In the Administration Division a sentencing specialist was authorized in DU 1; and in DU 3 the personnel costs for a financial specialist (accountant) responsible for inmate banking was shifted off of the General Fund and placed on the Inmate Management Fund.

In the Field & Community Services Division under DU1, $350,900 from the Inmate Labor Fund, and $200,000 from the Parole Supervision Fund was provided for caseload growth which includes funding for one pre-sentence investigator, one half-time office specialist, and seven probation and parole officers. Under DU2, Expand Parole Transition Program $57,100 from the Inmate Labor Fund is provided to add 34 offenders to this specialized caseload. Currently, the Parole Transition Program pays for food and housing costs for 60 days for 30 high-risk offenders once they leave the prison system. DU5 is a fund shift of $1 million off of the General Fund to the Parole Supervision Fund ($500,000) and the Inmate Labor Fund ($500,000) on a one-time basis.

In the Division of Institutional Support funding was provided for a contract monitor for the new privately-operated state prison scheduled to open in July 2000, and $20,000 of General Funds to pay the ongoing costs of training employees on the use of the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) assessment tool authorized under the Prisons Division.

Under the Prisons Division funding was provided to pay for county jail beds @ $35/day for FY 2001. Funding is provided under DU4 to open the Parole Pre-release Center in January 2001 with 15 new positions. A total of 1.50 FTPs were authorized under DU5 for PWCC from the Inmate Labor Fund for inmate intake processing. Under DU6 one-time funding from the Inmate Labor Fund is authorized to purchase capital outlay. Additional funding and positions were provided in DU7 to the Idaho State Correctional Institution (ISCI) for a new offender assessment tool to assess risk and needs of offenders before they go into the prison system. While at ISCI inmates go through the Receiving and Diagnostic Unit for a thorough medical, psychological, substance abuse, and education-level screening to determine proper custody level, and to identify the educational and rehabilitation programming needs of offenders.

Funding was provided for the Privately-Operated State Prison for per diem costs of $36.52/day for each inmate; the first bond payment of $1,443,900; and $1,117,900 on a one-time basis for the start up costs to the contractor and for furniture, fixtures, and equipment per the contract between the State and Correctional Corp. of America.

An additional hearing officer at a cost of $50,000, and $12,300 for travel costs of commissioners were appropriated under the Commission for Pardons & Parole.
