(916) 228‐2015 Mission The Yolo County Day Reporting Centers provide evidence based services to men and women on probation, parole or releasing from the Yolo County jail. Our overarching goal is to reduce recidivism through effective community integration by addressing the causes of offending behavior, thereby strengthening individuals and families, and improving public safety as a whole. Vision By creating an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance, accountability and structure, we provide an environment for life change, where all clients are treated with respect and dignity. By providing services in the areas of cognitive behavioral treatment, employment readiness, academics, and life skills, the Yolo County Day Reporting Center provides the framework for long term, pro‐social behavior. The success of our clients leads to increased family stability, recidivism reduction, cost savings to the tax payers, increased community engagement, and ultimately fewer victims of crime.

Message from Staff
The Yolo Day Reporting Centers have experienced tremendous momentum over the past 16 months, offering a very robust program while expanding services to our clients. Our staff in Woodland and West Sacramento are committed to providing the highest level of evidence based programming to assist clients in addressing the causes of offending behavior and helping them in their transition to the community. Over these past 16 months we have seen significant growth and expansion of our program by both location and offerings. A second site in West Sacramento opened in June 2014, providing an opportunity for duplication of program in the local area. Additionally, the move of the Woodland DRC location from the Sheriff's Cameron training Center to Probation, the dedication of a female unit at Leinberger, and the opening of NCCT at the Yolo County fairgrounds were expansions that strengthened our overall program. Singularly, each of these would have been a major accomplishment; combined they have been colossal. We are happy to present the findings and data of this Annual Report. The commitment of our staff and partners is demonstrated through the success of our clients. Thank you for allowing us to continue in this ever important work. Where

The Woodland DRC model is based on best practice research advocating for individualized service planning based on a client’s unique reentry needs. A combination of assessments, face‐to‐face counseling and information obtained from the referral source ensures programming is truly individualized. Providing both in custody and out of custody services and structured around three phases the DRC provides clients with general instruction as well as targeted Individual Service Plans (ISP). The ISP is treated as a living document with revisions coinciding with progress as well as setbacks. The average out of custody length of stay in the program is 97.9 Days. LENGTH OF STAY

In Custody Programming 227 clients have participated in the DRC’s pre‐release program since January 2013 The in custody component of the Day Reporting Center consists of service delivery to inmates housed in the Yolo County jail. The DRC program provides a continuum of care throughout the client’s reentry experience. The program design mirrors the out of custody component to provide more ease of transition to the community and integration to the out of custody program. DRC staff provide pre‐release services through individualized case management and group instruction focused on preparation for the impending release to the community. The dedication of a full living unit at the Leinberger Center to DRC services has given the clients a sense of community as well as accountability as they proceed through the program. To date, 227 clients have participated in Yolo County’s pre‐release DRC program since January 2013. EVIDENCE BASED

Family Reunification The involvement and support of family members is a key component in a client’s successful re‐
entry. Over 250 children and countless loved ones are represented by the DRC’s active clients and all play a role in the client’s re‐entry experience. Children of parents who have been incarcerated are seven times more likely to be incarcerated themselves. Reuniting the family can greatly reduce this possibility and for this reason, family reunification is a priority for DRC staff. Events such as family nights, picnics, holiday celebrations, awards ceremonies and community events are fixtures of the program. At the most recent awards ceremony, nearly 200 clients, family members, friends and other supportive community members were in attendance to recognize accomplishments and encourage continued success.

While a client may not complete the entire DRC program, this is not always an indicator of an unsuccessful outcome. Often, becoming employed full time, advancing to a higher education or vocational training program, medical leaves of absence and, in the case of incarcerated clients, release from custody may prevent the client from advancing through the full program. Listed to the right are discharge reasons aside from “Successful” and “Unsuccessful” that paint a clearer picture of our clients’ movement through the re‐entry process. When taking into account all discharge reasons, data indicates that one out every two clients entering the DRC successfully complete the program. As clients spend more time in the program their likelihood of completing increases. 75% of clients spending at least 90 days in the program successfully completed. This figure climbed to 80% for those spending at least 120 days in the program. ExitReason Total

Those clients participating for longer than this amount of time and advancing to the program’s later phases experience a reduction in the likelihood they will return to prison or jail while active.

Academic 73 DRC clients have enrolled in GED services There is a strong correlation between low levels of education and criminal activity. A high‐school dropout is five to eight times more likely to be incarcerated than a college graduate. Also, a federal three‐state study showed that attending school while in prison was associated with a 29% reduced likelihood of re‐incarceration. These lower recidivism rates held true regardless of post‐release employment, indicating that the education itself has value. Given that California has one of the highest recidivism rates in the nation and the overcrowding of jails, this service is of key importance to the DRC. With over 30% of clients entering the DRC without a GED or high school diploma, this service remains at the forefront of operations. "DRC helped me be
motivated to change. I
had to let go of the past
and realize I could be
that person I was meant

Day Reporting Center
Program Design The West Sacramento DRC enrolled an initial group of clients in June of 2014. Since that time, the program has enrolled 195 Yolo County probationers, parolees, PROP 47 offenders and clients placed on electronic monitoring. The West Sacramento DRC is designed to mirror the Woodland DRC in terms of services offered and program schedule. The primary objectives of the West Sacramento DRC are to provide access to re‐entry services for Yolo County community members residing in West Sacramento and offer a seamless transition for those clients released from the in‐custody Woodland DRC program or transferring from the Woodland DRC. The average length of stay (LOS) in the program is 67.2 Days with clients spending a total of 13,101 days in the DRC. Enrollment and Program Completion

Story
Carl B. was an unemployed high‐risk 29‐year old in search of a career. In July 2014, three months after completing the Yolo County Day Reporting Center’s Woodland program, Carl’s probation officer told him about the newly opened West Sacramento Day Reporting Center. Committed to continuing his pursuit of success, Carl enrolled immediately. Carl completed all of his program requirements at the West Sacramento DRC and then enrolled in a construction training program at Northern California Construction and Training. Here, Carl had access to an array of training and certificate opportunities. Carl wanted to go beyond having just an average job and he knew he would need to complete his GED to reach his goals. Carl worked five days per week on his GED while also working part time. Carl completed his GED in March 2015 but was unable to attend his graduation because he obtained employment as a clean‐up specialist at Santa Barbara State Beach oil spill. Carl currently works full‐time in West Sacramento where he operates a forklift and loads and unloads tanker trucks with up to as much as 100,000 gallons of different materials per day. Carl’s story is a testament to the collaborative nature of the Yolo County Day Reporting Center and the commitment of both the West Sacramento and Woodland programs to the successful transition of Yolo County community members.

Supervision: Recidivism Recidivism: A return to prison or jail with either a new conviction or as the result of a violation of the terms of supervision following release from custody. The target rate of recidivism for the DRC is 35%. Clients who received a confirmed prison or jail sentence as the results of a new offense or violation of supervision are included in this report. In addition, the violation of supervision rates among West Sacramento’s clients are reported although the violations tended to not result in a return to custody. The Recidivism rate for West Sacramento’s clients is expectedly low given that the program began serving clients in June 2014. However, the initial outcomes are promising and reflect positively on the efforts of the West Sacramento DRC collaborative and the commitment among the program’s clients.

This program provides temporary paid employment focusing on litter abatement and beautification of county freeways. To date, ten West Sacramento DRC clients have participated in the Caltrans training program. NCCT coordinates daily crew operations. Academic With 30% of clients entering the West Sacramento DRC without a high school diploma or GED, academic programs are vital to ensuring the long‐term success and stability of clients. In the summer of 2014, GED services were implemented. Since that time 23 clients have enrolled in West Sacramento’s GED services with one client successfully obtaining a GED. Six clients remain active in the GED program. “I attend a four-year university full-time, volunteer four days per week at St. Vincent

Among all enrolled clients, a combined total of 59,292 days was spent in DRC programming, equating to a daily per‐client cost of just $21.93. Compared to costs of incarceration, the annual funding amount for the DRC would house roughly 26 jail inmates for one year each. Community‐based programming is not appropriate for all offenders. However, for those who are able to benefit, Yolo County, CDCR and SCOE have implemented a cost effective approach to provide them with an opportunity for a successful, crime‐free lifestyle. The DRCs graduated 230 clients for the same cost to incarcerate 26 inmates in county jail for one year each.

The Year Ahead
The Yolo County Day Reporting Centers are well on their way towards continual maintenance offering rich, well‐rounded programs. Employment, housing, mental health support, and faith‐based support are all components that will assist in supporting the client in maintaining a pro‐social lifestyle for the long term. We intend to preserve the 'Yolo Way' by collaborating with business and providers to ensure there is a warm hand off as clients continue in their reentry experience. In anticipating the next steps, we have four main areas to enrich our program going forward. First, developing direct job links with local employers that will strengthen long term client stability. Second, developing networks of housing resources for clients to pursue as they become more stable and economically mobile. Third, working in partnership with Probation, DHHS, and Communicare Health Centers to bring Medi‐Cal certified clinical services to the site so those clients who have a higher level of mental health or substance abuse need can receive these services with a direct on‐site referral. Lastly, we will continue to develop relationships with the faith community to ensure that all areas of an individual are supported and modeled appropriately. Sustainability of these areas and replication of effective programming throughout the Yolo County DRC’s is our priority. It is our aim to continue to be the gold standard of reentry programs in the State. When we work seamlessly with our partners to create a winning team or formula, a natural outcome is successful people as well as organizational and community support. In the coming year, we will continue to be vigilant in our quest to offer the most cutting edge research based programming possible, all the while keeping in mind an end goal of restored families and healthy communities. We believe that is the Yolo Way and we are proud to be a partner. SacramentoCountyOfficeofEducation
