Administrative
Order 08-3: Measures
to Address Overcrowding at the Canyon County Jail in Canyon County
Whereas, the
Canyon County Jail does not have adequate facilities to house the existing
number of inmates currently incarcerated in that facility, and
Whereas, there is
a consensus among the various segments of the local criminal justice system
that appropriate measures can be taken in a collaborative manner to address the
jail overcrowding issue,
Now, therefore, It is Hereby Ordered:
That the concept
of “work release” privileges, when utilized by a Court in any
sentence to the Canyon County Jail, is intended by the judge to include work
release, work search as governed by Canyon County Jail guidelines, and
inmate-worker detail.
That when a
sentencing judge orders a commitment to the Canyon County Jail and uses the
additional term “with options” in connection to that jail time,
such shall authorize the Canyon County Sheriff’s Department to evaluate
the inmate’s classification status and utilize certain available
placement resources to include work release, as defined above, the day reporting
program, electronic monitoring programs, SILD, etc. However, if the sentencing
judge intends to limit or prohibit the use of any of the options available
under that designation, the judge shall so designate which programs are not
allowed to be considered for that inmate.
Dated this 14th day of November, 2008.
Signed by Gregory
M. Culet, Administrative District Judge
