Program provisions of the County Ordinance Code (Chapter 1104-4).

Fund and then offset the cost of the Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff proposes the Inmate Sign Program to use County detention facility labor to produce metal,plastic
and vinyl signs and awards for the County, cities and other public and non-profit entities.
The purposes of the program will be to enhance the inmates' abilities to become productive members of the
community upon release from custody,improve the inmates'productivity while incarcerated,promote inmate
socialization,reduce inmate idleness while in custody, and provide needed signs to entities at a reasonable cost.
Inmates will participate in the program on a voluntary basis. The ordinance sets forth criteria for the inmate
eligibility for the program, performance standards for inmate participation, and reasons for inmate removal
from the program.
The Sheriff will administer the program. Program staffing will include a contract instructor who will oversee
the daily operation of the program,and other County staff,educators and qualified volunteers.
The Sheriff will adopt rules and regulations governing the operation of the program,
The Sheriff will set the price of signs and awards at reasonable amounts,taking into consideration the funds
needed to reimburse the Inmate"'Welfare Fund and to offset program costs.
COMEC, UE.NCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION-
The inmate sign program will not be established. This opportunity to provide training to inmates which would
enhance their ability to become contributing members of society upon release would be lost. The vocational
training opportunities available to inmates would not be expanded to the extent afforded by the Inmate Welfare
Fund.
