Pre -Trial Release
Operating
Policies and Procedures
EvaluatorlCoordinator's Duties
I. Interviewing at the County Jails
A. The Evaluator /Coordinator obtains the confinement list by 7:30 a.m. each weekday
(lvfon. -Fri.) in the Orange County Jail. The Evaluator /Coordinator obtains a copy of the
confinement list at the Orange County Jail. Interviewing takes place each weekday in the
Orange County Jail. A copy of the confinement list is requested from the jailers at tl.e��
Chatham County Jail when
interviewing on Monday and Thursday. Tuesday, e.•nesu�
and Friday, the Chatham County confinement list is requested to be faxed to the
Alternative Sentencing office from the Sheriff s Office. Du ana periods when the
Chatham County Jail is over the bed capacity (such as during the we., ts Superior Coun is
in session there) visits for interviewing will be made more frequently than twice during
the weekdays (Mon. -Fri.).
B. The Evaluator /Coordinate notes nthe total Thp population nomemalethe mates is also noted.
confinement list if not already
C. The Evaluator /Coordinator selects inmates for interviewing who have charges at arrest
that make them potentially releasable without risking the community's safery. Felonies
that are property and drug crimes are suitable. Common Law Robbery is a suitable
offense. ylisdemeanors are suitable for interviewing unless they have a no bond status.
In this case, the EvaluatoriCoordinator will find out the reason for the no bond status.
When an inmate is arrested for a probation violation. the inmate_w_ ill be interviewed to
find out who his/her officer is and the Evaluator /Coordinator will contact that officer.
The Evaluator /Coordinator's goal is to interview as many suitable candidates, as are
available, in selecting inmates for interviews. The information discovered in the
interview is not simply for release but also for expediting the cases of all inmates.
Information obtained in the inmate interviews is processed to any agency that may
facilitate in the immediate release and also, when indicated.reduce re e o 1, bond The
likelihood of recidivism may be reduced when a person sen t nced to

D. The interviews are conducted in the jails using the Pre -Trial Release "Data Sheet".
Information obtained includes personal information related to risk factors indicating
likelihood of returning to court as well as any past criminal activity and/or vent ing
whether the inmate is currently on probation or parole (see data sheet, section G).
Interviews can take from five to fogy -ive minutes depending on the inmates' needs or
concerns. The data gathered from the interview is calculated on the risk sheet crovidinIz
total score indicating the likelihood of returning for all court dates until the charges are
resolved.
E. On Mondays, the Evaluator /Coordinator's duties include scanning the jail populations to
produce a list of misdemeanor charged (only being held for misdemeanors) inmates to be
brought to court on Wednesday of that week for likely resolution of the incarcerated
status. The inmate charged with just misdemeanors is virtually always released when
either the inmate is offered a plea to enter a Guilty plea in exchange for a sentence to the
time alreadv served or is released to return for a final sentencing hearing. This method 01
expediting misdemeanors significantly reduces the jail population. The
Evaluator /Coordinator attends Court for Wednesday hearings for disposing of cases
holding the misdemeanor charged inmate in jail in order to record the outcome of the
case, secure court documents (copies) showing evidence of same, and to hear concerns
from interfacing agencies involved in this hearing in order to facilitate this process. The
Evaluator /Coordinator brings these concerns to the attention of the Director so Ii-iar
changes can be decided and put into place to adapt to the hearing dynamics for the
simplest most efficient method of accomplishing the desired outcome being the Brost
(safely) reduced jail population possible.
II. Actions post interview

indicating demographics of cases and actions taken on cases. The form is completed at
the end of each day (=1 p.m. with 1/2 hour for lunch).

Wednesday, to secure an expeditious release. to the Public Defender's Office.
C. The Evaluator /Coordinator makes telephone calls to verify addresses and jobs (as much

m
reliability appropriate for Pre-Trial Release candidates are recommended to a District
Court Judge for hisiher approval by signing a release order to the Pre -Trial Release
Proi7ram or a bond reduction, etc. When traveling to Chatham County, the
Evaluator!Coordinator utilizes a portable cellular telephone to place such calls. The
stablllty factors are calculated on a score sheet to deterrnine consisien:l . w Ze i an :=ate
eualifies for release.
D. The District Court Judge's secretary (PeJgy Rilev -(9l9) i 32 -8181 ext. 2226)can be
telephoned and asked to contact the Evaluator when a Judge is available for a release
recommendation in his /her office.
E. The Judge may indicate that a formal hearing is reciuired in the courtroom. In such case.
the Evaluator/Coordinator telephones the Office of the District Attorn ev to _ive them ? —'.
hours notice before the hearing for the release, to be proposed, is heard.
F. The Evaluator /Coordinator enters demographics and return to court data on each case so
that statistics can be accumulated to record these outcomes and report them to the
Granting and administrative agencies.
III. When a JudgeRvIagistrate Grants a Release to be Supervised by the Pre -Trial Release
Program:
A. The Evaluator /Coordinator makes a third copy of the Release Order (the order form is a
duplicate form) for the office file. The original is provided to the court cleric, a copy is
delivered to the jail, and a copy is provided to the client. If the client is released within
an hour, the Evaluator /Coordinator instructs the Release on the conditions of Release. If
the defendant is not released, the Evaluator /Coordinator notifies Alternative `entercirg
staff, (case developer or Director) to instruct the client. If the client is released when star-
is unavailable, the jail should be asked to provide the client's copy of the Order for
Release. A business card instructing the client to contact the program the following day.
should be attached to the Order for Release.
B. The Evaluator /Coordinator reminds the release client of court dates and logs in the
client's calls on check in days. Often, the Evaluator accompanies the client to court as a
courtesy when the Evaluator /Coordinator has no other schedule priorities that day. The
Evaluator /Coordinator verifies the case's final resolution so that the case canoe filed as
closed.

Pre -Trial Release Program of Orange and Chatham Counties
t
The Orange- Chatham CJPP Advisory Board established a pre -trial rele ase program . in
with the initial funding received from the Department of Correction. This program is prop ioed
through contractual arrangements with Orange- Chatham Alternative Sentencing. Inc.. a local non -
profit agency.
Durina FY 1997 -9S, the third year of operation, the Pre -Trial Release Program increased the links
of facilitating information through the 15-B judicial district. Recognition and familiarly pith
program services by criminal justice partners, such as the staff of the District Attomev s Office and
i✓1aQistrates, increased significantly. A major focus for the year was troubleshooting and retiring
the process for listing the inmates being only held in the Orange County jail for misdemeanor
offenses. Releases also increased in the Chatham County jail.
Pre -Trial Release Services moves inmate- related data expeditiously through the criminai justice
system. As a result, the program facilitates criminal justice processes, inmate release. the �yeli
being of inmates and the overall jail population. Examples of such services include:
• securing the paycheck of an inmate from an employer so that the inmate might post bond:
• checking the courthouse records to ascertain whether a court case was disposed of an
a
discovering that a warrant was mistakenly listed as outstanding which resulted in an inmate
being mistakenly jailed;
• calling the Office of the Public Offender to inquire about the arrangement of bond hearings;
• as an officer of the court, reporting requested information to the judaes: and
• offering therapeutic interactions to inmates struggling with adjustments to inmate lire or
needing referrals to rehabilitation resources.
The daily flow of incoming inmates dictates the particular tasks required of the program evaluator.
Addressing these special needs is in addition to conducting the daily standard screening and
interviewing. Because this is the only service of its kind serving the county jails, the pre -trial
release program makes a significant impact on the criminal justice system. The professional and
expeditious nature of the work accomplished also adds to the success of this program.
