Analysis of this information and related riscal impact data was used to form <br />the following recommended implementation ranking: <br />Temporary Jail Holding Facility <br />Recommended Ranking: Jail Reuse Implementation Option #1 <br />The second potential Jail reuse feasibility option the consultant team analyzed focused on a Jail use <br />scenario which involves maintaining the City Jail as a Type II adult detention facility which has expanded <br />rehabilitative services including community reentry transitional treatment programs for incarcerated Santa <br />Ana residents. The Jail reentry treatment housing and counseling services operational model could be <br />implemented with City custody staff supplemented with newly hired, experienced reentry community <br />program specialists and contract qualified "best practice" service providers. The expanded programming <br />could be directed at sentenced offenders using a leased facility arrangement for detention beds with <br />another correctional agency including (1) the United States Bureau of Prisons, and/or (2) California <br />Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). <br />Expansion of City Jail inmate services would include (a) evidence -based risk and needs assessments, (b) <br />cognitive behavioral therapy, (c) mental health and alcohol / drug counseling, (d) job / education <br />assistance, and (e) development of transitional reentry plans. This feasibility option with its targeted <br />reentry programming / treatment intervention models would utilize the 168,243 square feet of useable <br />space contained in the four -level footprint of the entire Jail complex. <br />Santa Ana City Jail Reuse Feasibility Study <br />Reuse Option Scenario Jail Use as a Transitional Community <br />Analysis and Assessment: Reentry Treatment Facility <br />I <br />The assessment information and supporting data which the consultant team developed is summarized <br />and highlighted in the following analysis: <br />Operational Information, Fiscal Analysis and Advantages / Disadvantages Considerations <br />A. Description of Jail Reuse Option: This Jail Reuse Feasibility Option would continue <br />the operational use of the Type II City Jail as a new transitional community reentry <br />treatment facility. Established Jail policies and procedures would still be in effect. <br />The facility would also comply with State detention standards governing detainee <br />incarceration practices. Implementation of this option would require access and daily <br />use of the four floors in the existing detention facility. The reentry treatment facility <br />would likely be staffed with available City custody personnel and newly hired, reentry <br />specialists who are supplemented with community-based contract service providers. <br />Both the reentry specialists and trained service providers would be knowledgeable <br />with "best practice" jail inmate reentry assessments, programming, and rehabilitative <br />treatment and transitional community follow-up services for released convicted <br />offenders. The reentry programming and services could be directed to sentenced <br />offenders using a contract detention bed agreement with outside correctional <br />agencies including (1) United States Bureau of Prisons, and/or (2) California <br />Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). <br />72 <br />65A-79 <br />
