PRETRIAL RELEASE PROGRAMS

OWN RECOGNIZANCE (OR): The purpose of the Own Recognizance Program is to interview eligible in-custody defendants and present their cases to a judicial officer for possible pre-arraignment release on their own recognizance.

SUPERVISED PRE-TRIAL RELEASE (SPR): SPR is an alternative for those who do not qualify for OR and cannot post bail. SPR is a conditional release program with a promise to abide by court ordered conditions. Client compliance is closely supervised by staff.

COURT ACCOUNTABLE HOMELESS SERVICES (CAHS): CAHS provides the most intensive supervision on the continuum of pretrial incarceration alternatives. CAHS seeks to address chronic homelessness and concurring court appearances through intensive case management.

ELECTRONIC MONITORING (EM): EM allows the department to supervise remotely individuals who would otherwise be in custody. Devices provide information to track the individual’s location and/or consumption of alcohol. A case manager works with the individual to develop schedules appropriate for rehabilitation, including family time, work, education, therapy and community-building.

“Over the past few year, there has been a significant reduction in the SFSD jail

population. The San Francisco jail and other forms of correctional control

(probation, parole, prison and jail) are well below the rates for California and the

U.S. … This historic effort has also served to harden the residual jail population

which is changing the number and type of prisoners to be housed.”

James Austin, Ph. D. JFA Institute

IN-CUSTODY PROGRAMS

Sisters in Sober Treatment Empowered in Recovery (SISTER), is a gender-specific substance abuse treatment and behavior management program. Roads to Recovery is an in-custody substance abuse program for men in the S.F. county jail. Case management services within the jail are the foundation of the program, along with referrals and linkages to community-based services. Resolve to Stop the Violence Project (RSVP) is a survivor-centered program for violent offenders based on a restorative justice model. RSVP is driven by victim restoration, offender accountability, and community involvement. Community of Veterans Engaged in Restoration (COVER) is designed for veterans of all the branches of the United States Military, regardless of the character of discharge. Keys to Change is a program which focuses on an individual's capacity to change the behaviors that led them to incarceration. Daily process groups, AA and NA meetings, cognitive behavioral classes, meditation and case management are tools. Five Keys Charter School: First charter high school in an adult detention facility.

Prisoner Classification


The San Francisco Sheriff’s Department Classification System has been developed in order to maintain the safety of prisoners and

staff to prevent problems associated with victimization and to ensure uniformity in the

operations at all jail facilities.

Prisoner Classification Goals

• To ensure that no one is discriminated against in the classification process because of race, color, national origin, religious belief, gender identity, political belief, physical impairment and/or medical condition

• To provide a system-wide, consolidated method of managing the population, that contributes to the security, safety and dignity of prisoners and staff

Classification Authority

• SFSD Policy and Procedure

CODM 6.01, 6.02 & 6.06

• CA Penal Code 4002(a)

• Title 15, Article 10 – Section 3375 (a)

Prisoner Classification Guiding Factors

• Objective: Not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective evaluation

• Criminal Sophistication: A state of mind in conjunction with one’s criminal experience and threat potential

Classification Process Review of Criminal History:

• CII (California Information and Identification)

• NCIC ( National Crime and Information Center)

• Institutional disciplinary history to determine risk potential

Interview:

• A confidential, face to face interview with each custody

Prisoner Classification Evaluation Categories

• Current Charges (Felony or Misdemeanor)

• Serious offense history (prior felonies)

• Escape history

• Institutional disciplinary history

• Substance abuse resulting in assaultive behavior

• Stability factors – Age, employment, housing

Prisoner Classification Points (Objective Score):

• 1 – 4 = MINIMUM

• 5 – 9 = MEDIUM

• 10 or higher = MAXIMUM


THREE CUSTODY LEVELS

• MINIMUM (No risk potential) = Custodies whose assessment factors indicate a low sophistication level or are slightly vulnerable, but do not exhibit a need for heightened protection

SFSD Prisoner Classification

• MEDIUM (Some risk potential) = Custodies whose assessment factors indicate a high potential for at-risk behavior, but do not reasonably demonstrate a current risk. May or may not have a prison history.


• MAXIMUM (High risk potential) = Custodies whose assessment factors indicate a current high level of violence and/or sophistication which requires a more restrictive environment than other general population levels

Prisoner Classification Re-Classification

Prisoner reclassification is used to update and review a custody’s initial classification. Reclassification is completed at regular intervals of 30, 60, and 90 days.

Primary function is to monitor adjustment and bring attention to any emerging problems, that may result in a change of housing assignment or classification level.

Prisoner Classification Administrative Segregation

Housing areas for individuals who:

• Pose a threat to other custodies

• Need protection from other custodies

• Are disruptive in the general population – Requires supervisor’s approval

– Reviewed within 7 days of placement by Classification

– Reviewed every 14 days thereafter

Identified Gangs – including subsets SURENO – 7 NORTENO – 10

BLACK – 34

WHITE – 4

This population poses one of the greatest challenges for housing safely. There are currently 108 beds in 15 different housing units

dedicated to these groups.
