11. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Community Collaboration:
-This project is a collaboration and cooperative effort to expand and
enhance the treatment and supervision of offenders placed in Community
Corrections who have documented substance abuse problems. The project
will be implemented on a statewide basis made possible by
comprehensive offender placement coordination and the provision of
transportation across the state. This project will combine the
efforts of the following state criminal justice and corrections
agencies: 1) District courts, 2) Department of Corrections, 3)
Department of Public Safety, and 4) Parole Board; as well as local
agencies such as the Community Corrections Boards in each Judicial
District; and contract Service Providers across the state. The result
will be expanded sentencing options for judges in District Courts and
improved rates of successful completion of Community Corrections
placements.
EXHIBIT "A"
95242.e
Page 2b
B. Project Summary:
1. Problem Statement:
There are two types of community corrections inmates in the State
of Colorado: "Diversion" inmates who are sentenced by local
District Courts to community corrections in lieu of their
incarceration and "Transition" innmates who are returning from a
Department of Corrections institution. Only "Transition" inmates
and parolees are eligible for funding in the Greeley CIRT program.
"Diversion" inmates can be funded for treatment only if the
enhanced funding provided through this grant can be combined with
funds allocated to individual Judicial Districts for normal
community corrections supervision.
2. Project Description:
This project will build on the existing statewide network of
Community Corrections Programs to allow judges to use licensed
Community Intensive Residential Treatment Programs (CIRT) beds to
treat offenders with substance abuse problems. Existing funding
permits use of these resources only for inmates and parolees under
the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. This project
would expand services at the existing CIRT program in Greeley with
grant funds to 1) treat 246 Court -ordered community corrections
inmates in an in -patient chemical dependency treatment unit, in
lieu of their incarceration in the Department of Corrections; and
2) ensuring the statewide availability of in -patient treatment to
offenders sentenced to community corrections by the Courts in all
of Colorado's Judicial Districts. This will be accomplished
through the provision of statewide transportation services to and
from the treatment facility and placement coordination services
ensuring bed dates; coordination with the referring Court and
Community Corrections Board; dealing with any Court -ordered
expectations and correctional issues, etc.
3. Cultural Diversity:
According to Department of Corrections statistics, the ethnicity
of inmates in Colorado is: Anglo 53%, Hispanic 23%, and Black
21%. In the last fiscal year, the Greeley CIRT Program's
ethnicity background was: Anglo 52%, Hispanic 24%, and Black 21%.
This demonstrates that the Greeley CIRT program provides services
to a population that is ethnically representative of the Colorado
offender population. This ethnic diversity can be assured to
continue if the program can serve offenders on a statewide basis.
4. Goals and Objectives:
The goal of this project is to make available in -patient chemical
dependency treatment for community corrections "diversion"
offenders for all of Colorado's Judicial Districts. The objective
is to reduce the number of "Diversion" offenders being sent to
prison for alcohol and other drug -related reasons.
952125
Page 2c
5. Evaluation Plan:
A data base will be maintained on all Diversion offenders placed
in the program to include all pertinent process data and outcome
data. A follow-up study to determine the "success" or "failure"
of the target population will be conducted by a) regular,
incremental contacts with the referring agencies on individual
offender progress, b) a Colorado Bureau of Investigation records
check to determine any further criminal activity, and c) a cross-
reference check with the Department of Corrections to determine
any subsequent incarcerations of diversion offenders after
completion of treatment.
6. Anticipated Results:
As documented by the research described in the Evaluation Plan,
the anticipated result would be to reduce the treated number of
"Diversion" offenders' incarceration by 15%. 'this would result in
twenty-seven (37) fewer offenders being placed in a Department of
Corrections institution.
252425
Page 8a
20. Problem Statement:
The relationship of substance abuse and crime has been well documented
nationally, as well as in Colorado. The Bureau of Justice Statistics
reports that one-third of the inmates in state prisons were under the
influence of drugs when they committed their crimes. More than one-half of
the inmates had used drugs during the month prior to their crime of
conviction, most on a daily basis. Some studies also indicate that
offenders using drugs commit a disproportionately higher rate of crimes than
non -using offenders. In Colorado, the Department of Corrections' assessment
of inmates entering the systems diagnosed 73% with moderate to severe
substance abuse problems.
Colorado's sentencing system provides four options for convicted felons: 1)
Probation, 2) Prison, 3) Parole, and 4) Community Corrections. The average
daily count of felons in Community Corrections programs is approximately
2,000 offenders. To provide additional services intended to divert
offenders from prison, the Residential Treatment Center in Greeley was
opened. The program is a 60 -bed facility licensed as a Community Intensive
Residential Treatment (CIRT) program certified by the Colorado Department of
Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD).
The specific problem related to the Greeley CIRT program is the limitation
that State funds are available only for Department of Corrections inmates
and parolees, excluding direct placements of Court -ordered "Diversion"
offenders in the program. This means that, although two-thirds of
Colorado's community corrections population consists of "Diversion"
offenders, these offenders are not eligible to participate in the program.
This results in more diversion offenders with significant alcohol and other
drug problems being sentenced to prison, instead of being allowed to
participate in treatment.
21. Project Goals and Objectives:
The goal of this project is to make available in -patient chemical dependency
treatment for community corrections "Diversion" offenders on a statewide
basis, in lieu of their incarceration in a Department of Corrections
institution.
The objective is, through treatment, to reduce the number of "Diversion"
offenders being sent to prison for alcohol and other drug related reasons by
15%. With an average treatment stay of 40 days, and an average daily
population of 27 diversion offenders, this would result in 246 diversion
offenders being served, and at least 37 less diversion offenders being sent
to prison.
The Drug Control and System Improvement Program purpose area related to this
project is 113 (Board Priority #3): "Treatment for Drug Addicted
Offenders".

Page 8b
22. A. Project Description:
This project will expand community -based correctional resources to treat
and manage felons with histories of substance abuse. Two offender
populations will be served:
1. Inmates and parolees under the jurisdiction of the Colorado
Department of Corrections, and
2. Felons sentenced directly to Community Corrections by District Court
Judges.
Both populations would be in prison without the resources of Community
Corrections and the enhancements provided by this project.
Offenders participating in the project will be identified for drug
treatment through assessments conducted when they are received for
supervision by the Judicial Department, the Department of Corrections or
a Community Corrections facility, or by results of urinalyses that
detect continuing drug abuse. Such offenders will be referred for
residential treatment in the CIRT program in Greeley. State funding is
available for all costs of CIRT placements for inmates and parolees for
up to $47.46 per day. However funding for court placements is only
available for $32.38, prohibiting placement of direct court placements
in CIRT without the additional funding requested for this project.
The Greeley CIRT program was selected for funding by the state after an
RFP process in 1989. The Greeley program is operated by The Villa At
Greeley, Inc., a private corporation endorsed by and under subcontract
with the Weld County Community Corrections Board.
CIRT treatment lasts from 30-45 days. With an average length of stay of
40 days, the 27 beds will permit treatment of 246 court placed offenders
during the contract period.
After completing residential treatment in CIRT, offenders will return to
their home communities, where they will be supervised by local Community
Corrections programs across the state.
This project interlinks with existing community corrections programs,
but expands the services to offender populations that currently cannot
be placed in residential treatment, thus limiting their correctional
services and supervision options in the community.
22. B. Workplan and Timetable:
This project is an expansion of programming already on line for
Department of Corrections inmates. Schedule of project activities is
listed below.
September, 1995
Project Director notifies service provider
(Residential Treatment Center) of the
availability of grant funds to expand treatment
services in order for them to take whatever steps
are necessary to be ready to begin the referral
and placement process for Diversion offenders.

Page 8c
September, 1995
October, 1995
October, 1995 -
September, 1996
September 30, 1996
Community Corrections Boards in all judicial
districts are notified of the availability of
grant funds for treatment for Diversion
offenders.
Project begins. Residential Treatment Center
begins accepting diversion offenders into
treatment. Staff at Center also begin collecting
data to provide documentation of project
activities to the Project Director.
Project services are delivered maintaining an
average daily population of 27 diversion
offenders in treatment. This will be the
responsibility of the Placement Coordinator at
the Residential Treatment Center
Project ends, data is collected and analyzed, and
the project is evaluated. This will be completed
the Residential Treatment Center Staff and the
Project Director.
22. C. Staff and Other Project Resources:
Project Director will be Sharon Street, Administrator to the Weld County
Community Corrections Board. She has been performing administrative
duties for the Board since 1988. The Residential Treatment Center
(CIRT) meets the ADAD Standards for CIRT programs and they are currently
under contract with the State of Colorado to provide treatment services.
(See Attachment 2)
22. D. Critical Elements of the Project:
The success of this project is predicated on two critical elements:
1. Development of a statewide referral and transportation system to
ensure referrals of "Diversion" offenders from across the state.
2. Adherence to Standards promulgated by both the Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Division and the Division of Criminal Justice. (See
Attachment 2)
22. E. Effects and Impact:
Specifically, this project will allow funding for 246 "Diversion"
offender placements in in -patient chemical dependency treatment, in lieu
of their incarceratio❑ in a Department of Corrections institution. The
program will be implemented, and will therefore have an impact, on a
statewide basis. The project also ensures statewide placement
coordination and transportation services for Diversion Community
Corrections offenders.
952425
Page 8d
23. Evaluation:
A data base on Diversion offenders will be maintained that will include:
- Number of offenders placed
Length of stay
Rate of successful completion
Referral/release agency or program
- Crime
Age, race, sex, ethnicity and gender
prug of choice
Reasons for unsuccessful discharge
- Drug Related - violent offenses
- non-violent offenses
- Not Drug Related - violent offenses
- non-violent offenses
A follow-up study to determine the "success" or "failure" of the target
population (determined by return to custody) will be conducted by
A. Regular, incremental contacts with the referring agency,
B. A Colorado Bureau of Investigation records check to determine any
lurther criminal activity, and
C. A cross-reference check with the Department of Corrections to
determine any subsequent incarcerations of Diversion offenders
after completion of treatment.
An Annual Report will be supplied by the Weld County Community Corrections
Board to the Department of Public Safety outlining the progress and
activities of the project throughout the previous year.
The applicant understands that it will be required to collect certain
consistent data as a condition of receiving federal funding, including data
contained in the Division of Criminal Justice quarterly and final reporting
forms.
25. Plans for Future Funding:
The Division of Criminal Justice has indicated a commitment to request
future state funds to ensure the continuation of "Diversion" offender
placements in treatment. Outcomes of this project can be used by the
Division of Criminal Justice to seek those funds.
