maintenance of county detention facilities, review of modifications at the Martinez
Detention Facilities related to better housing of mentally ill inmates and treatment
staff, further exploration of various alternatives to incarceration, judicial
bottlenecks and electronic monitoring, further work on inmate education and
development of a jail industries program, and review of the need for county jail sites
in the future.
The Commission has developed a work plan for the next two years which includes the
following:
1. Sponsorship of Mentally Ill in Criminal Justice System Workshop with
Sheriff's Department and Mental Health Advisory Committee, June 7, 1990.
2. Recruitment of volunteers to work at the West County Justice Center.
3. Development of countywide support for the Prison Inmate Labor Initiative of
