Bob 47 will continue to reduce the jail population because its also going to be pushing down the value of some of the offenses that remain a felony offense. Weve have got the currently available slots and collaborative courts and of course, if we expand the criteria, which we occasionally do when we meet with the dist. Atty.

I think we are just trying to find a way of creating a more equitable system and make sure that everybody gets due process. Here, with our new resources to really focus on bail, we are hoping that judges that make that immediate determination at arraignment, to set bail and keep somebody in custody, will have an opportunity with a written bail motion and some investigation behind it that can really give that judge an opportunity to know somebody better than perhaps build the confidence that they need to release somebody into the public that they will more likely reached that conclusion.

We only got 42 individuals anticipating in it right now. We think a very conservative estimate is that could be expanded by 100, and again, thats a substantial reduction in jail population. So, just to conclude then, we have got the point i made earlier that realignment may have plateaued in the short term, but because of fewer felonies and fewer state prison sentences there there be fewer parolees in the future. Bob 47 will continue to reduce the jail population because its also going to be pushing down the value o ....
