STRATEGIC PLAN:

Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) has an established contract with Integrated Security Controls to provide the camera and security system throughout the jail. Over the term of the contract there has been the need to expand the system for better overall security. These expansions create additional safety precautions for inmates and staff.
With this funding, HCCF plans to expand in three of the large dormitories to have cameras placed in classrooms that are connected to the housing unit. These classrooms have not been used due to the fact they are out of sight for staff. By placing cameras in them this will allow for programs and volunteers to provide services to inmates in those classrooms while also being monitored for safety. This will allow HCCF to provide better services to those incarcerated, so they are better prepared for release. Some examples of the programming would be Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous, parenting classes, (General Educational Development) GED test preparation, substance abuse, ministry and other types of counseling/instruction.
