at <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Defender</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Office of Rehabilitation and Development(ORD)). Youth Rehabilitation Act Studies (YRAS) by the Department ofCorrections will be completed only if the client is confined at CTF. YouthRehabilitation Act Study by ORD can be prepared when a judge places the client in thecommunity, a halfway house, CDF/CTF. A CJA case is eligible for an ORD-conductedYouth Rehabilitation Act Study, provided the case does not conflict with a PDS interest.The Court must pay for a contract mental health expert (e.g. PhD, M.D.) to complete therecommended psychological and/or psychiatric evaluation and any other evaluationsdeemed necessary. The CJA attorney is responsible for ensuring the final paymentthrough the Court. If in a single case there are co-defendants, one represented by PDSand the other(s) by non-PDS attorneys, and each co-defendant needs a Youth ActStudy, the Chief of ORD will refer the CJA attorney to private practitioners who may behired by the Court to produce a YRA Study. For more information on YRAS at the CTFcontact Unit Manager, Brandi Tutwiler (202) 547-7822 x 72326 and for ORD YRAScontact <strong>Betsy</strong> <strong>Biben</strong>, Chief, ORD (202) 824-2328.Note: YRAS is the property of the Sentencing Court. YRAS findings are submitteddirectly to the Court as an independent sentencing aide. ORD’s role in preparing aYRAS is independent, separate from its general role as a member of the defenseteam.C. Children Charged as Adults (Title 16, DC Code)In DC, youth can be prosecuted as an adult in three ways:1. U.S. Attorney’s Office charges a 16 or 17 year old with one or more crimes enumeratedunder DC Code § 16-2301 (murder, first degree sexual assault, armed robbery, etc.)WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA15
Sentencing2. Office of the Attorney General files a motion to move the case from the Family Court tothe Adult Criminal Court. The Family Court judge holds a hearing to determine theyouth’s rehabilitative prospects and the public’s interest to transfer. Youth must be atleast 15 years old and charged with committing an offense that would be an adult levelfelony.3. Youth 16 or 17 commits a moving traffic offense. Detained youth (male and female)charged as adults are held in a segregated unit at the Correctional Treatment Facility(CTF), 1901 D Street, SE. After the youth is sentenced (as an adult, to confinement) theyouth remains at CTF “juvenile unit” until his 18 th birthday. Thereafter, the confinementof the 18 year old is assumed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Children convicted asadults are not automatically emancipated. Although convicted as an adult, the youthmay still be entitled to certain educational, medical and social service benefits. If theyouth was involved in the juvenile, special education and/or neglect systems prior tobeing convicted as an adult, rehabilitative services through those systems should beexplored as a sentencing alternative.D.

Substance Abuse TreatmentIII. SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENTSubstance abuse treatment for low-income DC residents is available through a variety of sources.The treatment styles between programs are generally categorized as Spiritually Based,Therapeutic Community, Work Based and Medical. Treatment types are generally defined asfollows:Outpatient treatment - the patient returns home daily while matriculating through a treatmentplan. The intensity of treatment ranges from intensive hour-to-hour to monthly group meetings.An intensive outpatient program can require the patient be under supervision of the treatmentprovider for as much as 12 hours per day or as little as one hour per week, with randomurinalysis.12-step Anonymous substance abuse meetings - (NA) Narcotics Anonymous, AlcoholicsAnonymous (AA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Marijuana Anonymous (MA). Double Trouble inRecovery (DTR) for those with a psychiatric disability and chemical addiction/dual diagnosis.These meetings are peer support drug counseling and recovery mentoring. NA/AA treatment ismodeled on the 12-step approach that recognizes alcohol and drug as overpowering and sobrietydepends on the individual’s will. The meetings are often a requirement for other treatmentprograms.Detoxification (Detox) - supervised detoxification to remove toxins from the body.Inpatient (Hospital) - treatment offers acute care medical supervision and diagnosticevaluations.Residential treatment - the patient is under the supervision of the treatment provider 24 hours aday throughout the treatment period.Aftercare treatment - transitional housing with case management required NA/AA meetings forup to 6 months after resident is discharged from residential and/or hospital treatment.A. Accessing Substance Abuse Treatment <strong>Service</strong>sCourt-involved persons may access treatment through three government agencies and variousprivate programs. The DC Pretrial <strong>Service</strong>s Agency (PSA) and the Court <strong>Service</strong>s and OffenderSupervision Agency (CSOSA) have contractual arrangements with a number of outpatient,detoxification (detox) and residential treatment programs. PSA and CSOSA contract programsare identified in this Chapter. Court-ordered persons who fail to provide a urine sample (for anyreason) are suspected of drug use and are returned to Court or given other sanctions. The thirdgovernment agency, Addiction Prevention Recovery Administration (APRA), funds severalsubstance abuse treatment programs and does not require an individual to be court-involved toutilize its services.In general, PSA, CSOSA and APRA programs follow the therapeutic community or selfregulatingbehavior treatment models. Methadone maintenance is available through APRAcontract providers: Good Hope Institute and Comprehensive Treatment Center (see this Chapter).Note: Local residential programs do not accept persons on methadone.1. Pretrial <strong>Service</strong>s Agency (PSA)All persons arrested in DC are required to submit a urine sample that screens for illicitsubstances (see Chapter I, Community Supervision Chapter for specific listing of PSA18WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Substance Abuse Treatmentprograms/units). PSA services are accessed by Court Order. PSA provides assessments,monitoring, outpatient groups and referrals. They report progress directly to the Court throughwritten reports and, if needed, testimony at pre-trial hearings. If urine testing is positive PSAstaff may refer clients for more intensive outpatient treatment or a residential treatment program,included in this chapter.2. Court <strong>Service</strong>s and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA)CSOSA supervised persons are monitored for illicit drug use. If the individual tests positiveCSOSA will impose special conditions including more frequent drug and supervision monitoringand treatment. The level of treatment is determined by an assessment conducted by the CentralIntervention Team of CSOSA (see CIT this Chapter). The Defense and the Court may determinethat a different level of treatment is more appropriate than recommended in the CIT assessmentand the Court may order that CSOSA provide residential treatment when CIT recommendedoutpatient.3. The Addiction Prevention Recovery Administration (APRA)A person does not have to be court-involved to receive substance abuse treatment services. TheAddiction Prevention Recovery Administration (APRA) is the District’s health agency chargedwith providing substance abuse treatment and prevention to low-income DC residents. To beassessed for treatment the individual must appear in person at APRA’s Assessment and ReferralCenter, 70 N Street, NE. Those who are court-involved may enroll at the satellite office in theH. Carl Moultrie, I Courthouse, Room 114. APRA has several substance abuse treatmentprograms that are accessible through an APRA managed admission process. Programs with anAPRA contract are identified in this Chapter.4. Private, Spiritually-Based, Independent, and Faith-Based ProgramsPrivate treatment providers may be reimbursed for services by the DC Department of Health(DOH). Treatment offered by private, for-profit organizations not approved for funding throughAPRA’s “Voucher Choice” program require payment when service is rendered.No cost treatment is also available through a number of faith-based and spiritually-basedinstitutions, e.g. Catholic Charities, SOME, Central Union Mission, and Salvation Army.Generally, participants who successfully complete the inpatient treatment phase are offeredaftercare case management support and transitional housing or referred to Oxford Houses (seeHousing Chapter).

Special Education<strong>Public</strong> school districts are obligated to identify, locate and evaluate all children with disabilities,including children who are home schooled, homeless, wards of the state and children who attendprivate schools. Either a parent or public agency may initiate a request for an evaluation todetermine if the child has a disability. The disability must include at least one of the following:intellectual disability; learning disability; hearing impairment; visual impairment; speech orlanguage impairment; serious emotional disturbance; orthopedic impairment; autism; traumaticbrain injury; and other health impairment.An Individualized Education Program (IEP) guides the delivery of special education supportsand services for the student with a disability. The development of an IEP requires a team effort:the parent; the child; the child’s teacher; an individual qualified to interpret the instructionalimplications of the evaluation; a representative of the public agency and other individuals whohave knowledge of or special expertise regarding the child.DC Special Education students are eligible to receive services through their 22 nd birthday.Therefore, it is important when representing individuals younger than 21 years old to obtain allschool records to determine whether he has ever been identified as a special education student.(Special education determination is generally established in the IEP.) If the student hasunfulfilled special education needs he can go to his neighborhood school (with IEP) to re-enrollfor special education services.The DC Superior Court Special Education Panel (202) 879-1406 accepts CJA cases.Pro bono legal representation is also available through Children’s Law Center (202) 467-4900and Advocates for Justice and Education (202) 678-8060.60WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Community Housing for Convicted Sex OffendersUnlike twenty-three other states 2 the District of Columbia does not have “written” geographicrestrictions limiting where a convicted sex offender can live, visit or work. However, if the sexoffender 3 is on probation, parole or supervised release she will be supervised at a heightenedsupervision level through the CSOSA Sex Offender Unit (SOU). SOU Community SupervisionOfficers (SOU-CSO) will review the living arrangements and determine whether the place to live2 Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, WestVirginia.3 If CSOSA determines that a client has a history of sexually offensive behavior (charged or uncharged), or revealsinformation of any uncharged sex offense the offender will be considered a sex offender and supervised by the SexOffender Unit.72WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Halfway Houses, Shelters, Housing(or work) chosen is in the best interest of the community. If the SOU-CSO determines that theplace chosen is not in the best interest of the community she will be ordered to immediately findanother place to live. Certain classifications of sex offenders cannot live or work in the samehouse with minors, even if the minors are her own children and not a subject in the offense.Many transitional living, single room occupancy and assisted housing for seniors programsrequire the applicant to be eligible for <strong>Public</strong> Housing before entering the program. Whenapplying for transitional housing, first check to see whether the program receives local or federalhousing support. Federal law prohibits Registered (Class A) Sex Offenders from living in orvisiting public housing facilities. Independent housing programs that receive federal housingsupport are also required to abide by the federal law prohibiting sex offenders.For more information about living opportunities for persons with sex offenses, contact ORD at202 628-1200.Note: Registered (Class A) Sex Offenders are prohibited from living in housing programsthat are supported by local and federal public housing funds. Failure to disclose or lying onthe application can lead to criminal prosecution.Halfway Houses (Residential Reentry Centers)Convicted sex offenders returning to the community from prison or jail are required to transitionthrough a Residential Reentry Center (halfway house) or an independent housing arrangementthat is approved by CSOSA. To date, CSOSA will not accept a transitional housing arrangementif the sex offender is coming out of prison and going directly into an emergency shelter. There isonly one DC halfway house that accepts sex offenders (women) transitioning from prison.Residents stay between 90 and 120 days. Hundreds of DC convicted sex offenders becomeeligible for release from prison throughout the course of a year. Persons without a pre-approvedindependent housing placement can remain in prison for several months, even years beyond theireligible release date while waiting for one of the coveted spots.F.

Release: Preparing for Release from Prison or JailIX. RELEASE: Preparing for Release from Prison or JailInmates anticipating release from prison should start preparing for their release when theyenter prison. Participating in educational, vocational and general counseling enhances the reentrytransition. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) requires that an inmate attend six Pre-Releaseclasses within 12 to 18 months of their anticipated date of release. (Failure of an inmate to attendand cooperate with “Pre-Release Preparation” will be deemed a “program refusal” and therefusal may consequently retard the anticipated release date.Inmates seeking parole must apply to the United States Parole Commission at least 60 days priorto the initial parole hearing.A. Pre-ReleaseInmates released from prison before their parole, supervised release or sentence end date is stillunder the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). They are released to a ResidentialRecovery Center (RRC) (halfway house) or home confinement (Electronic Monitoring/GPS).Pre-release inmates agree to abide by strict monitoring and case management while residing atthe RRC or at home. (see RRC Chapter VI. for list of RRCs in DC). Pre-release inmates areexpected to secure employment, obtain suitable housing and get connected to other services.RRC case managers and CSOSA staff (TIPS Unit) assist the inmate with developing a plan forreentry to the community. A suitable Release Plan requires the inmate to identify and secure: aplace to reside; source of support, i.e. employment (paying at least minimum wage); publicbenefits; access to medical and mental health services.Release Day: Pre-release inmates are expected to travel unescorted (without the accompanimentof family or friends) to the pre-release destination. Pre-release inmates receive a “ReleaseItinerary” that calculates the time it takes for the inmate to travel from the prison to the RRC.Generally, the institution transports the inmate from the prison gate to the nearest publictransportation. DC Code Offender (sentenced in DCSC) get a one way bus ticket to the DCGreyhound bus station. (If funds are available in the inmates personal account, the inmate isexpected to pay for the bus ticket.) The client has 2 hours from when the bus is scheduled toarrive in DC to make it to the designated halfway house. If he does not arrive within the 2 hours,an escape charge will be issued. Clients with significant disabilities are encouraged to requestspecial assistance for a family, friend or social service agency to receive them when they arrivein DC.B. Post-ReleaseInmates granted supervised release, parole or are near the end of their full sentence. Most postreleaseinmates transition to the community through a RRC. Client’s on probation, parole orsupervised release are supervised under the authority of CSOSA. Inmates released near the endof their full sentence are allowed to complete their sentence at a RRC, under a “<strong>Public</strong> LawPlacement” status. <strong>Public</strong> Law release provides the inmate with case management support tosecure employment, obtain suitable housing, and connect with other services, before they mustlive independently in the community.WOMEN’S RESOURCE DIRECTORY 2012COMMUNITY & CONFINEMENT ACCESS GUIDEPUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA97

Mental HealthIn addition, BOP must establish that the person suffers from a serious mental illness,abnormality, or disorder which would cause them to have serious difficulty in refraining fromsexually violent conduct or child molestation if released.

HIV/AIDSXIII. HIV/AIDSNewly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases in the District of Columbia decreased 30% from 2005 to2009. Nevertheless, the District’s HIV infection rate is 3.2% among DC adults and adolescents,2.29% above the World Health Organization definition of 1% for a generalized epidemic.African-Americans comprise 52.0% of the District’s AIDS cases, Caucasians 35.2%, Latinos8.1% and Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans 4.7% 5 . District Wards 5, 6, 7 and 8consistently have the highest numbers of residents diagnosed with HIV and AIDS 6 .Persons entering and existing the DC Department of Corrections (DOC) system are offeredtesting for HIV and other diseases. If an inmate chooses to be tested for HIV the test will beconducted under the confidential testing guidelines. DOC reports that 3.7% of the inmates testedat DC Jail and CTF are infected with HIV. 1% of those tested when they enter the DOC systemlearn for the first time that they are infected with HIV. 7 Voluntary HIV/AIDS counseling,treatment, medication and post-release case management is available to inmates at DC Jail andCTF.The presence of HIV and/or AIDS in the body is detected by testing the antibodies in theimmune system. The District has several free HIV testing sites located throughout the city (seetable below of locations of free testing sites). Blood, urine or oral fluid samples are needed. Onthe spot “Rapid” results are available in 20 minutes at most testing sites. Tests are providedeither confidentially or anonymously. Confidential tests are given to the testee verbally.Anonymous tests require the testee to provide a code (2 letters and 7 numbers) by which toidentify them self. If the testee tests positive for HIV he must provide personal informationbefore receiving the results. Positive testees are directed to consult with a physician. Positivetest results are reported to the local health department and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).The rate of HIV infection in the body is measured by the number of CD4 or T-cells. HIVinfection attacks and weakens the body’s white blood cells. Healthy, non-infected adults have aCD4 count of at least 800. The more active the HIV infection the lower the T-cell count. CD4measurements for HIV infected persons range between 650 and 150. Doctors recommend thatpersons who have CD4 test of 200 or below receive treatment.Treatment for HIV infected persons is most commonly administered in the form of oralmedication. These medications, called antiretroviral therapy, are available through local medicalclinics and hospitals. The DC AIDS Drug Assistance Program (DC ADAP) provides HIV andother related medications for people unable to afford them. To apply for DC ADAP theindividual or his representative must complete the four page DC DOH “Application for Health<strong>Service</strong>s” form, which must be signed by a physician or the applicant’s case manager certifyingthat the applicant is HIV positive.

Volunteer Opportunities/Community <strong>Service</strong>XVII. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES/COMMUNITY SERVICEThe following is a list of organizations and programs that accept volunteers to aid with theirrespective mission. The list is by no means exhaustive. The Washington metropolitan areaoffers hundreds of volunteer opportunities for persons and groups looking to offer their services.Volunteer opportunities are also available at most not-for-profit organizations, to includechurches, school and government agencies. Organizations expect volunteers to be drug andalcohol free, trustworthy and able to conduct themselves in a cordial and friendly manner.Note: Many organizations do not welcome volunteers who are “court ordered” (akacommunity service) to participate. First and foremost, the volunteer must influence theorganization with their dedication and commitment to help fulfill the mission of theorganization. Being court ordered to perform community service is not necessarily a bar tovolunteering. Volunteering should be viewed as a learning experience and an opportunity tohelp and not only as an extension of punishment. Volunteers should maintain a daily log oftheir activities with the organization, even if the referring agency does not require a log. Activitylogs should include: date of service, hours of service; location of service; activity performed;supervisors name and signature.Greater DC Cares - 1156 15 th Street, NW, # 840, 20005 (202) 777-4447, www.dc-cares.org isthe largest coordinator of volunteerism in the Washington area.

Legal AssistanceXVIII. LEGAL ASSISTANCEIn the District of Columbia there are two primary sources of legal representation for indigentpersons charged with a crime. The <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Defender</strong> <strong>Service</strong> for DC generally handles the morecomplex, resource-intense and time consuming criminal and juvenile delinquency cases. Matterswith conflicts and the other remaining criminal cases are handled by a panel of pre-selectedattorneys (CJA attorneys) who are appointed pursuant to the District’s Criminal Justice Act of(CJA).Individuals seeking a civil remedy are not entitled to court-appointed representation. Thischapter lists many of the non-profit organizations and law school clinics which provideconsultations, resources, and representation to individuals and groups who are in need of civillegal services and unable to pay the cost of an attorney. Clients must meet income guidelines toreceive services.Low and moderate income persons seeking legal assistance for a non-criminal matter can start byusing an on-line service called www.LawHelp.org (LawHelp.org is not accessible by telephoneor walk-in). LawHelp.org provides basic information about legal rights and makes referrals tolocal legal aid and public interest law offices that provide free or low cost legal representation.The DC Bar Pro Bono Programs sponsors walk-in legal advice and referral clinics on selecteddates at Bread for the City’s two offices (see Bread for the City, this Chapter).Each of the DC law schools (American, Catholic, Georgetown, George Washington, Howard andUDC) offer legal clinics that handle a limited number of cases in a variety of specialty areas.Case representation by law school clinics are generally handled by second and third-yearstudents who are supervised by licensed attorneys. Representation by a law school clinic isgenerally pro bono; the client may be expected to cover the cost of filings, transcripts andwitness expenses. Law school clinics make every effort to schedule the progression of a case sothat it can be handled between September and May, the academic school year. Accordingly, thechances are better in getting a case accepted for representation by a law school clinic if theapplication for assistance is made in August or September.Advocates for Justice and Education1012 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE 20003(202) 678-8060, (888) 327-8060, Fax (202) 678-8062 www.aje-dc.org4201 Georgia Avenue, NW 20011 (202) 265-1432, Fax (202) 291-2225Kim Y.

ImmigrationXIX. IMMIGRATIONArrestees not born in the United States or naturalized (applied for U.S. citizenship) aresusceptible to US immigration laws. For persons accused of criminal offenses, incarceration isjust one consequence of a conviction. Persons who are “aliens” (non-citizens) may also besubject to deportation as a result of their conviction of certain crimes. Crimes for which noncitizensmay be subject to deportation are: (1) aggravated felonies; (2) crimes of moral turpitude;(3) controlled substances offenses; (4) domestic violence; (5) firearms offenses. Chart detailingan aliens criminal arrest to deportation process is provided at the end of this Section.Mayor Vincent C. Gray signed an executive order on October 18, 2011clarifying that the District’s public-safety officials will not inquire into theimmigration status of individuals or transmit information about immigrationstatus to federal agencies except when that status pertains directly to a criminalinvestigation. This executive order ensures public safety by ensuring that ourpolice resources are deployed wisely and our immigrant communities feel safecooperating with those who are sworn to protect them. The District is home tothousands of immigrants. If they are afraid to cooperate with authorities oncriminal investigations because they fear it might endanger their presence in theUnited States or the presence of a loved one, then it endangers their publicsafety and that of our entire city. The order directs District public-safetyofficials not to detain individuals on the basis of immigration status.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Sexual Minority <strong>Service</strong>sXXI. LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER SERVICESLesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) individuals encounter a unique set ofcircumstances when interacting with law enforcement and social service organizations. Lawenforcement (police, marshals, corrections) respond strictly to the gender of the individual.LGBT persons are placed in facilities according to their biological gender. Specialaccommodations are generally made only if the LGBT individual demonstrates danger to self orothers.The District of Columbia 8 along with a growing number of other states and municipalities haveadopted human rights laws that require employers, housing providers, public accommodationsand educational institutions to provide services to transgender individuals in a manner consistentwith their identity or expression, rather than according to their presumed or assigned sex orgender.Gender Reassignment: An individual who is biologically one gender and lives the life of theother gender can have his gender identity reassigned even if that individual has not been alteredphysically. To apply for change of gender designation the applicant must submit a completedDMV “Gender Designation Form” on-line or at any DMV location. The form requires astatement from a physician, licensed therapist or counselor, case worker or social worker whocan certify that the applicant has been, is currently, and will continue in the unforeseeable futureto live as the gender for which he/she is applying. The cost of the new identification card is $7.A changed ID card can help avoid problems when trying to access programs such as publicaccommodations (shelter, restrooms etc).Same-sex marriage: Same sex couples can legally marry in DC.
