SB 91 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS:
ALASKA MENTAL HEALTH TRUST AUTHORITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
^CONFIMRATION HEARING: ALASKA MENTAL HEALTH TRUST AUTHORITY
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
1:07:08 PM
JEROME SELBY, APPOINTEE, KODIAK (via teleconference),
discussed his qualifications. He believed that he had a
strong background, and would be helpful to the board and
the state. He shared that his 24 years of work as the mayor
of Kodiak had provided him with extensive experience in
resource development, as well as his work with the Outer
Continental Shelf Advisory Committee for the Department of
the Interior. He spoke of his familiarity with the
development of timber. He asserted that he was a proponent
of developing wisely for the benefit of all Alaskans, and
believed that the trust would be a vehicle for which he
could serve Alaskan residents. He felt that the management
of resources and opening up of jobs would help the economy,
and would generate additional funding for the trust
authority to be able to fund programs that were targeted to
the beneficiaries of the trust.
1:09:28 PM
Mr. Selby thought that given the state's budget situation,
it was important to work closely with the Department of
Health and Human Services in order to maximize the benefits
of mutual beneficiaries. He was interested in doing the
most possible with the limited resources available, and had
been having related discussions for the past three decades.
He was looking forward to the challenge of doing the best
job possible with the resources that were available.
1:10:49 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon outlined AS 47.30.010:
Sec. 47.30.016. Board establishment, membership,
quorum, fees, and expenses. (a) The authority shall be
governed by its board of trustees.
(b) The board consists of seven members appointed by
the governor and confirmed by the legislature. The
members appointed under this subsection shall be
appointed
(1) based upon their ability in financial
management and investment, in land management, or in
services for the beneficiaries of the trust;
(2) after the governor has considered a list of
persons prepared by a
panel of six persons who are beneficiaries, or who are
the guardians, family members, or representatives of
beneficiaries; the panel shall consist of
(A) one person selected by the Alaska Mental
Health Board established by AS 47.30.661;
(B) one person selected by the Governor's
Council on Disabilities and Special Education;
(C) one person selected by the Advisory
Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse established by AS
44.29.100;
(D) one person selected by the Alaska
Commission on Aging established by AS 47.45.200;
(E) one person selected by the Alaska Native
Health Board; and
(F) one person selected by the authority.
1:12:07 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked which position Mr. Selby was being
appointed under.
Mr. Selby replied that he did not know.
1:12:27 PM
JEFF JESSEE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ALASKA MENTAL HEALTH
TRUST AUTHORITY, elucidated that the aforementioned
positions were intended for the nominating committee, which
met and solicited applications, and then made
recommendations to the governor. He relayed that there were
no designated seats on the board.
1:13:01 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon continued:
(c) A member of the board appointed by the governor
under (b) of this section may not
(1) be an officer or employee of the state;
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked whether Mr. Selby had been, or
currently was, an employee or officer of the state.
Mr. Selby replied in the negative.
Co-Chair MacKinnon continued reading from the statute:
(2) within the preceding two years or during the
member's term of office have an interest in, served on
the governing board of, or been employed by an
organization that has received, during that same
period, money from the mental health trust settlement
income account under a grant or contract for services.
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked whether any of the above language
pertained to Mr. Selby.
Mr. Selby answered in the negative. He clarified that as
mayor of Kodiak he had managed the Kodiak Island Mental
Health Center, which had included interaction with the
trust. He added that the city had since contracted the
center to Providence Health and Service. He noted that he
had not been mayor for over 2 years.
1:14:01 PM
AT EASE
1:14:52 PM
RECONVENED
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked if Mr. Selby was availed to attend
meetings of the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority
(AMHTA). She had observed that he was a private business
owner.
Mr. Selby stated that he would be available to attend
meetings and participate in committee work.
1:16:03 PM
LARAINE DERR, APPOINTEE, JUNEAU, discussed her
qualifications. She pointed out that the trust had an
enormous responsibility to the state. She expressed that it
was important to have a variety of people on the board, and
she believed that her finance background had been
beneficial to the board.
1:17:31 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon noted Ms. Derr's nine and a half years
of service on the board, and suggested that service should
be limited. She felt that Ms. Derr had "termed out" wand
was being reappointed based on a technicality.
Ms. Derr replied that the law read that two, full five-year
terms could be served. She explained that the term that she
would again fill had expired in March of 2005, and she had
been appointed fall of 2005. She said that she had
researched the legality of her continued service and had
determined that she could legally maintain her position on
the board. She revealed that in February 2015, Governor
Walker had appointed someone to replace her. She said that
he replaced her with someone who had been subject to
confirmation the following March; the legislature had
failed to confirm the Governor's appointment, and she was
placed back on the board. She relayed that she offered to
step down, but after the Governor reviewed her credentials
he reappointed her, subject to confirmation by the
legislature in 2016.
1:20:03 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon asked whether Ms. Derr would be
available to attend meetings, and if her past attendance
record would reveal adequate meeting attendance.
Ms. Derr replied that she had not missed as meeting, she
had either attended in person or telephonically.
1:20:39 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon understood that, if confirmed, Ms. Derr
would be serving 14.5 years in a seat that normally had a
10 year duration.
Ms. Derr replied in the affirmative.
1:20:53 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon FORWARDED the appointments of Laraine
Derr and Jerome Selby be to a Joint Session for
consideration in accordance with Alaska Statute. She
relayed that this did not reflect an intent by any member
to vote for or against the confirmation of the individuals
during any further sessions.
1:21:37 PM
AT EASE
1:24:32 PM
RECONVENED
SENATE BILL NO. 91
"An Act relating to protective orders; relating to
conditions of release; relating to community work
service; relating to credit toward a sentence of
imprisonment for certain persons under electronic
monitoring; relating to the restoration under certain
circumstances of an administratively revoked driver's
license, privilege to drive, or privilege to obtain a

Rules 32 and 35(b), Alaska Rules of Criminal
Procedure; and providing for an effective date."
1:24:44 PM
JORDAN SHILLING, STAFF, SENATOR JOHN COGHILL, discussed the
presentation "SB 91 - ACJC Community Supervision
Recommendations." He stated that the commission had
recommended policies aimed at strengthening supervision in
order to reduce recidivism. He relayed that there was a
robust amount of body of research in the area of
supervision that showed how to use probation and parole
supervision to change criminal behavior. He related that
the Department of Corrections (DOC) had taken steps to
incorporate the new research into their probation and
parole practices, which had resulted in some positive
strides. He furthered that the commission had discovered
several areas that could benefit from statutory changes.
Mr. Shilling discussed Slide 2, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
Mr. Shilling explained that the graduated sanctions and
incentives matrix would give probation officers additional
tools to address bad behavior with quick sanctions, or
illicit good behavior with incentives. He said that
although the department had implemented some of the
strategies, and a reduction in recidivism since the early
2000s had been observed, Alaska still had one of the
highest recidivism rates in the country. He added that two-
thirds of the state's offenders either violated or
committed new crimes and returned to prison within 3 years
of release, most of the recidivism occurring within the
first 3 months of release.
1:26:24 PM
Mr. Shilling turned to Slide 3, "Almost Two-Thirds of
Offenders Released Return to Prison Within Three Years,"
which showed a graph illustrating the percentage of
offenders released who return to prison within three years.
1:26:47 PM
Mr. Shilling displayed Slide 4, "Swift, Certain, and
Proportional Sanctions Effective at Changing Offender
Behavior":
· Research shows that responding to violations
quickly, certainly, and proportionally is the
most effective way to change offender behavior.
Key elements of a successful system include:
o Developing a range of sanctions -from the
less serious (i.e. increased drug testing,
curfews) to the more serious (i.e.
electronic monitoring, prison time), and
apply according to the frequency and
seriousness of the violations;
o Communicating a credible and consistent
threat of sanctions to the supervisee; and
o Streamlining procedures to allow the
probation officer to swiftly respond to the
violation.
Mr. Shilling spoke of the Probation Accountability and
Certain Enforcement (PACE) program, which used the evidence
based strategies; however, the vast majority of offenders
on probation and parole did not fall within the program. He
said that currently the law did not offer probation
officers any options, outside of filing a petition to
revoke probation, to address violations.
1:28:04 PM
Mr. Shilling discussed Slide 5, "Recommendation: Implement
Graduated Sanctions":
· Authorize the DOC to create a graduated sanctions
matrix using swift, certain, and proportional
responses, and to follow the matrix when
responding to technical violations of
supervision.
1:28:16 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 6, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
He stated that one-fifth of the prison population was
comprised of people that had not committed a new crime, but
had committed a technical violation of probation. He
furthered that those in prison for technical violations
spent an average of 106 days in prison. He opined that
despite the understanding that swift and certain punishment
was important, data showed that many petitions to revoke
probation took over one month to resolve, which meant that
people spent time in prison pre-trial prior to the
violation being adjudicated.
1:28:48 PM
Mr. Shilling referenced Slide 7, "Petitions to Revoke Take
a Month to Resolve," which showed a graph depicting the
mean length of stay for un-sentenced supervision violators
from 2004 to 2014.
1:28:53 PM
Mr. Shilling spoke to Slide 8, "Once Sentenced, Nearly Half
of Revocations Staying More than One Month," which showed a
graph of the number of supervision violators released in
2005 and 2014, by length of stay. He noted that some spent
much longer than one month in prison for technical
violations. He shared that according to the DOC, the most
common types of technical violations were rule violations,
such as missing and appointment or failing to notify a
change of address. He noted that the list also contained
alcohol and drug violations. He said that the large amount
of judicial discretion that the court had in sentencing the
violations, had led to the problem of one-fifth of the
prison population consisting of technical reoffenders. He
asserted that the delayed, random, severe sanctions did not
work, which head to the commission's recommendation for
limited revocations.
1:29:40 PM
Mr. Shilling addressed Slide 9, "Recommendation -Cap
Incarceration Time for Technical Violations of Supervision
· For offenders not participating in PACE program,
limit revocations to prison for technical
violations as follows: First revocation: Up to 3
days
o Second revocation: Up to 5 days
o Third revocation: Up to 10 days
o Fourth and subsequent revocation: Up to the
maximum remaining suspended time
o Revocation for absconding: Up to 30 days
Mr. Shilling noted that SB 91 would not treat all probation
violations the same, there were some technical violations
that were worse than others, such as not completing sex
offender treatment or batterer's intervention programs. He
said that for the purposed of defining a technical
violation in the bill, such violations had been excluded.
1:30:38 PM
Mr. Shilling turned to Slide 10, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions and incentives
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
Mr. Shilling shared that currently, offenders were kept on
probation for long periods of time, and even those on
probation that were deemed low-risk and were not violating
their conditions, remained on probation caseloads long
passed the point where the data had shown they were likely
to reoffend. He relayed that the data showed that if an
offender did fail, they would do so within the first three
months of release. He added that most violations occurred
within the first year, if at all. He stated that
individuals that would need sustained, intensive
supervision would be identified early on, as well as those
that could forego long term probation. He asserted that the
"carrot worked better than the stick" at reducing
violations and that the state had too many low-risk
individuals consuming probation caseloads. He asserted that
so many low-risk individuals' caseloads made it difficult
to focus current probation resources on those most likely
to reoffend. He shared that 39 percent of probationers were
classified as low-risk, and supervising them for long
periods of time cost a lot to the state unnecessarily. He
opined that due to the current fiscal environment, the
state did not have the ability to hire more probation
officers to adequately supervise offenders. He contended
that the best case scenario for the legislation would be
the allowance of the probation division to laser focus
their resources on the worst offenders.
1:31:42 PM
Mr. Shilling turned to Slide 11, "To Change Offender
Behavior, Rewards More Effective than Sanctions":
· Research shows that states achieve higher
successful supervision rates when rewards
outnumber sanctions. Successful supervision
programs provide incentives for meeting case-
specific goals (for example, rewarding an
offender with a drug addiction for participating
in an out-patient drug treatment program),
thereby enhancing supervisees' motivation.
1:32:17 PM
Mr. Shilling discussed Slide 12, "Recommendation: Establish
a System of Earned Compliance Credits":
Establish an earned compliance policy that grants
probationers and parolees one month credit towards
their supervision term for each month that they are in
full compliance with the conditions of their
supervision.
Mr. Shilling relayed that the credits had been used in
other states, and were a core component in incentivizing
sustained compliance with the conditions of probation.
1:32:38 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 13, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
Mr. Shilling turned to Slide 14, "Average Length of Stay in
Community Supervision Up to 13 percent Over Past Decade,"
which contained a line graph that plotted the mean length
of supervision for successful discharge, 2005 through 2014.
He reiterated that the increasingly long terms of probation
were unnecessary due to the fact that the data reflected
that most violations occurred within the first year. He
turned to Slide 15, "Failure Most Likely to Happen Within
Three Months," which contained a bar graph; the orange bars
reflected the time served on probation/parole before
returning to prison. The chart showed that 62 percent of
individuals offended within the first three months. He
continued to Slide 16, "Large Portion of Supervision
Population Low-Risk," which contained a bar chart that used
the DOC risk assessment tool, Level of Services Inventory
Revised (LSI-R). The slide showed that there were 1,602
people currently on probation in the minimum bank.
1:33:34 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 17, "Focus Supervision
Resources.":
· Research shows that supervision resources provide
the greatest public safety returns when focused on
those most likely to reoffend: high-risk offenders
and those recently released from prison. Key
elements of a successful system include:
o Identifying offenders who warrant enhanced
supervision and those who do not, including
reducing reporting requirements for those who
are succeeding; and
o Deterring future crime and technical violations
by changing offender behavior in the first few
days, weeks, and months after release.
Mr. Shilling noted that some of the research was
duplicative because much of the same research undergirded
all of the probation recommendations, but in order to see a
reduction in probation violations and new crimes, it was
important to focus the limited resources.
1:34:00 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 18, "Recommendation-Reduce
Maximum Lengths for Probation Terms and Standardize Early
Discharge":
· Cap maximum probation terms at-
· 5 years for felony sex offenders and
Unclassified felony offenders;
· 3 years for all other felony offenders
· 2 years for 2ndDUI and DV assault misdemeanor
offenders; and
· 1 year for all other misdemeanor offenders.
· For certain offenders, reduce the minimum time
needed to serve on probation or parole prior to
being eligible for early discharge to 1 year.
· For certain offenders, require the DOC to recommend
early termination of probation or parole for any
offender who has completed all treatment programs
and is in compliance with all supervision
conditions.
Mr. Shilling shared that as the bill had evolved that
lengths had increased. For example, 5 years for felony sex
offenders and Unclassified felony offenders had been
increased to 10 years.
1:34:45 PM
Mr. Shilling spoke to Slide 19, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
1:35:40 PM
Mr. Shilling displayed Slide 20, "Unlike Those in Prison,
Offenders on EM Unable to Earn Good Time":
The ACJC found that, while most offenders who are
housed within an institution have the opportunity to
earn "good time" up to one-third off their sentences
in acknowledgement of positive behavior, offenders on
electronic monitoring are currently banned from
earning this incentive.
Mr. Shilling turned to Slide 21, "Recommendation - Extend
Good Time Eligibility to Offenders Serving Sentences on
Electronic Monitoring":
· Allow offenders on electronic monitoring to
qualify for good time credits under the same
conditions set forth for offenders in DOC
institutions.
1:35:50 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 22, Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
1:36:17 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 23, "Increases in Referrals to
ASAP Have Limited Program's Effectiveness":
· Alaska's Alcohol Safety Action Program ("ASAP")
provides needed screening and treatment referral
services for thousands of misdemeanor offenders
who are referred by the court.
· However, the Commission found that increases in
the number of referrals to ASAP have not
correlated with increased funding for the
program, resulting in limited program
effectiveness.
o In fiscal year 2015, ASAP received nearly
7,250 referrals. 57% of which were
statutorily mandated referrals (DUI and
MCA). The remaining 43% were referrals that
were not mandated by statute.
Mr. Shilling discussed Slide 24, "Recommendation -Focus
ASAP Resources to Improve Program Effectiveness."
Mr. Shilling shared that the original purpose of the
program had been to assess and refer DUI offenders to
treatment. He said that overtime referrals to the program
had ballooned in size to include offenders of all types. He
relayed that the growth had placed a burden on the program
and made it difficult for ASAP to focus resources on the
people who needed it the most. The commission hoped that
ASAP could expand and enhance assessments and begin to
provide a modicum of supervision to moderate and high-risk
offenders.
1:37:35 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 25, "Community Supervision
Recommendations":
· Implement graduated sanctions
· Cap incarceration time for technical violations
of supervision
· Establish a system of earned compliance credits
· Reduce maximum lengths for probation terms and
standardize early discharge proceedings
· Extend good time eligibility to offenders serving
sentences on electronic monitoring
· Focus ASAP resources to improve program
effectiveness
· Improve treatment offerings in CRCs and focus use
of CRC resources on high-need offenders
1:37:53 PM
Mr. Shilling spoke to Slide 26, "CRCs Mixing High and Low-
Risk Offenders; Not Providing Evidence-Based Treatment":
· The Commission found that CRCs, otherwise known as
halfway houses, are likely mixing high- and low-risk
offenders, which research has shown can lead to
increased recidivism for low-risk offenders.
· Additionally, the Commission found that CRCs would
be more effective at reducing recidivism if the
facilities offered evidence-based treatment for
offenders in addition to supervision.
1:38:22 PM
Mr. Shilling showed Slide 27, "Recommendation - Improve
Treatment Offerings in CRCs and Focus CRC Resources on
High-Risk Offenders":
· Require CRCs to provide treatment (cognitive-
behavioral, substance abuse, aftercare and/or
support services) designed to address offenders'
criminogenic needs.
· Implement admission criteria for CRCs that would:
o Prioritize placement in CRCs for people who
would benefit most from more intensive
supervision and treatment; and
o Minimize the mixing of high- and low-risk
offenders
1:38:38 PM
Senator Hoffman asked where CRCs were located in the state.
Mr. Shilling believed that there were 8 facilities in the
state, and that the DOC could provide a list with
addresses.
1:38:54 PM
AT EASE
1:39:06 PM
RECONVENED
Senator Bishop wondered whether the commission had
considered the workforce potential of those housed in CRCs,
and whether tot improve of expand on work programs.
Mr. Shilling agreed that CRCs would be the appropriate
place to transition a long-term sentenced offender into the
work environment before completely reentering society. He
expressed that he would be happy to work with the committee
to address the issue.
1:40:53 PM
Vice-Chair Micciche referred to Slide 3. He wondered why
the two years [FY 2002 and FY 2011] had been chosen.
Mr. Shilling replied that he did not know why the two
specific years had been selected. He said that he could
provide the committee with recidivism rated for all of the
years spanning 2002 through 2011.
1:41:43 PM
Vice-Chair Micciche requested the same information for
Slide 8, which only listed 2005 and 2014. He said he was
leery of years being specifically selected in order to make
a point.
Mr. Shilling pointed out that the years were had been
chosen in order to offer a 10 year window of time.
1:42:18 PM
Vice-Chair Micciche wanted to know what the average term of
probation for each class of offender listed on the slide.
Mr. Shilling replied that felony offenders had an average
probation sentence of 3.69 years, misdemeanor offenders had
average probation sentences of 2.96 years, and 17 percent
of misdemeanor offenders had probation sentences of 5 years
or more. He offered to provide more comprehensive numbers
at a later date.
Vice-Chair Micciche wanted to know how many offenders would
fall outside of the cap, and why those terms would be
longer.
Mr. Shilling agreed to provide the information.
1:43:52 PM
Senator Bishop stated that the presumptive terms for
incarceration were different in 2005 than they were
currently. He wondered whether Slide 18 correlated with
Page 30 of the commission's report.
Mr. Shilling explained that the policy was meant for a
person who was no longer in a DOC facility, and was on
active supervision. He said that the state of Alaska had
never had a limit or a range on how long someone could
spend in prison for probation violations. He stated that
there had always had been a wide range of judicial
discretion in sentencing for violations. He relayed that SB
91 proposed limiting that discretion, as offenders were
currently spending inordinate amounts of time in prison for
relatively low-level conduct.
1:45:23 PM
Vice-Chair Micciche asked whether a technical violation was
considered a secondary crime under Alaska law.
Mr. Shilling stated that a technical violation was
generally defined as any probation violation that was not a
new offense. He qualified that often when looking at DOC
data on probation violators, a petition to revoke
probation/parole were placed alongside a new offence, which
made it difficult to separate the numbers. He furthered
that often a probation violation is done alongside new
criminal conduct.
1:46:19 PM
TONY PIPER, STATEWIDE PROGRAM MANAGER, ALCOHOL SAFETY
ACTION PROGRAM, DIVISION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES (via teleconference),
informed the committee that he was available to answer
questions.
1:47:50 PM
DEAN WILLIAMS, COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
acknowledged that many of the recommendations would signify
a course change for the department. He mentioned that the
department had struggled with caps on technical violations.
He relayed that the department supported the legislation,
and highlighted that the challenges raised by the bill were
positive. He agreed with incentivizing probation.
1:49:00 PM
Senator Olson wondered whether people in the department
would welcome the changes proposed in the bill, and whether
compliance might be a problem.
Commissioner Williams responded that bureaucracies
traditionally balked at change. He felt that the current
fiscal climate forced the reexamination of certain
assumptions about the system. He expressed that he was
ready to be proactive with the changes proposed in the
legislation. He believed that reformation of the system was
the right thing to do.
1:51:20 PM
Senator Olson worried that the commissioner would face
opposition from correctional officers. He queried the
location of the CRCs in the state.
Commissioner Williams stated that there were facilities in
Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome, Juneau, and Bethel. He added
that there were 3 in Anchorage.
1:52:09 PM
Senator Dunleavy asked whether the commissioner foresaw the
tracking of "good time" credit as a future accounting
problem.
Commissioner Williams replied in the affirmative, but added
that the problem could yield positive results. He expressed
concern that the time accounting issue was currently a
problem. He believed that the certain challenge of the

Senator Hoffman thought that the legislation would move the
state in the right direction, but foresaw implementation
problems with contract jails.
Commissioner Williams believed that he would be able to
work with contract jails, which he noted would not be
lesser used under the bill, but could possibly assist in
reform. He relayed that several contract jails had already
contacted him about the possibility of being involved in
electronic monitoring. He reiterated that some of the
challenges that the bill highlighted would result in
opportunities that had yet to be explored. He stressed the
importance that contract jails be kept healthy, as they
served an important purpose.
