DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, PAROLE BOARD – OVERVIEW
Dorla M. Salling, Chairman, State Board of Parole Commissioners:
I will now deliver my Power Point presentation (Exhibit C).
Public Safety, Parole Board – Budget page PS-167 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3800
Our increased use of videoconferencing was achieved by borrowing U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) video equipment already available at the prisons. We connect through the community college videoconferencing system, so there was no cost to the parole board.
Senator Rhoads:
On slide 2-E, what is the difference between the terms “favorable” and “released?”
Ms. Salling:
They can be granted parole on one sentence, but may have an additional consecutive sentence that prevents them from being released.
Assemblyman Marvel:
What would it cost to buy videoconferencing equipment?
Ms. Salling:
It would cost $54,780 over the next 2 years.
I will resume my presentation at slide 2-F.
Senator Rhoads:
How does having 7 percent of our inmates on death row compare with the national average?
Ms. Salling:
I do not know.
Senator Rhoads:
Can you move the video equipment from one place to another?
Ms. Salling:
It is on a cart, but it requires a special telephone line.
Senator Rhoads:
Does the $54,780 provide videoconferencing equipment for both offices? Do you have room for it in both offices?
Ms. Salling:
Yes, it would include equipment for both offices and the telephone line charge. There would be an annual line fee each year after that. We do have room in both offices for it.
Senator Rhoads:
You hold hearings in 20 locations; will two sets of equipment be enough?
Ms. Salling:
Yes, the prisons will use the INS equipment. We need only to purchase the equipment on our end of the conference. The women’s prison does not have INS equipment, so we will go there to do hearings.
Assemblyman Parks:
Should we set up videoconferencing centers in northern and southern Nevada for use by all State agencies?
Ms. Salling:
Because of the open meeting laws, we often get bumped from rooms in the community college. If we do not get this equipment, we will need bumping rights. If we get the equipment, we would be happy to share it with other State agencies when it is not in use.
Assemblyman Parks:
How often do victims and family members come to the hearings? Would you have room to accommodate these people?
Ms. Salling:
Anywhere from 5 to 30 people attend. If it were an extremely high profile case, we would have to move to a larger space.
Senator Rhoads:
Is the $54,780 for the videoconferencing equipment in the budget?
Ms. Salling:
Yes. It was submitted and the Governor approved it.
Senator Coffin:
I know there are many people who are afraid to be in the same room with an offender. Videoconferencing gives them the confidence to come forward and be heard.
Senator Rhoads:
Why were the parole revocation rates lower than the performance indicator projections for fiscal year (FY) 2001 and FY 2002? Do you grant paroles in the same percentage as the number of inmates coming in to the system?
Ms. Salling:
The revocation rates were lower because there were less people in prison and because the Division of Parole and Probation has done a good job working with parolees.
When granting paroles we do not look at percentages. We evaluate them on a case-by-case basis, with public safety as out first concern.
Assemblyman Marvel:
What is your rate of recidivism? Is there any pressure to grant paroles as a result of the budget crisis?
Ms. Salling:
Our parole revocation rate is between 30 and 40 percent. We are under no financial pressure to grant paroles.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Do you have any fears that something like the Officer Larry Johnson killing, several years ago, will occur again?
Ms. Salling:
No. I think we have adequate staffing and have taken measures to improve the time it takes to review parole violations. I feel confident we are making good decisions.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
There is a recommended reduction of 50 percent in drug testing of parolees. Does it affect your decisions knowing you will be drug testing so few?
Ms. Salling:
I have confidence that the parole officers will make good decisions about who should be drug tested.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
So you think 50 percent drug testing is fine?
Ms. Salling:
Yes, if it is used judiciously.
Assemblyman Parks:
Does your agency really average 30 hearings per workday? Do you use contracted hearing representatives?
Ms. Salling:
Yes, videoconferencing, and other time-saving policies have made that number manageable. While the law allows us to use privately contracted hearing representatives, the increased use of videoconferencing will allow us to reduce the need for them.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
If the parole revocation rate is down because the prison population is lower, should we adjust the prison population projection model?
Ms. Salling:
We obtained the FY 2004 and FY 2005 figures from a model done by George Washington University.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
I think our staff should work with yours to see if we can adjust that rate.
Senator Rhoads:
Will the 50-percent reduction in your training budget affect your efficiency?
Ms. Salling:
No, we can accomplish our mandated training through videoconferencing.
Senator Tiffany:
State Department of Corrections Director Crawford was quoted in the newspaper as saying that 2500 prisoners would be released if this budget were not approved. I do not see these numbers reflected in your release‑rate projections. Would these offenders have to be processed through your office before being released?
Ms. Salling:
Yes, they would have to be eligible for parole before being released.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, PAROLE AND PROBATION – OVERVIEW
David Kieckbusch, Deputy Director, Department of Public Safety:
I would like to introduce Amy Wright, Chief of the Division of Parole and Probation.
Amy Wright, Chief, Division of Parole and Probation, Department of Public Safety:
I will review my handout Parole and Probation (Exhibit D).
Public Safety, Parole and Probation – Budget Page PS-90 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3740
.
Senator Rhoads:
Whom do you compete with when hiring? Are the 60 vacancies in your division higher than normal?
Ms. Wright:
We compete with other local law enforcement agencies. The 60 vacancies are much higher than normal due to the hiring freeze.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Why is your management staff not being reduced?
Ms. Wright:
I will get back to you with that information.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Are the 60 vacancies all sworn positions?
Ms. Wright:
No, 11 of those vacancies are sworn positions.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Why are supervision fee collections down?
Ms. Wright:
We shifted focus to victim restitution.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
What percentage of restitution are we collecting?
Ms. Wright:
We have made great increases in both our supervisor and restitution fees. We believe by the end of the current fiscal year we will be very close to the $2.9 million included in the FY 2003 budget.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Will the elimination of two revenue officer positions affect your collection efforts?
Ms. Wright:
The positions have been vacant for a long time, and do not have anything to do with collections.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Have you considered raising the supervisory fees?
Ms. Wright:
No, it is difficult enough collecting fees at the current rate.
Assemblyman Marvel:
What happens if they do not pay the fee?
Ms. Wright:
If offenders are unable to pay the fee, their parole will not be revoked.
Senator Tiffany:
How will the probation court and the new restitution center help you? Would it help you in staffing?
Ms. Wright:
I do not know enough about the probation court situation to reply. The restitution center would be helpful. We will reevaluate our staffing needs when we know how many offenders they process.
Senator Tiffany:
The number of prisoners projected to be released appears to be steady. Why do you need increases?
Ms. Wright:
Our immediate problem is the number of vacant positions.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
Have probation officers expressed concern about the reduction in drug testing?
Ms. Wright:
Yes, some officers have expressed concern.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
Why are there limited funds for drug testing parolees, but Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is seeing an increase in funding for drug testing? I am concerned that we are cutting drug testing but not management positions.
Assemblyman Perkins:
Who is currently maintaining the vehicles if you can afford to lose four positions from the motor pool?
Ms. Wright:
We have reduced our in-state travel, and returned 15 vehicles. The four positions are vacant. Reducing the fleet to less than 175 vehicles will affect the ability of officers to supervise offenders.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Does your department determine where parolees are housed? Are there private companies that secure housing for parolees? Do your officers work with theBureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse (BADA) to see if the parolees are complying with rehabilitation?
Ms. Wright:
We investigate the housing to see if it is appropriate, and require the operators to comply with the licensing requirements of BADA.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS – OVERVIEW
Darrel Rexwinkel, Assistant Director, Support Services, Department
of Corrections:
I will review the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) director’s office budget.
NDOC Director’s Office – Budget Page NDOC –1 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3710
Senator Rhoads:
Have past projections been accurate?
Glen Whorton, Assistant Director, Operations, Department of Corrections:
Our projections are significantly higher than our current prison population. As of this morning, we have 9345 male inmates; we anticipated 10,101.
Senator Rhoads:
Is the inmate population increasing at the same rate as the State population?
Mr. Whorton:
While the State population is growing at 2 percent a year, our prison population is growing at 3 percent.
Senator Rhoads:
What is the cost of keeping a prisoner for a year?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
For FY 2005, the cost per inmate in an institution will be $14,500 per year. An inmate of a minimum-security remote camp will cost $7595 and $6439 in a non-remote camp. The restitution center costs $10,470 per year. This does not include medical or administration costs. Medical and administration is another $ 4395 per inmate each year.
Senator Rhoads:
Are there any plans for building more of the less-costly conservation camps?
Mr. Whorton:
We do not have plans to expand the camps. Several years from now we plan to modify existing buildings.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will continue reading the NDOC Director’s Office budget, at maintenance item 200, Demographics/Caseload Changes on page NDOC-4, and continue through item 955, Transfer to B/A 3711 Correctional Programs, on page NDOC-10.
We intend to begin pre-employment psychological testing as other public safety agencies do, both in Nevada and in other states.
NDOC has statutory responsibility for victims services and we will require a Victims Services Officer.
NDOC has received $4.9 million in grant. We feel the Grants Officer position we are requesting will help us increase the amount of this money.
Senator Rhoads:
After June 30, 2003, are you still intending to house the Wyoming inmates? Does the department make money on that?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
We plan to renew the contract for up to 2 more years. We do make money on this.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Have you noticed a decrease in the clothing allowance since the Lovelock facility began making clothes?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
We have not seen enough of a change to make an adjustment.
Assemblyman Parks:
Why is the Wyoming contract not in the Executive Budget?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
The Wyoming contract did not come about until after the Executive Budget was completed. Also, we have no assurance at this time that the contract will be renewed.
Assemblyman Parks:
This subcommittee should have numbers regarding the budgetary impact of these Wyoming inmates. Also, what are you hoping to gain from the consolidation of your transportation division?
Mr. Whorton:
By putting all of our transportation resources under a central authority we will become more efficient, avoid duplication of effort, and move resources where they are most needed.
Senator Rhoads:
Why has nothing been done on that with regard to the three correctional institutions in Carson City?
Mr. Whorton:
We are looking into that.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
Why would we approve more money for drug testing prisoners than we do parolees?
Mr. Whorton:
We have federal requirements and policy requirements that we test 5 percent of the inmates each month, and 10 percent each December.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
The Division of Parole and Probation has reduced its drug testing budget to $26,000 per year. You are asking for $180,000 per year. Why is the cost so high?
Mr. Whorton:
We test 5 percent of our population, and everyone involved in a substance abuse program, once a month. We also test if we have a reason to believe the inmate is using drugs.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
Is that by statute?
Mr. Whorton:
Some is by federal regulation and some is by policy. We must get confirmatory tests because of the right to liberty issue. That issue is pertinent because we take away statutory good-time credit if they test positive.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
Are parolees who are found with drugs returned to prison?
Mr. Whorton:
They can be.
Assemblyman Parks:
Why are you doing away with the locksmith position?
Mr. Whorton:
We have other employees with locksmith skills.
Assemblyman Griffin:
What happens if a prisoner tests positively for drugs?
Mr. Whorton:
We do a confirmatory drug test. If that test confirms drug use, a disciplinary hearing is held. If the offender is found guilty, a statutory good-time referral is made to the chief of offender management. The chief determines whether statutory good-time is taken.
Assemblywoman Leslie:
How many people test positive for drugs? In your budget, how can the base for drug testing go from $100,216 in FY 2001 to $174,000 per year in the next biennium? Should this be reflected in enhancements rather than base?
Mr. Whorton:
I do not know the answer to those questions; I will get you that information.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
The next budget item I will review is the Warm Springs Correctional Center.
Warm Springs Correctional Center – Budget Page NDOC –27 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3716
Assemblyman Marvel:
Are we using the cook/chill food processing system?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
Because of the length of time involved in doing a feasibility study on the cook/chill system, we decided to wait for another 2 years.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Do we have space at the High Desert facility for this processing?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
The plan is to implement it first in southern Nevada, and then expand.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Has the Willing Inmates in Nevada Gaining Sobriety (WINGS) program ever been done by bid? Are you re-classifying the forensic employees as correctional officers? Is the underlying objective to get them a salary increase?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
We recently selected a vendor for WINGS.
We are reclassifying the forensic positions as correctional officers, but not just for the salary increase. We actually need more correctional officers.
Mr. Whorton:
We intend to use them as correctional officers with special skills. Their primary function is providing custody, and they should be compensated for that.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Is not the forensic position more medical than custodial? Is this a case of management redefining what the job is?
Mr. Whorton:
They have always done more custody work than medical work.
Assemblyman Parks:
Once this correctional center is converted to a minimum-security facility, why will it be more expensive to run than your other minimum-security facilities?
Mr. Whorton:
In the past we required inmates be within 18 months of probable release before being transferred to a reduced custody facility. We recently adjusted that to 36 months. This will increase the population of the correctional center. This is also a larger facility than minimum-security camps. Many inmates coming to this facility cannot go to the camps because of health requirements.
Senator Rhoads:
Will this facility have its own warden? Why will you still have five administrative positions now that it is changing from medium to minimum security?
Mr. Whorton:
The current warden there will retain that position. She also supervises the Silver Springs Conservation Camp and the Northern Nevada Restitution Center. We will keep the five administrative positions because the amount of work actually increases, as inmates get closer to release.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Why do we need a separate warden and so many subordinate management positions? Why are you using a different administrative pattern than you do in the camps?
Mr. Whorton:
It is twice the size of a camp. We hire wardens based on the size of facility and scope of responsibility.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Why do you still have staff in the tower?
Mr. Whorton:
I will look into that.
Senator Rhoads:
Have you talked to the State Division of Forestry about using these inmates for work programs? Was the garbage disposal problem at this facility resolved?
Mr. Whorton:
Yes. We are developing programs with the State Division of Forestry.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
We now have a private disposal company pick up the garbage.
Assemblyman Parks:
When will the plans for the conversion of this facility be ready?
Rex Reed, Administrator, Offender Management Division, Department of Corrections:
The planning documents will be available for you next week.
Dorothy Nash Holmes, Mental Health Programs Administrator, Department of Corrections:
I will review the budget request for correctional programs.
Correctional Programs – Budget Page NDOC –33 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3711
Senator Rhoads:
When will you have some performance indicators?
Ms. Holmes:
As soon as we get organized I will report that to you.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Will these programs reduce recidivism?
Ms. Holmes:
National research shows these programs can reduce recidivism by 30 percent, and 75 percent in the area of drug treatment.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Have you been able to track the result of the drug and alcohol program in the Lovelock facility?
Ms. Holmes:
Not from Lovelock, but the statistics from the WINGS program at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center show only a 20 percent recidivism rate.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Why are the four academic teacher positions not supported by the offender Store Fund and Inmate Welfare Account, as originally approved when this program was created?
Offender’s Store Fund – Budget Page NDOC –138 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 240-3708
Inmate Welfare Account – Budget Page NDOC –143 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 240-3763
Mr. Rexwinkel:
The Store Fund revenue, derived from store sales and telephone use, is transferred in to the Inmate Welfare Account. We project this revenue will be reduced in the biennium and will be insufficient to support the programs. Reduction in revenue is due to the anticipated decline in prison population growth and the MCI WorldCom bankruptcy, which caused the store fund to have a $500,000 shortfall.
Ms. Holmes:
Inmates must pay a 25-percent cash match for the drug treatment grant and the rest of the money in the Inmate Welfare Account is being used for indigent medical expenses.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
The welfare fund also pays for gate money and property damage done by inmates.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Is there a business plan?
Ms. Holmes:
Yes, I will provide you with a copy.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
You only have four chaplain positions? How many different drug programs do you have within the prison system?
Ms. Holmes:
Yes, we only have four chaplains. By American Correctional Association (ACA) standards we should have 20 chaplains. We have been filling in with volunteers. We have two treatment programs, WINGS in northern Nevada and Offenders Acting in Solidarity to Insure Sobriety (OASIS) in the south. We have psychologists at various camps to help with chemical abuse issues.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Do you have literacy programs in the prison system? Is there a requirement that prisoners pass a General Educational Development (GED) test, if capable of doing it? Do you have another literacy standard if they cannot pass a GED?
Ms. Holmes:
There is no other literacy program. There is a policy that inmates pass a GED test before leaving prison, but by statute, they must only achieve an 8th grade proficiency level.
Assemblyman Marvel:
Do inmates know that medical costs for an indigent inmate comes out of their welfare fund? Has it cut down on the number of sick calls?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
Yes, the inmates are aware of the costs. I do not know if the numbers of sick calls are down.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will review our budget request for the Casa Grande Transition Housing.
Casa Grande Transition Housing – Budget Page NDOC –38 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3760
Senator Rhoads:
How was this transition accomplished in the past? If this were not built, what would happen?
Mr. Whorton:
In the past, this transition was accomplished through restitution centers, but the Southern Nevada Restitution Center closed. We do not currently have a transition facility in southern Nevada. If this facility was not built, we would survive; but we must recognize that we have to make these people successful in the community, or they will not make it on the outside. If you refer to handout Casa Grande (Exhibit E), you will see how little this will cost the State.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Are we using tax credits to construct this facility? Will this be constructed by October 2003?
Ms. Holmes:
A non-profit group was formed to do this. They are looking at two means of finance: applying through tax credit monies, or conventional financing through affordable housing. They will begin building this spring and should be done by October 2003.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
I understand the low-income housing credits can only be used if they were parolees that inmates could not qualify for the tax credits.
Ms. Holmes:
That is one of the issues that may result in this group not applying for the tax credits. The original plan was to go in under simple transitional housing. Instead, the housing division created a separate category for parolees only. Some do not want to buy tax credits where it can be used for nothing but parolees. If it is built using traditional financing, and the State later decides not to use the building, it then can be turned into a regular apartment house.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
If you must go to traditional financing, will this delay construction? Do you have an alternate plan in case it does not open? Has zoning been determined?
Ms. Holmes:
It should not delay construction. No, we do not have an alternative plan. The zoning has been approved.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Has a memorandum of understanding been signed?
Ms. Holmes:
The prison board authorized the memorandum of understanding.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Does the $26.02 per day, per inmate, include the $10 for programming and education? What additional cost will there be to the inmates?
Ms. Holmes:
That is the cost to us. The non-profit group will provide other programs through money they raise. The inmate’s share of the cost is on a sliding scale based on their income. Rent amounts will be based on final construction costs and federal low-income guidelines.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
You, and another NDOC employee, are acting as liaison to this non-profit organization. Is this a case of the prison system contracting with itself?
Ms. Holmes:
We are non-paid members who donate our time.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
In the corporate filing you are listed as board members. It does not look right.
Ms. Holmes:
Under Nevada Administrative Code (NAC), members of State agencies are allowed to be on non-profit boards. I understand your concern about avoiding a conflict of interest.
Senator Rhoads:
The department needs to pick five or six of the performance indicators mentioned in the business plan for use in tracking the success of this facility.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will review the budget for the Northern Nevada Correctional Center.
Northern Nevada Correctional Center– Budget Page NDOC–45 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3717
Senator Rhoads:
Why is there a 22 percent increase on preventive maintenance?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
These are large facilities that were constructed many years ago. They require a great deal of maintenance.
Senator Rhoads:
I will now enter a letter into the record (Exhibit F). It is from the Reverend Glenn E. Taylor, Executive Director, AIDS Community Cultural Program and Training (ACCEPT).
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will review the budget for the Nevada State Prison.
Nevada State Prison – Budget Page NDOC –53 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3718
Senator Coffin:
Was there a discussion about renovation of the death chamber?
Mr. Whorton:
That is not part of our budget. It is a capital improvement project. The death chamber is a confined area and it is difficult for staff to work there. Additionally, it is not suitable for people with limited access.
Senator Coffin:
How often have we used the death chamber?
Mr. Whorton:
We have used it 11 times since the death penalty was reinstated. The last execution was 2 years ago.
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will discuss the budget item for the Lovelock Correctional Center.
Lovelock Correctional Center – Budget Page NDOC –79 (Volume 3)
Budget Account 101-3759
Assemblyman Parks:
Why does your request for 12 correctional caseworker positions exceed the legislatively approved staffing ratio?
Mr. Whorton:
I will look into that.
Assemblyman Parks:
Why is there duplication of some special maintenance projects for FY 2002-2003?
Mr. Rexwinkel:
I will look into that and get back to you.
I will read the budget for the Stewart Conservation Camp.
Stewart Conservation Camp – Budget Page NDOC –91 (Volume 3)

Senator Rhoads:
After determining that there are no further questions, this meeting is adjourned at 11 a.m.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
