- By Gil Gilbertson
- Josephine County Sheriff Candidate
-
- Out of 36 counties in Oregon, we are the only one to
restrict the number of prisoners incarcerated at a number less than full capacity. We are
filling only 120 beds of our 262-bed jail and releasing up to 75 felons each month. The
Board of Commissioners, under direction of the Sheriff, proclaimed a ratio of 1 deputy to
5 inmates as an absolute. (emphasis added) Using this logic, we could have saved
ourselves a lot of money by not building the new jail. (emphasis added)
In 2003, a recommendation presented to our "then" county commissioners
proposed a limit on the number of inmates incarcerated in our jail. The Board of
Commissioners adopted the recommendations made by the Sheriff, agreed upon by the District
Attorney, and Legal Counsel in compliance with Oregon law. See Oregon Revised Statute
169.042 thru 046, and JOCO Court ORDER No. 2003-023. (emphasis added)
-
- In reviewing the minutes of that meeting,
(emphasis added) it became apparent the "stated" premise of the ratio of
1 deputy per 5 inmates (emphasis added) was based on square footage of
jail space in the antiquated jail (emphasis added) located in the basement of the
county court house. This same formula (emphasis added) was applied
to our new state-of-the-art jail (emphasis added) without consideration
of all the safety features (emphasis added) included.
-
- How does one determine the number of deputies required
to operate our jail? A member of the National Sheriff Association Executive Board recently
told me, "There is no magic formula because every jail is different." (emphasis
added)
-
- Based on my experience and carefully researching the issue
I believe we need to re-examine the logic behind imposing such a limit and the need of our
current "emergency release" program. Releasing criminals back into our community
is certainly depressing not to mention putting our citizens safety and
well-being at risk. What deterrent remains to abate further criminal activity?
Unfortunately, recent studies cited by the Multnomah County Sheriffs Office Resource
Analysis Unit show that it is evident an increase in crimes closely parallels the early
release of inmates.
-
- I cast absolutely no aspersions on the dedicated and
professional correction deputies working hard to maintain safety in our community
but rather, identify a problem within the control of our current sheriff administration,
and offer additional information for their reconsideration on this issue.
- The safety of our inmates and deputies is extremely
important. With this in mind, special features were included in the design of our modern
jail. Our facility was compartmentalized with smaller rooms (called "pods")
separating the number of inmates into smaller, more manageable groups. In addition, other
security features such as cameras, electronically controlled doors and controlled movement
of personnel are utilized.
-
- With proper supervision, protocols, training,
rehearsed emergency drills, and better use of available resources, crisis encounters are
diminished, if not eliminated. If overcrowding ever becomes problematic within a common
room in the facility, one could employ a simple time-sharing schedule. In my opinion, the
preceding conditions should determine the number of positions (posts) required to staff a
jail. Further, multiply the number of positions by the shifts add a standard
formula to determine labor relief and you identify the number of personnel needed. (emphasis
added)
-
- Understandably, the sheriff does not wish to see a
reduction in the work force nor should the residents of this county. The citizens
of JOCO should demand more, not less, full-time professional deputies for obvious reasons.
However, until we can afford them, there are other temporary resources available, but
seemingly, the current sheriffs administration refuses to engage them.
-
- Yamhill County (Oregon) is a classic example of what an
efficient and professionally managed jail can do. Although this county is 55% smaller in
area than Josephine, with a population of approximately 10,000 more citizens, and has a
budget comparable to ours, Sheriff Crabtree has two fewer corrections deputies, yet
continually fills his older, less efficient 250-bed jail to full capacity. Why can we not
do better with our state-of-the-art facility? (emphasis added)
-
- I submit the following for review Commissioners: (1)
review the need for having a "cap" using the criteria prescribed by law, (2)
since the county is self-insured, determine what impact this may have, if any, on our
liability, and (3) require a realistic assessment of the situation, and (4) Adjust
accordingly. In addition, the Sheriffs office should, (1) develop a strategy whereby
Josephine County can manage their inmates similar to what the other 35 counties do
emulate the demonstrated successes throughout the state, (2) better utilize available
resources, and (3) use prudent judgment relative to early release of inmates back into our
community.
-
- I believe we can resolve this "self-imposed"
dilemma. Solutions are as plain as day with proper management this issue can be
turned around and our community will be safer for doing so. After all, of the 36 counties
in Oregon, why are we the only one that cannot get it right we certainly are not
the only county concerned with "safety, or the only county dealing with reduced
available dollars."

-
- (1) If a county court or board adopts a jail capacity limit
under ORS 169.044 (Action on recommendation) and the number of inmates in its local
correctional facility exceeds that capacity limit so that a county jail population
emergency exists, the sheriff shall notify the presiding circuit judge, each municipal
court judge and justice of the peace in the county, the district attorney for the county,
the county counsel, the chief law enforcement officer for each city located in the county
and the county court or board of commissioners that the number of inmates in the local
correctional facility has exceeded capacity and that a county jail population emergency
exists.
- (2) If the county court or board has adopted a jail
capacity limit and action plan under ORS 169.044 (Action on recommendation) and if a
county jail population emergency occurs under the terms of the plan, the county court or
board and the county sheriff may carry out the steps of the plan. This includes any
authorization, under the plan, for the sheriff to order inmates released in order to
reduce the jail population. A sheriff shall be immune from criminal or civil liability for
any good faith release of inmates under ORS 169.042 (Maximum facility population) to
169.046 (Notice of county jail population emergency).
- (3) If it becomes necessary to order inmates released under
ORS 169.042 (Maximum facility population) to 169.046 (Notice of county jail population
emergency), or if it appears to the sheriff that release of inmates is likely to become
necessary in the near future, the sheriff shall immediately notify all police agencies in
the county to make maximum use of citations in lieu of custody pursuant to ORS 133.055
(Criminal citation) to 133.076 (Failure to appear on criminal citation) until further
notice.
- (4) If it becomes necessary to order the release of inmates
under ORS 169.042 (Maximum facility population) to 169.046 (Notice of county jail
population emergency), the sheriff may place inmates on forced release subject to a forced
release agreement. A forced release agreement must be in writing and be signed by the
sheriff and the inmate and must include:
- (a) The date of the next court appearance of the inmate;
- (b) A statement that the inmate is required to appear at
the next court appearance; and
- (c) A statement that failure of the inmate to appear at the
next court appearance is subject to prosecution under ORS 162.195 (Failure to appear in
the second degree) or 162.205 (Failure to appear in the first degree). [1989 c.884

-
- Neither NIC nor the American Corrections Association in
their accreditation standards support staff/inmate ratios as a measurement of adequate
staffing, post coverage, or supervision of inmates. NIC does not make any
recommendations in terms of staff/inmate ratios.
-
- The process for determining adequate staffing for a jail
facility, and make it defensible, is to conduct a staffing analysis on a facility by
facility basis. There are simply too many variables such as physical plant design,
level of security, level of programs and activities, state and local standard and
statutes, etc. to recommend a specific officer to inmate ratio.

PUBLIC SAFETY FUND DESCRIPTION (PSF, page 160/764)
The Public Safety Fund was formed in 2006. It was comprised of three departments: Sheriff,
District Attorney, and Community Justice, which had previously been in the General Fund.
The Community Justice Department was further reorganized into Juvenile Justice and Adult
Corrections. In 2007, Adult Corrections was moved to a separate fund. The Sheriff and
District Attorney are elected officials. The manager of the Juvenile Justice Department
reports to a liaison County Commissioner. The departments within this fund provide support
for the criminal justice system utilized by city, county and state law enforcement. County
wide services include court prosecution, civil services, the jail and juvenile facility.
The budget is in balance, which means that the budgeted requirements (expenditures and
ending fund balance) are equal to the resources (beginning fund balance and revenues) that
are estimated to be available during the budget year. The primary source of revenue to
operate the departments in this Fund had been monies received under the Troubled Assets
Relief Program (TARP) and a transfer from the General Fund. Additionally, programs
operated by the three departments generate revenues for specific program purposes. The
TARP "county payments" money replaced the O&C distributions that the County
received for many years.
A summary of the Public Safety Fund (Resources and Requirements) is presented first in the
Josephine County, Oregon Adopted Budget FY 2015-16, followed by sections for each of the
three departments. The money available for them is equal to total resources of the fund,
less the requirement for Internal Service Fund charges. Major reductions in programs
occurred in FY 2012-13 due to the loss of funding and five percent reductions have been
occurring annually since.
For each department, there is a summary of its programs (Schedule A), which in turn is
supported by a Program Worksheet (Schedule B) for each program. Schedule B provides
information about the purpose of the program, how much revenue it is expected to generate
during the budget year, and a breakdown of its expenditure budget by the categories
specified in Oregon Local Budget Law.
Schedules C, D, and E provide details of resources, personal services and other
expenditures, respectively.

- Oregon Revised Statutes requires that at least once yearly,
a grand jury shall inquire into the condition and management of every correctional
facility and youth correction facility in the county.
-
- Each year witnesses are called before the grand jury who
represent a wide range of individuals whose lives and careers are affected by the
operations of corrections in our community. They include government and political leaders,
defense counsel, inmates, supervisory authority personnel and correction employees. The
observations, conclusions and recommendations of the grand jury's annual report are based
upon the testimony of these witnesses, from the facts and figures they provided, and from
observations of the grand jury as it tours the county's correctional facilities.
- Three correctional facilities are operated within Jackson
County. Two of those facilities are under the supervision of the county sheriff; the third
is a juvenile detention facility which is operated by the Department of Community
Corrections.
