The Division is a multi-faceted, multi-functional, essential component of the Department of Corrections. The division has a significant role in meeting the mission of the Department of Corrections. Reducing the rate of recidivism, parole revocation and the cost to incarcerate are core functions of this division. These functions are accomplished through various evidenced-based programs and services provided to the offenders as they enter and exit our correctional system. Another important function within our division is to provide, when appropriate, alternatives to incarceration through our diversion program initiatives. As you review this report, you will note the successful application of alternative to incarceration programs using evidence-based practices and services. The reentry process helps prepare offenders to make a safe transition from incarceration to the community and enhances public safety. When offenders return to their respective communities without reoffending, communities are safer, and the investment of correctional resources has yielded positive results. When formerly incarcerated or supervised persons become productive members of society, working to support their families and paying taxes, the community benefits, Community Corrections has served its purpose, and everyone wins. This annual report reflects positive results in this area. None of this could be possible without the dedication and commitment of Community Corrections staff who continually meet the daily challenges of offering viable alternatives to incarceration for offenders at various stages of the criminal justice process. This report reflects our continued commitment to the vision of offender success and safe communities.

Community Residential Services Community Corrections Centers and Community Work Centers provide an environment conducive for offenders beginning the process of reentry. Community offenders may be assigned to public work programs, facility work programs, or work release status. The Division of Community Corrections accounts for approximately 14% of the agency’s total bed space, with a capacity of 3551 male bed spaces at community correction centers, community work centers, halfway houses, and county jail contracts. The Division operates five community corrections centers and fifteen community work centers and contracts with five private vendors to provide 1,200 additional community beds at nine facilities. FACILITY CAPACITIES Facilities Occupied Capacity CCC 970 1,000 CWC 1,228 1,257 Contract 958 1,000 County Jail Contracts 294 Each community facility has a dedicated pool of offenders to maintain the facility and support other facility operations. These offenders are assigned to crews such as landscaping, kitchen, maintenance, and orderly services. The remaining offenders work in the community. The majority of the offenders assigned to work centers and community corrections centers participate in the Prisoner Public Works Program. These offenders work for counties, cities, or governmental agencies performing work that would not otherwise be done due to the lack of local workforce and available funding. Offenders assigned to PPWP work crews are paid a maximum of $27.09 per month. Most offenders assigned to halfway houses participate in work release programs as a component of re-entry. These offenders work in salaried jobs in the community. Employment provides the offender the opportunity to prepare to meet financial obligations upon release as well as to reimburse the state for a portion of their cost of incarceration. All community facilities have a number of beds dedicated to the work release program. In FY ’11, there were approximately 1,187 work release beds. These offenders paid a total of $4,601,434 in program support fees to the agency. Through this employment program, the offender is able to contribute financially to his/her family and a portion of their earnings are placed into a mandatory savings account for the offenders upon discharge. The Community Corrections Centers/Work Centers has 17% of the total work release bed allocation and collected 39% of the total program support fees. Community contract facilities have 83% of the total work release bed space and collected 61% of total program support fees. Assignment to a Community Corrections Center or a Community Work Center benefits the offender by providing transitional services to prepare the offender for reentry into the community. The department and the citizens of Oklahoma benefit from the cost savings realized by placement in a community bed compared to the cost of a higher security bed. Other benefits include the payment of program support fees from the offender and the community work completed by offenders assigned to PPWP work crews. Community Residential Services - Program Support Halway House/CCC/CWC Total Program Support Work Release Total Program Support Fees Collected FY10 $3,463,782 FY11 $3,964,407 Programs A 100-hour transitional program was implemented at the Muskogee, Oklahoma City, and Union City Community Corrections Center. This program is designed to target offenders who are close to discharging their sentence. The program provides offenders with resources to locate housing, employment, health care services, etc., prior to release. In FY’11 a total of 119 offenders graduated from this program. Community Corrections offenders participate in a variety of on-site and community-based programs. Programs are provided by contract staff, agency staff or volunteers from the faith community. Seeking Safety was implemented at Clara Waters Community Corrections Center. Seeking Safety is an evidence based practice designed to assist men to attain safety from trauma and substance abuse. This group intervention is delivered by a master’s level mental health clinician and is characterized as offering coping skills for substance abuse, restores individual hope, engages the offender through humanistic language, creative exercises and addresses pro social subjects important in the criminal justice system. In FY’ 11 a total of eighty-five men began the Seeking Safety intervention, sixty-four have completed the intervention giving a completion rate of 75%.

The Division will continue to monitor and track the number of escapes and use the data as a management tool to identify patterns. The Division will also continue to evaluate information to insure best correctional practices are in place to reduce escapes. ESCAPES FY2010 Community CC 27 Community WC 1 Halfway Houses 66 ESCAPES FY2011 Community CC 18 Community WC 9 Halfway Houses 72 Probation and Parole/Community Corrections Probation and Parole is the unit of the DOC responsible for the supervision of offenders sentenced by the court to suspended and deferred probationary sentences, offenders released from incarceration to parole, offenders released to Global Position Satellite Monitoring and Electronic Monitoring for DUI Offenders, and offenders residing in Oklahoma who were sentenced in other states. The unit is responsible for investigations ordered by the courts, the pardon and parole board or the Department. These investigations include, but are not limited to, pre-sentence, pre-parole, Interstate Compact, and pre-pardon. The Division of Probation and Parole employs Evidence Based Practices (EBP) in the supervision of offenders. EBP supervision is designed with theory, research, public policy, and practice; all supportive of each other, leading to measurable supervision outcomes. The long term goal of supervision is the reduction of offender risk through enhancing offender’s intrinsic motivation for pro-social change. EBP focuses limited resources on those offenders with moderate to high criminogenic risk factors. Criminogenic risk factors are matched with intervention programs to reduce the likelihood of future law violating behavior. EBP emphasizes outcomes over process. Probation and parole operates sixty-four offices state-wide. At the close of FY’11, there were 19,178 active offenders and 6,217 administratively supervised offenders under the custody and supervision of the Division of Community Corrections. Specialty Courts Probation and Parole has been an active partner in specialty courts throughout the state, having been the provider of supervision services to the first drug court in Oklahoma. At year’s end, thirteen officers were assigned full time to drug court supervision, three officers were assigned to mental health court supervision and one was assigned to DUI court supervision. These specialty courts, with DOC supervision in place, accounted for 1,297 offenders. Global Position Satellite Monitoring Program Summary During FY ’11, a total of 949 offenders were placed on the GPS Surveillance Program. The average monitoring period on the program is six months. While on GPS offenders are required to seek and maintain employment and attend treatment programs in the community. Successful attendance at treatment and being gainfully employed has been identified as an important factor in the successful completion of the GPS program. Five hundred and six successfully exited the program. Sixty-four offenders were removed for program violations. At the end of the fiscal year, 93% of the inmates on the GPS monitoring program were successfully transitioning back to their respective communities. The average daily population of the GPS program was 445 offenders resulting in a savings of 162,425 bed days. The cost of GPS monitoring for FY ’11 was approximately $1,108,064 for equipment and monitoring expense, while collections from offenders were $624,371. With an average daily bed cost of $37.72, the savings realized by the use of the GPS program was $5,199,558. Electronic Monitoring Program for DUI Offenders This statutorily authorized program allows for DUI offenders who have completed approved alcohol treatment programs to be placed under electronic monitoring in the community. The program is supervised by probation and parole officers. During FY ’11, five offenders were placed in the program with three successful discharges. The remaining offenders continue to be supervised in the community. A total of twelve offenders have successfully exited the program in FY2011. The average monitoring days were 212. The impact of a difficult fiscal year in 2011 resulted in the reduction of the number of offenders receiving substance abuse treatment services. However, in FY 2012, the funding was restored for the continuation of the DUI/EMP program. The goal is to increase the number of eligible offenders for the EMP to 30 in FY2012. The average daily count for FY ’11 was 7 offenders. The cost for monitoring services for FY’ 11 was $29,111.15. The gross bed cost savings realized by the use of the EMP program was $96,374.60. Supervision Outcomes During FY ’11, 1,400 community supervised offenders were returned or revoked to prison. These revocations consisted of 103 (7.3%) parole offenders, 169 (12.1%) specialty court offenders and 1,128 (80.6%) probation offenders. There was a 2.5% increase in revocation for offenders being supervised in specialty courts. The overall revocation rate for FY ’11 was 10.8% as compared to the 11.5% in FY ’10. This rate is based on the total number of offenders revoked to prison, which for FY ’11 was 1,400, in relation to the total number of offenders whose supervision terminated in FY ’11. The total number of offenders revoked to prison in FY ’11 was 1,400 and the total number of offenders whose supervision was terminated in FY ’11 was 12,923. Employment Stable and satisfying employment is a primary component of socialization and provides a source of social bonding. Employment stability depends on the pro-social rewards received. Lack of consistent employment indicates a higher risk for criminal behavior. Because of this, the employment module serves as a protective factor for an offender. The employment rate for actively supervised offenders at year end was 78%. Absconders from Supervision Each year, many offenders under community supervision experience events that result in their failure to participate in the supervision process. Failure to adhere to the court’s orders, lack of adherence to the negotiated transition plan, or economic difficulties may influence this decision. When these offenders abscond supervision, officers work diligently to locate and re-involve them in the supervision process. At the end of the fiscal year, the absconder rate, (percentage of offenders classified as absconders) was 11.4%. Treatment Services Treatment Services were suspended from the budget during FY’11 due to budget constraints. The only treatment services resources were provided through the DMHSAS – SPTU funds statewide and the Weed-N-Seed Grant. The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services each year sets up contracts statewide for community offenders who are in need of treatment services. For FY’11 these contracts totaled $539,249.00. Central District Community Corrections, in conjunction with the City of Oklahoma City, was offered grant funds to help offenders with gang ties that are living in the Oklahoma City area. Funding from the grant provided $72,746.00 in substance abuse treatment for offenders.

Based on the number of transactions required for each request, this equates to over 18,212 rap sheets processed for criminal records data. Diversion Program Since program inception in May 2007, the Diversion Program focused on prison-bound probation offenders exhibiting chronic, noncompliant behaviors and supervision infractions that typically lead to acceleration or revocation. The primary goal of this program continues to be the diversion of this population from incarceration. Diversion officers employ the following supervision practices to increase positive offender outcomes through identified risk reduction; risks that, if unresolved; oftentimes lead to problem behavior and criminal activity. * Collaboration with community based service agencies. * Provision for more intensive supervision. * Utilization of incentives, interventions and sanctions to bring offenders into compliance; and * Involvement of offenders’ capable guardian in transition planning and case management. In essence, the program has provided offenders with access to resources to assist with life changing choices. A specialized team of probation officers work closely with officials from the District Attorney and Public Defender’s offices, as well as treatment and service providers. A containment team, designed to monitor offender progress while under high-risk supervision, is utilized and consists of probation officers, treatment providers, workforce and employment services, mental health professionals, career tech and literacy instructors. Diversion plans are developed in conjunction with established transition plans and programmatic placement. The team conducts monthly staffing to discuss issues relative to offender programmatic progress and determine the best course of action to enable success for the offender. DIVERSION STATISTICS CENTRAL DISTRICT COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS DIVERSION PROGRAM The Central District Diversion Program has not only had a fiscal impact, but has affected the lives of offenders, their families, and our communities in a positive way. In essence, the program has provided offenders with access to resources to assist with life changing choices. The Diversion Program has had a significant fiscal impact on the state by saving taxpayers the exorbitant costs associated with incarceration. The following supervision practices are utilized and designed to increase positive offender outcomes through identified risk reduction; risks that, if unresolved, could lead to problem behavior and criminal activity. Collaboration with community based service agencies, provision for more intensive supervision, utilization of incentives, interventions and sanctions to bring offenders into compliance; and involvement of offenders’ capable guardian in transition planning and case management. From the very beginning, the Central District Community Corrections Diversion Program has incorporated a team approach to managing this at-risk group of offenders which has continued through FY 2011. Specialized probation officers work closely with officials from the District Attorney and Public Defender’s offices, as well as treatment and service providers. A containment team, designed to monitor offender progress while under high-risk supervision, is utilized and consists of probation officers, treatment providers, workforce and employment services, mental health professionals, and career tech and literacy instructors. Diversion plans are developed in conjunction with established transition plans and programmatic placement. The team conducts monthly staff meetings to discuss issues relative to offender programmatic progress and determine the best course of action to enable success for the offender. The Central District Diversion Program has been in place since May 2007, and there have been 335 clients successfully complete the program through FY 2011. Since inception, only 37 of the 372 participating offenders have failed the Diversion Program through revocation to incarceration. The program has been and continues to be an overwhelming success, both in terms of fiscal impact, and ability to affect pro-social change, thereby diverting a large number of offenders from prison. The Diversion Program has utilized state funds more efficiently by diverting these 335 clients from revocation. The overall annual savings, comparing probation supervision vs. average cost of incarceration, is $5.7 million. Through fiscal years 2008 and 2011, the average savings is $1.4 million annually and $3,908 per day. Data collection for the Diversion Program is conducted through collaboration with the following Oklahoma Department of Corrections entities: Evaluation and Analysis Unit, Correctional Offender Management Information Tracking (COMIT) unit, and Central District Diversion officers. This partnership between analyst, technology, and officers enables the Diversion Program to make evidence based decisions to better meet the needs of clients. The ongoing success of the Central District Diversion Program has strengthened the Oklahoma Department of Corrections’ ability to positively enhance public safety while increasing the ability to positively affect the lives of offenders and their families. This program simultaneously results in saving the state of Oklahoma a substantial amount of incarceration costs. Of the 90 offenders discharged from the program during FY 2011, 89 were successful and only 1 was revoked. The only significant shift was in regard to female offender representation, which declined 12% as referrals for this population were re-directed to the newly implemented Female Offender Intervention and Diversion Program. Nonetheless, as the below graphs reflect, the Oklahoma County Diversion Program has continued to achieve truly impressive outcomes during FY 2010 through FY 2011. FY1010 Completions Revoked 6% Not-Revoked 94% FY2011 Completions Revoked 1.2% Not Revoked 98.8% DIVERSION STATISTICS – Continued TULSA DISTRICT COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS DIVERSION PROGRAM As of June 30, 2011, there were 131 offenders on diversion caseloads in Tulsa County (TDCC), 28 males and 103 females. The Male Offender Diversion program started in July 2009, and the Female Offender Diversion program stated on March 8, 2010. In TCDCC, the criteria for being accepted into each program differ, somewhat, mainly due to the female program having federal grant money supporting the program. However, the main criteria consistent for both programs is that these offenders are considered high-risk for re-offending. The main issues that these clients have in common are substance abuse, mental health issues and non-compliant behaviors. A third diversion caseload is the Women in Recovery (WIR) Program which is funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation. This program began in August 2009, and addresses the same high-risk behaviors as stated above but also works on employment and family reunification issues. The following shows the total number of clients participating in identified modules out of a total of 131 clients, in percent form, as of June 30, 2011.

The Male / Female Offender Diversion programs started in January 2011. In the Southwest District there is limited funding for treatment so this presents a problem when referring clients for diversion. The main issues/criteria that is consistent for referral is that these clients are considered a high-risk for re-offending and have substance abuse issues, mental health issues and/or non-compliant behaviors. The Diversion program has continued to grow at a slower rate then anticipated due to limited funding as well as limited resources in this area. Roadback, Inc. was awarded $4,000 in SPTU funds to assist the offenders in receiving assessments and treatment for the year. This funding has limited the number of offenders that Roadback can accommodate. The Comanche Nation Prevention and Recovery Center has provided assessments and treatment free of charge to referred offenders but there are a limited number of spaces available for substance abuse offenders. Taliaferro Community Mental Health Center is the primary provider for any offender with mental health issues. The following shows the total number of clients completing/participating in identified modules out of a total of 34 clients since the beginning of the program.

On July 1, 2007, additional housing units of 98 medium/minimum security contract beds were added to the contract to establish an Exit Facility for offenders discharging from the Oklahoma Department of Corrections who were unable to transfer to a facility below minimum security level. An additional case manager and an administrator position were added to the personnel to address the needs of the offenders and transition the differences between the county jail and the DOC cultures. The Exit Facility unit was transitioned into a regular medium/minimum security unit in February 2008. Today the Oklahoma County Jail Contract Facility houses 294 medium/minimum security inmates in three housing units located on the 10th floor of the Oklahoma County Detention Center at 201 N. Shartel, Oklahoma City, Ok. The staffing currently includes an Administrator, three Case Managers and a Records Officer. The following programs: ABE, GED, Laubach, literacy, NA, AA, Thinking for A Change and Victim’s Impact (began this year) classes are offered to the offenders housed in the contract facility. Three offenders housed in the contract facility were chosen to participate in the Oklahoma County Detention Center Scared Straight Program which targets intervention for juveniles arrested in Oklahoma County currently going through the juvenile justice system. The Oklahoma County Detention Center officers were so appreciative of their participation and efforts they requested to put letters in the offender’s files and asked if they could somehow receive credits off of their sentences. The Scared Straight Program is currently being aired on the A&E Television Station. During FY11 one hundred forty-seven (147) offenders were able to go to court to take care of outstanding charges against them at the beginning of their sentences instead of at the end of their sentences. Fourteen (14) additional offenders went to court for judicial reviews and forty (40) offenders discharged from this facility. Through the efforts of the DOC staff, contract monitor, and dieticians, the dietary menu of the Oklahoma County Detention Center has changed from a weekly menu to a monthly menu for all incarcerated at the jail, and the items offered by the canteen have expanded. The misconduct process is being monitored by the ODOC staff and Private Prison Monitor in an effort to assist the Oklahoma County Detention Center in following through on the completion of the disciplinary process once they have written misconduct for an offender violation.
