non-sex (NX3) felonies who will serve their sentences locally, and can be subject to a mandatory split
sentence of post-sentence supervision (PSS) by Probation as ordered by the Superior Court.

PRCS and PSS cases are supervised with an enhanced 40:1 offender to officer ratio. A COMPAS risk and

need assessment and a case plan is completed within the first 21 days of supervision and referrals are
initiated based on the criminogenic needs identified, including referral to the Probation Report and
Resource Center (PRRC), GPS, or other specialty programming. During the first 90 days of supervision,
in addition to office visits, administrative, or Compliance Response Team (CRT) contacts, weekly field
supervision contacts are conducted with an emphasis on non-business hours. Upon completion of the

initial 90 day re-entry period, the offender’s supervision standards are reassessed based on their
progress and the results of
the risk/needs
assessment. High risk
offenders are supervised at
the highest level of

supervision. Medium and
low risk offenders will be
transitioned to a lower level
of supervision as dictated by

the nature of the offense,
and specialized legal or
programming requirements, and their risk score.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT COURT (SATC)

Since March 1996, the Probation Department has collaborated in the operation of a Drug Court
Program known as SATC, in conjunction with the Court, the District Attorney’s Office, Behavioral
Wellness (BW), the Public Defender’s Office and community-based treatment service agencies. The

goal is to reduce recidivism and substance abuse amongst non-violent offenders and to rehabilitate,
yet hold participants accountable for their actions, using tools such as:
 Judicially monitored phase advancement;
 Mandatory periodic drug testing and supervised treatment; and

 Graduated rewards and sanctions.
