Managing the Evolving Pre-Trial Program
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 27, 2023
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The newly passed California Senate Bill 129 provides $140 million in funding for “the implementation and operation of ongoing court programs and practices that promote the safe, efficient, fair, and timely pretrial release of individuals booked into jail,” along with $70 million to expand a pretrial pilot program. Pretrial services now under the jurisdiction of probation will create the need for probation departments to quickly implement a program to accommodate released individuals needing monitoring and services. While the intent to reduce reliance on incarceration without risking public safety is inarguably positive, SB-129 also imposes a burden on probation offices, putting them “under the gun” to quickly implement a comprehensive system of pretrial monitoring and services—all while maintaining their current caseload. During this presentation, we will review technology and services that can be used to create a program that supports your pretrial population as well as agency requirements.
