DATE'. June 2, 1988 co 1�
SUBJECT: �+
Legislation: Senate Bill 2869 (Keene)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND .AP[:) JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of SB 2869 by Senator Keene which
would reimburse the County for the costs of housing a person who
is sentenced to State prison and who is entitled to credit on
their State prison term because of the time spent in the County
jail.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law, a county is entitled to reimbursement from
the State for certain costs incurred in connection with State
prisoners. The Sheriff reports that SB 2869, which has been
introduced by Senator Keene, would authorize the county full
reimbursement for prisoners who have been convicted, but are
awaiting the processing of commitment papers. In an average
month, the Sheriff has 55 such commitments awaiting transfer to a
State prison. These individuals remain in custody an average of
four weeks waiting for the Superior Court to process the
commitment papers.
At the current State-approved jail rate for the main detention
facility of $48. 43 per day, the Sheriff estimates that the County
could receive $958,914 per year if SB 2869 were enacted into law.
The Sheriff recommends that the Board of Supervisors strongly
support SB 2866 and this office concurs in that recommendation.
