Title
Joint resolution authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to house federal work release inmates in the Community Based Corrections Center.
Staff Summary
· The Community Based Corrections Center (work release) currently has continually vacant beds in open units and these vacancies will allow the maximum amount of 10 federal work release inmates to be housed in the CBCC.
· On average the CBCC has 27 vacant male beds and 45 vacant female beds in open units and a contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house federal work release inmates will allow the Sheriff to collect additional revenue without the need to open any additional units or add staff.
· The contract amount for the first year is $89.39 per inmate, per day and has been reviewed by the Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Finance and Administration. If an increase is justified, the Sheriff can submit a request to BOP to amend the contract rate on an annual basis.
· This rate includes basic medical services for the federal work release inmates and invoices for any outside medical treatment must be forward to BOP within seven (7) days of receipt.
· This rate includes all services provided and expenses incurred by the Sheriff’s Office Correctional Division except for those costs that are not allowed federally including retirement and indirect costs.
· This is a three year agreement and allows the Sheriff’s Office to recoup some of its costs for the operation of the CBCC for beds that continually remain vacant in open units.
