A
We
must
all
work
together
as
an
agency
as
legislature
and
as
a
community,
to
provide
all
these
opportunities
tools
and
support
to
the
offender
population,
not
only
while
incarcerated
but
upon
to
return
back
into
our
neighborhoods.
If
we
do
not
work
together
and
understand
these
fundamentals,
our
families
may
become
potentially
the
next
victims.
A
We
have
some
important
goals
to
accomplish
during
the
24-25
unanium
operate
the
department
according
to
evidence-based
and
best
practices,
a
little
education.
The
evidence-based
practices
are
programs
that
are
vetted
by
the
Department
of
Justice
through
the
Institute
of
Corrections
or
the
correct
American
Correctional
Association
that
have
been
shown
to
by
proven
data
over
a
minimum
of
three
years.
That
provides
evidence
that
programs
intent
results
occurred
in
51
per
percent
or
more
of
the
individuals
in
the
time
and
of
accordance
to
the
Fidelity
of
the
programs.
A
Best
practices
are
those
programs
that
have
no
evidence-based
attached
to
it.
However,
there's
no
evidence-based
programs
that
actually
exist
in
the
desired
outcomes.
However,
they
are
still
vetted
and
they
show
that
they
work
just
not
proven
by
evidence
and
51
percent
or
more
of
those
who
completed
the
programs.
A
A
A
We
all
need
to
be
involved
in
the
life-changing
events
in
providing
the
right
tools
and
resources
in
order
for
our
communities
to
be
safer
when
the
incarcerated
return
home
to
our
neighborhoods,
improving
communication
being
transparent
and
in
constant
communication
with
our
local
law
enforcement
agencies.
The
legislature
and
the
local
communities
provides
the
opportunities
for
more
success.
Success
means
safer
communities
for
all
of
us.
A
As
an
agency,
we
have
a
number
of
common
challenges
and
opportunity,
also
opportunities
for
the
spinennium,
significant
staff,
shortages
and
retention.
As
we
know,
the
staff
crisis
continues
throughout
many
of
the
state
departments.
The
correctional
system
is
currently
running
at
over
50
percent
vacancy
in
officer
Staffing
in
the
rural
facilities.
A
This
means
that
only
50
or
less
of
the
positions
are
filled
to
operate
those
facilities.
This
number
does
not
include
those
that
are
on
workers,
compensation,
military
leave,
sick
leave
or
vacation
leave.
The
essential
Essentials
of
providing
a
safe
and
Humane
environment
may
be
impacted
if
these
Staffing
levels
continue
to
worsen.
A
My
number
one
priority
is
to
become
creative
in
finding
ways
to
enhance
recruitment
retention
and
staff.
Wellness
I
have
already
met
with
both
the
director
of
Public
Safety
and
the
director
of
Health
and
Human
Services
to
team
up
with
three
agencies,
we'll
team
up
to
what
these
three
agencies
to
find
ways
to
broaden
these
areas
of
success
and
stop
the
Staffing
crisis
in
the
state.
A
Just
this
past
weekend,
I
personally
met
with
the
director
of
the
Florida
Department
of
Corrections,
who
was
identified
as
the
most
successful
in
the
country
with
being
creative
to
reduce
staff
vacancies
in
their
system.
They
went
from
58
vacancy
in
officer,
Staffing
and
Rural
facilities
to
40
percent
in
just
18
months.
A
A
A
The
next
area
of
priority
of
mine
is
to
enhance
our
Technologies
to
assist
in
programs,
Support,
Services,
education
reduction
and
violence
and
re-entry
services.
We
must
use
the
best
practices
from
states
that
have
proven
positive
results.
Many
of
these
states
have
been
using
technology
for
many
years
for
not
only
creating
a
safer
and
opportune
environment,
but
a
proven
reduction
in
recidivism
in
these
next
few
months.
A
I
will
be
introducing
these
Technologies
in
providing
the
evidence-based
models
that
are
being
used
throughout
the
country,
which
one
day
will
be
part
of
our
system
in
the
state
of
Nevada
infrastructure.
Another
priority
of
the
agency
has
to
be
the
auditing
of
the
infrastructure
of
each
facility
to
see
what
needs
not
only
to
be
repaired
and
enhanced,
but
ought
but
to
be
solid
enough
that
we
all
feel
and
what
and
know
that
our
safety
of
the
public,
the
staff
and
those
incarcerated
under
our
care
are
all
protected.
A
The
neglect
on
our
infrastructure
cannot
continue.
You
cannot
provide
a
successful
program
if
the
safety
of
everyone
is
not
protected.
You
cannot
provide
a
safe
Community
if
our
external
perimeters
and
buildings
are
not
secure
from
the
years
of
infrastructure,
neglect
training,
the
ndoc
conducts
40
hours
annually
in
in-service
training
and
recertifications
for
every
sworn
officer.
However,
deficiencies
in
Staffing
prevent
compliance.
Training
cannot
be
accomplished
while
working
on
a
post,
a
security
post,
whether
the
training
is
in
person
or
in
video,
the
officer
still
has
to
be
pulled
off
the
post
for
the
training.
A
This
means
that
the
post
of
the
office,
the
post
the
officer,
was
in
and
assigned
to
has
to
be
filled
with
another
officer
staff
and
offender
safety
issues.
One
immediate
observation,
I
have
already
seen
in
my
return
to
the
Department
of
Correction,
was
the
reduction
of
services
and
Community
providers
that
assist
the
offenders
to
change
their
behaviors,
which
also
increased
their
education,
providing
essential
treatment
and
connecting
their
support
to
their
families
and
providing
jobs
and
opportunities
and
tools.

A

for
the
operation
of
the
seven
seven
major
facilities,
nine
camps
and
two
transitional
housing
units
that
are
that
are
housing
units,
and
this
includes
2918
authorized
full-time
employees,
whereas
949
of
these
full-time
employees
go
unfilled.
As
of
today,
Additionally
the
governor
recommend
budget
includes
6.8
million
in
one
shots
for
a
much
needed
in
replacement
of
equipment,
Building,
Maintenance
and
other
important
operational
Investments.
A
We
will
discuss
some
of
these
One-Shots
in
more
detail.
A
little
later
in
the
presentation.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
your
staff
and
also
going
into
an
additional
details
related
to
programs,
medical
and
other
important
ndoc
budgets
during
the
public
safety
subcommittee
meetings
and
during
which
are
during
the
legislative
session.
A
We
are
all
fully
aware.
The
remote
remoteness
of
some
of
our
Correctional
institutions
around
the
state
are
very
complex.
These
institutions,
constant,
have
have
constant,
inter-facility
movement.
Offender
transportation
is
constantly
moving
throughout
these
areas
to
include,
but
not
limited
to
emergencies,
transfer,
transfers
to
home
jurisdictions
for
release
or
parole,
Court
subpoenas
and
transfers
from
one
Phillies
facility
to
another
due
to
program
availability
program.
Separations
and
transitional
housing
placements,
this
requires
a
lot
of
staff
and
the
majority
of
these
transfers
are
last
minute
and
unplanned.
A
The
last
minute
transfers
become
logistical
issues
when
finding
last
minute
staff
to
work
these
times
and
locations
to
transfer
transport.
At
a
time
when
staff
availability
is
very
limited,
one
of
the
primary
drivers
of
the
ndoc
governor's
recommended
budget
is
the
number
of
incarcerated
individuals
in
our
population.
A
The
governor's
finance
office
contracts
with
jfa
Institute
to
produce
three
separate
forecasts
for
the
prison
population,
which
is
which
to
be
completed
in
April
of
22,
October
of
22
and
February
of
23.,
we'll
be
working
with
your
staff
to
ensure
the
ndo
budget
reflects
the
most
up-to-date
population
projections.
During
the
legislative
session.
A
We
have
some
unique
variables
variables
that
impact
our
population
forecasts,
including
discretionary
parole,
release,
length
of
stay
and
crime
rates,
and
the
impact
of
ab-236
from
the
2019
legislative
session,
and,
additionally,
overall
population
growth
that
are
factored
into
the
calculation
of
the
population.
Forecasting
a
male
and
female
population
has
been
complicated
to
severely
do
the
covid-19
pandemic.
The
question
is:
is
how
long
will
it
take?
A
The
covid-19
impact
to
correct
itself
is
the
most
important
question
of
what,
if
to
answer
at
this
time,
jfa
as
assumed
an
inevitable
rebound
will
occur
in
June
of
2022
and
continue
24
months
after
we
experienced
a
drop
in
emissions
in
2020
Can,
which
continued
at
it
and
at
the
established
lower
level
through
2021
do
the
covid-19
pandemic,
a
slow
rebounding
Trend
began
to
emerge
and
it
is
assumed
it
will
continue
rebounding
through
the
end
of
2023..
A
After
this
rebound,
the
number
of
both
new
commitments
and
parole
violators
are
assumed
to
follow
the
long
longer
term,
trend
of
historical
new
commitments
and
increase
in
average
of
two
percent
per
year,
for
the
remainder
of
the
forecasted
Horizon
and
and
slide
nine
there's
I'm,
not
sure
if
it
was
updated
on
yours,
but
that
red
line,
if
you
see
on
the
on
the
slide,
that's
the
overall
population,
it's
not
the
female
population
that
I
think
it's
set
on
the
on
the
bottom,
so
the
blue
is
the
male
population.
A
The
red
is
the
overall
based
on
the
jfa.
We
expect
to
house
roughly
11
057
incarcerated
individuals
in
the
fiscal
year
of
2024
and
11
250
in
the
fiscal
year
of
25.,
although
this
is
good
news
compared
to
the
picture
we
experienced
when
I
was
first
leadership
in
2017
and
19,
we
faced
challenges
related
to
programs
and
providing
the
services
necessary
to
be
sure.
Our
population
can
safely
return
back
into
the
community
and
not
come
back
into
our
systems
in
slides
10
through
17

I'm
just
going
to
read
the
slides.
A
However,
they
won't
be
in
detail
for
the
presentation,
but
if
you
need
them
in
detail
to
ask
the
questions
and
I
have
the
detail
in
front
of
me,
it
was
just
too
long

information
for
you
I

A
This
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
what
what
I
see
is
going
to
be
the
downforce
trying
to
forcing
us
down
the
road
when
you're
looking
at
even
our
Correctional
agencies,
you're.
Looking
at
the
the
two
main
facilities
that
are
even
in
Carson
City
are
over
60
years
old.
The
infrastructure
on
those
facilities
have
been
degraded
to
a
point
where
it's
becoming
dangerous.

B
Thank
you

Yeager.
C
Thank
you
so
much
Madam,
chair
directors,
Renda
good
to
have
you
back
in
the
great
state
of
Nevada.
Welcome
and
thanks
for
your
presentation,
Madam
chair
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
if
I
could
and
the
first
one
wanted
to
say
thank
you
because
you
mentioned
assembly
Bill
236,
and
we
worked
on
that
together
and
I.
Think
at
the
time
we
worked
on,
that
there
was
a
real
crisis
looming
for
the
state.
Where
those
jfa
projections
you
were
talking
about,
told
us.
C
We
were
going
to
have
to
build
more
prisons,
which
was
something
we
didn't
want
to
do
in
the
state.
What
I
think,
maybe
people
don't
know,
is
most
of
assembly.
Bill
236
didn't
go
into
effect
until
July
1
of
2020,
which
was
a
few
months
after
the
covid
pandemic
started,
and
so
I
wanted
to
confirm
something.
C
You
said
because
I
I
think
I
understood
it,
but
the
projections,
the
actual
population,
the
prison
population
in
Nevada
and
probably
everywhere
in
the
country,
took
a
dramatic
downturn
once
covet
hit
and
now
that
we're
coming
out
of
kovid.
What
we're
seeing
is
an
uptick,
not
just
some
population,
but
jfa,
thinks
that's
going
to
happen
long
term,
so
I
just
wanted
to
get.
Maybe
your
thoughts
on
this
on
what
did
covid
do
in
that
moment
that
caused
that
downturn,
and
why
do
we
think
it's
going
to
be
going
back
up
into
the
future.
A
James
surrender
for
the
record,
so
just
personally
and
I
don't
have
any
data
to
support
this,
but
when
even
working
in
New
York
when
another,
where
the
pandemic
started,
we
everyone
was
put
on
pretty
much
like
household,
so
nobody
was
able
to
come
out.
There
was
a
lot
more.
A
There
was
a
less
crime
happening
actually
in
the
communities,
even
in
New
York
at
the
time
of
covid,
because
less
businesses
were
open,
less
people
coming
to
the
communities
for
from
out
of
the
country
and
I
expect
that's
all
similar
to
what
we
saw
in
Nevada
with
the
the
airport,
shutting
down
less
unless
the
individuals
coming
across
from
either
the
one
part
of
the
country
or
internationally
having
those
individuals
not
out
in
the
public
as
visible
crime
started.
Slowing
down.
I
do
believe.
A
Jfa
is,
is
accurate
to
say
that
the
population
will
increase
but
I'm
not
too
sure
how
it's
going
to
increase
as
its
claims
there's.
So
much
going
on
right
now
with
what
our
future
objections
are
going
to
look
like
with
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen
with
parole,
what's
going
to
happen
with
the
courts,
what's
going
to
happen
with
some
of
the
laws
that
do
change
that
actually
affect
the
population?
A
Is
the
increase
in
population,
something
that
I
can
control?
Yes,
it
is
if
I
do
a
better
if
we
do
a
better
job,
all
of
us
in
how
we
operate
the
system,
how
I
can
increase
the
services
that
I'm
going
to
be
providing
for
support
services
for
re-entry
Services
the
jobs
I
know,
that's
the
impact
that
I
can
make
to
be
able
to
change
behaviors.
There
is
programs
that
are
out
there
that
are
proven,
like
I,
said,
evidence-based
to
change
the
bad
behaviors.
If
I
don't
do
those
I
know
those
individuals
are
going
to
victimize.
A
All
of
us
we're
going
to
see
them
back.
I
have
to
make
sure
that
the
agency
increases
its
possibilities
of
doing
these
better
programs
and
doing
a
better
job
at
re-entry
where
our
goal
has
to
be
to
be
able
to
make
those
leaving
our
system
more
successful
and
connecting
those
families
and
resources.
So
we
don't
see
them
back.
That's
how
I
control
the
population.
What
happens
in
the
community
Parole
in
the
courts
is
not
under
my
control,
but
I
do
have
something
under
my
control
to
be
able
to
change
Behavior
great.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Can
I
asked
a
quick
follow-up
on
that?
Please
and
thank
you
director.
You
maybe
stole
the
Thunder
a
little
bit
on
my
second
question,
but
of
course
you
know
we
have
a
Department
of
Corrections
in
the
state.
It's
not
a
Department
of
Prison
and
the
idea
I
think
there
is
you
try
to
correct
Behavior.
So
when
people
come
out,
they're
not
re-victimizing
they're,
not
going
back
through
the
system
and
of
course
you
mentioned
some
really
important
things
to
do
that:
programming,
whether
it's
mental
health
substance
abuse,
anger
management,
re-entry
Services.
C
We
can't
do
business
as
usual
and
expect
different
results
and
I
think
certainly
aligned.
Philosophically,
my
question
is
where
in
the
budget
do
we
see
that
because
I
didn't
I
heard
a
lot
about
Capital
Improvements,
which
are
obviously
needed,
but
Are
there
specific
Appropriations
for
programming?
Are
we
going
to
see
that
in
the
Personnel
budget?
Where
do
I
find
that
in
the
budget
that
was
presented
today,
James.
A
Running
for
the
record,
so
when
you
look
at
programming,
we
don't
have
to
provide
and
pay
for
the
services.
That's
what
we
could
use
the
community
programs
for
that's.
We
could
use
those
Community
providers,
the
activist
groups,
the
families.
That's
why
you're
going
to
see
an
enormous
shift
in
the
way
we're
doing
business
just
in
the
next
six
months,
with
the
with
bringing
in
those
resources
to
us
what
the
community
is
already
doing.
A
What
these
job
opportunities
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
see
a
huge
shift
in
the
way
we're
doing
business
in
the
next
six
months,
and
it's
actually
you're
going
to
see
it.
Shifting
next
week,
I'm
gonna,
there's,
there's
providers
out
there
and
clinicians
and
Services
I
mean
hope
for
prisoners
came
to
me
and
they
have
millions
of
dollars
in
funds
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
utilize
to
be
able
to
change
the
behaviors
of
those
in
our
in
our
system.
A
I'm
going
to
use
it,
we
don't
have
to
be
the
ones
taking
the
weight
and
paying
for
the
services
and
doing
this
if
I
get
creative
I
can
create
services
and
programs
to
be
able
to
make
this
work
and
there's
something
else.
That's
going
to
be
introduced
in
a
couple
weeks
in
a
bill
that
we're
going
to
be
even
introducing
programs
through
tablets
through
wireless
devices.
A
All
these
things
are
used
in
almost
every
single
state
prison
system
in
the
country,
but
Nevada
they
cost
nothing,
but
the
outcomes
and
projections
that
happen
when
you
utilize
these
things
is
enormous
and
it
is
proven
to
do
the
right
thing
to
keep
those
individuals
from
victimizing
us
when
they
get
back
into
our
communities,
which
means
it's
all
of
us
when
so,
if
there's
I
don't
outside
of
Staffing,
we
don't
need
the
money
to
be
able
to
increase
those
Pro
I
got
the
resources
to
be
able
to
do
this
and
I'm
going
to
make
it
work.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
great
to
see
you
director
back
in
this
great
state
of
ours.
I
have
a
couple
questions
you
mentioned
and
you
had
on
page
11
medical
equipment,
193
dollars.
That
seems
like
a
small
amount
of
money
for
any
piece
of
medical
equipment,
and
you
perhaps
could
get
some
some
details
or
the
body
what
that
might
entail
and
where
that
would
even
go.
I
can
hardly
even
buy
a
stethoscope
for
that
anymore.
I
exaggerate,
but
just
saying
so,
do
you
have
an
answering
what
what
that
is.
A
I
have
our
medical
expert
here
today,
which
James
arena
for
the
record
that
can
go
over
it
and
how
he
came
up
with
that
actual
number
and.
D
And
along
the
same
line,
why
he's
coming
to
the
table
to
come
up
with
that?
One
of
the
discussions
we've
had
many
times
in
this
committee
is
Medicaid
Eligibility
and
health
care
and
access
to
medications
when
they're
discharged,
I
didn't
hear
anything
in
your
presentation
regarding
plans
for
that.
I
just
think.
D
It's
absolutely
critical
that
that
folks,
that
are
in
prison
in
a
environment
where
they're
either
started
on
medication
or
continue
medication
need
to
have
in
my
world
a
warm
handoff
and
making
sure
that
they
have
that
Medicaid
Eligibility,
making
sure
that
they
have
that
appointment
with
their
provider,
making
sure
they
have
a
couple
weeks
worth
of
their
medication
and
love
to
see
what
you
and
your
team
are
planning
on
that
I
know.
A
A
Already
in
these
wireless
devices,
there's
going
to
be
an
app
there
for
every
offender
to
use
that
are
used
from
their
cells
to
start
the
application
process
for
Medicaid
and
the
health
and
human
services
are
going
to
provide
the
the
Staffing
to
come
in
to
guide
them
through
the
process.
What
happens
on
these
is?
We
will
have
it
all
completed
the
Medicaid
application
before
they
even
discharge?
A
That's
going
to
go
up
into
our
Cloud,
where
we
can
give
access
to
that
to
Health
and
Human
Services
and
everybody
when
they
get
out
it's
going
to
Fast
Track
the
Medicaid
system
to
be
able
to
get
them
on
quicker.
What
it's
also
going
to
do
is
is
the
there's
going
to
be
apps
on
these
wireless
devices
for
medical
and
mental
health?
One
of
them
is
going
to
be
for
medical
emergencies
and
mental
health
emergencies
that
are
going
to
be
direct
right
from
the
tablet
to
a
source
that
I
provide.
A
That's
going
to
it's
going
to
require
immediate
assistance,
doesn't
mean
response
and
run,
but
it
could
has
to
be
a
phone
call,
something
has
to
happen
and
there
it's
going
to
keep
track
of
appointments.
It's
also
going
to
keep
track
of
requests.
So
if
there's
issues
it'll
track
them
it'll,
let
the
and
it'll
notify
the
the
medical
and
mental
health.
What
the
issue
is
what
the
appointment
is,
the
appointment
comes
back.
It
gets
verified
when
they
get
transferred
over
to
the
parole
division
or
they
get
transferred
out
those
those
apps
that
are
on
there.
A
They
have
access
to
them
when
they
discharge
as
well,
because
everything
they're
going
to
be
doing
on
these
wireless
devices,
they'll
be
into
a
cloud
they'll,
be
told
how
they
can
get
back
to
those
again,
it's
going
to
list
all
their
medications
on
it
that
they
want
that
they're
on
it's
going
to
education
on
the
the
medications,
the
side
effects
everything's
going
to
be
on
the
tablets.
I
call
them
tablets,
motor
or
wireless
devices,
even
on
there,
it's
going
to
have
education
on
there
about
their
medication.
A
A
James
render
for
the
record,
actually
it
doesn't
matter
the
language,
there's
translation
services
over
42,
different
languages,
which
I
didn't
even
know
there
was
that
we
have,
but
it's
all
going
to
be
in
translated,
Services
closed
caption,
and
it's
also
going
to
be
a
translation
services
for
us
as
well
great.
A
E
For
the
record
Russ
alfano,
medical
administrator
for
the
Nevada
Department
of
Corrections,
the
193
thousand
dollars
that
was
presented
in
this
in
this
is
just
for
replacement
equipment.
Ongoing
We
have
basically
established
schedules
for,
like
automatic
external
defibrillators.
Their
lifespan
is
about
four
years
before
the
pads
wear
out
and
batteries
are
tough
to
get
so
that
is
just
a
culmination
I
IV
pumps,
Vital
Signs
monitors
O2
monitors
just
the
equipment
that
wears
out
through
use
over
time.
That
needs
to
be
replaced
and
maintained
so
that
we
can
provide
services
right.
D
Thank
you,
one
more
question.
Madam
chair
shouldn't
be
long.
Thank
you.
My
next
question
is
not
related
to
health
care
per
se,
but
I'm
going
to
use
a
healthcare
analogy.
We
will
frequently
say
our
hospital
is
full,
even
though
it's
not
actually
full.
D
We
might
have
empty
beds,
but
because
we
don't
have
Staffing
to
take
care
of
the
beds
and
I'm
wondering
if,
if
you
have
the
the
capacity
because
of
your
vacancy
rate
that
50
percent
to
house
the
inmates
that
we
have-
and
if
you
do
not
are
you
do
you
have
Cooperative
agreements
with
County
jails
that
where
you
could
house
your
inmates
at
that,
that
may
have
been
sentenced,
but
there's
no
bed
at
the
end,
so
to
speak.
A
James
owner
for
the
record,
for,
first
of
all,
with
the
county
jails,
no,
we
can't
send
them
back
where
there's
no
agreements
right
now,
there's
actually
a
court
case
in
Clark
County,
Detention
Center,
where
the
court
judges
ordered
us
to
return,
one
of
them
to
the
county,
jail
and
they're,
refusing
to
take
them,
so
that's
all
being
processed
in
the
courts.
A
Now
whether
there
is
any
jurisdiction
where
I
can
put
somebody
in
there
on
a
time
of
emergency
I'm
sure
we
can,
we
can
push
it
right
now,
I'm,
not
at
the
state
of
emergency,
with
our
medical
coverage
and
with
our
I
am
with
the
medical
coverage,
but
with
the
medical
bed.
Space
with
Russ
can
probably
talk
about
this
Staffing
for
the
medical
areas.
D
Well,
not
specific
to
Medicaid
Medical,
but
I
did
get
a
call
from
a
constituent
regarding
an
issue
where
her
daughter
was
killed
and
it
by
a
drunk
driver.
He
was
sentenced.
It
was
their
DUI.
He
was
sent
to
prison
convicted
but
went
to
an
honor
Camp
directly
and
I
really
been
looking
into
the
law
of
where
folks
can
go
where
they
can
be
sentenced
and
apparently
in
DUIs
they
have
to
be
separated
from
dangerous
or
criminal.
D
What's
the
term
some
they
have
to
affect
separated
from
violent
offenders,
and
so
it's
and
what
apparently
wasn't
a
space
for
him
and
a
minimal
security,
and
he
went
directly
to
an
honor
camp
and
and
of
course,
the
family's
concerned
that
that's
what
he
gets
after
a
20-year
sentence.
He
goes
immediately
to
an
honor
Camp,
not
serving
any
other
time,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
bed
capacity
was
the
issue
not
just
for
medical
beds.
But
if
you
have
the
beds
available
to
house
minimal
security
inmates.
A
James
running
for
the
record:
I'm,
not
sure
that
was
really
medically
related.
Why
he
went
I
mean
I
could
follow
up
on
specifics
with
it,
but
we're
we
are
trying
a
goal
as
we're
trying
to
get
those
individuals
that
are
in
our
care
closer
to
transitional
centers
or
the
camps
where
I
can
provide
the
you
know,
more
opportunities
for
Community
involvement.
So
when
you
talk
about
you
know
the
minimum
security
facilities,
it
could
be
like
Warm
Springs,
where
we
didn't.
A
They
didn't
have
anything
here
for
transition,
so
it
could
be
a
little
more
than
that.
It's
not
about
the
medical
why
they
would
go
because
there's
actually
less
medical
into
the
in
those
camp
areas,
but
there
is
more
ways
that
I
could
provide
Transitional
services
to
get
back
into
the
community
and
how
egregious
the
crimes
are.
They're
still
going
back
into
the
community
and
I
do
the
best
we
could
to
move
them
to
the
lowest
level
possible
that
have
the
most
resources
for
transition,
and
sometimes
some
people
won't
want
to
understand
why
we
do
that.
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
go
to
Vice,
chair,
Monroe,
Moreno
and
then
over
to
senator
gokuccia.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
have
a
few
questions.
If
that's
okay
go
ahead,
all
right!
First
of
all,
welcome
back.
I
have
a
few
questions.
The
first
one
in
recent
news
stories,
there's
been
hunger
strikes
at
the
prison
system.
Long
hunger
strikes.
Do
you
think
on
page
11,
some
of
those
One-Shot
Appropriations
for
the
changes
to
the
feeding
system
and
the
bakery
ovens
will
help
with
some
of
the
complaints
that
the
inmates
have
and
maybe
alleviate
any
other
hunger
strikes
in
the
future.
A
James
around
it
for
the
record
I'm
glad
you
asked
that
question.
Yes,
this
is
part
of
the
plan
to
try
to
help
and
and
really
building
up
our
food
services
to
provide
keep
with
the
nutritional
levels,
but
to
provide
the
visuals
of
what
we
will
provide.
A
Looking
better
so
I
met
with
the
CEO
of
Aramark
last
weekend,
who's
going
to
be
meeting
with
all
of
our
staff
and
I
welcome
anyone
that
has
any
issues
of
local
facilities
that
are
prisons
that
are
or
camps
that
have
issues
with
the
food
services
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
more
creative
ways
to
make
the
food
more
inviting
looking
and
more
appetizing.
What
happened
in
this
state
in
the
court
case
back
when
it
started
in
2018,
was,
is
about
the
sodium
levels.
A
A
They,
it's
really
the
change
in
the
food
vendor
that
ended
up
complying
with
the
state
regulation
on
the
sodium
that
lowered
the
levels
of
the
looks
and
the
appetite
of
the
food,
and
it's
really
not
as
much
still
meets
nutritional
levels.
But
it's
it's
not
appetizing
looking
and
we're
we're
going
to
look
at
preparing
it.
A
little
better
creatively.
F
Thank
you
for
that
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
may
be
able
to
help
it
look
better.
Taste
better
would
be
ideal.
Inmate
programs
during
covet
a
lot
of
the
inmate
programs
that
we
had.
We
weren't
able
to
operate
them
or
have
you
been
able
to
bring
them
back?
What's
the
the
current
situation
of
inmate
programs.
A
I
can
do
job
interviews,
I
can
do
job
applications.
I
can
do
regular
MRT,
which
is
one
of
our
highest
based
Behavior
program,
evidence-based
program,
moral
recognition
therapy.
It's
all
going
to
be
done
on
these
wireless
devices
that
are
that
have
like
I
said,
have
been
proven
to
change
the
behaviors
around
the
country.
Substance
use
disorder,
treatment,
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
either
are
non-existent
today
or
that
we
can
actually
provide,
and
let
the
community
providers
do
that
with
us.
A
F
A
So
again,
you're
I'm
giving
you
stuff
that
I
was
going
to
surprise
everyone
with
so
anyway.
James
rennet
for
the
record,
so
I
do
have
a
really
I've
started,
teaming
up
with
companies
like
Ahern
and
well
through
hope
for
prisoners
really
doing
an
increase
in
the
job
market
and
training
in
the
correctional
facilities
just
met
with
Department
of
Motor
Vehicle
yesterday
to
do
an
even
CDL
license
commercial
driver's
license
for
those
at
the
women's
facility
and
the
men's
facilities.
A
We're
going
to
be
doing
I'm,
gonna
I
know
this
isn't
going
to
be
happy
with
some
individuals
but
I'm
going
to
eliminate
those
job
opportunities
that
are
not
sustaining.
I
mean
we're
doing
a
great
job
with
cosmetology
and
beautician,
but
and
they're
not
getting
jobs
and
they're,
not
sustaining
themselves.
A
I'm
going
to
be
looking
at
these
higher
pay
scale,
jobs
that
I
already
have
through
Ahern,
and
we
also
have
a
companies
up
in
the
north
that
are
going
to
be
doing
this
with
us,
but
they're,
really
the
higher
paying
jobs
we're
getting
simulators
in
for
welding
training,
high
level
welding
CDL
license
like
I,
said
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
more
creative
and
bigger
stuff.
That's
going
to
actually
get
those
individuals
jobs
in
the
community
that
are
more
sustaining
and
more
livable.
A
I,
don't
James
under
for
the
record:
I,
don't
want
to
come
out
and
say
what
the
actual
starting
pay
is
because
I
don't
know,
but
I
I'll
definitely
follow
up
and
forward
with
that.
So
you
see
where
it's
actually
at
today.
Okay,.
F
And
the
reason
I
asked
that,
because
earlier
in
your
presentation,
you
said
you
were
looking
to
Florida
to
make
some
changes
here
to
bring
people
on
so
I
quickly
logged
on
to
see
what
Florida's
starting
pay
is
and
the
starting
pay.
There
is
just
it's
41
600
as
the
base
pay,
but
when
you
add
in
the
entire
benefits
package,
it's
almost
71
000.
So
exactly
what
are
you
looking
at
in
Florida
that
you
hope
to
bring
here
and
how's
that
going
to
impact
my
budget.
A
James
arenda
for
the
record
I
just
saw
that
it's
actually
forty
five
thousand
starting
here.
So
it's
hard
to
look
at
James
running
for
a
record
if
I
didn't
say
that.
But
it's
hard
to
say
that
here
you
can't
really
just
look
at
starting
salaries,
because
here
we
have
a
per
system
that
that
takes
about
24
of
the
employees
pay.
A
So
the
take
on
pay
isn't
what
it
looks
like
when
you're
talking
about
forty
five
thousand,
where
Florida
doesn't
have
that,
but
when
Florida,
what
they
were
doing,
which
is
something
that
I'm
teaming
up
with
Public
Safety
and
also
Health
and
Human
Services.
They
actually
hired.
And
this
is
where
it's
going
to
cost.
A
The
taxes
were
income
taxes
and
that
that
don't
exist
here
that
they
do
there.
So
that's
what
Florida
did
that's,
what
I
think
is
going
to
be
a
benefit
for
us.
Pay
in
itself.
Doesn't
keep
people
doesn't
hire
people,
but
it's
the
whole
thing
together
and
and
employee
Wellness.
We
keep
forgetting
that
is
as
part
of
what
is
that
the
keeping
employees
in
place
and
happy
and
keeping
them
employed
is
what
employee,
Wellness
becomes
and
I
got
to
look
at
that
as
well,
not
just
Recruitment
and
Retention.
But
there
are
opportunities.
A
The
last
opportunity
I
would
ever
want
to
do
that.
Florida
did
when
they
were
really
desperate
because
they
were,
they
were
getting
to
the
point
where
it
was
becoming
too
dangerous.
They
had
the
National
Guard
come
in
and
they
were
actually
covered,
all
the
posts
that
were
non
offender
related
posts,
and
then
they
said
about
half
of
the
National
Guard
actually
joined
the
correctional
agency,
but
that's
not
where
I'm
going
with
it,
but
the
marketing
recruiting
is,
is
going
to
be
ideal
on
what
they
did
and
how
they
actually
did.
It.
F
F
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
kind
of
circling
back
to
different
types
of
job
opportunities
and
preparation
and
training.
So
have
you
looked
into
anything
within
computer
science?
So
there's
all
sorts
of
certifications
you
can
get
now
for
building
websites
or
Amazon
web
services
there's
different
ones
that
are
limited
as
far
as
time,
but
basically
gives
you
a
credential
that
you
can
put
in
your
pocket
and
your
fairly
those
jobs
pay
very
well
and
that
your
environment
may
be
a
good
opportunity,
a
good
place
for
folks
to
work
on
something
like
that.
A
James
around
it
for
the
record,
coincidentally,
just
this
morning
our
staff
met
with
NG
staff
and
they
are
going
to
be
putting
that
on
the
tablets
as
well.
The
wireless
devices
on
learning
computer
systems,
education
and
actually
getting
degrees
in
computer
science.
So
it
is,
we
don't
I,
don't
have
the
job
opportunities
for
say,
but
we
are
doing
the
training
for
it,
because
it
is
a
big
employment
opportunity
around
the
country.
So
the
education
is
coming
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Assemblyman
CH
Miller.
H
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
all,
so,
I'm
a
little
curious
about
some
of
the
programs
that
you
are
looking
to
some
of
the
work
programs
you're
looking
to
cut
you
mentioned
specifically
cosmetology
I,
don't
know
if
you're
saying
that
you're
looking
to
cut
that,
but
I'm
actually
interested
to
know
what
the
issue
or
the
if
there's
a
failure
rate
or
something
that
we're
looking
at
there
and
I.
Ask
that
because
you,
you
used
it
in
the
context
of
sustainable
jobs
and
higher
paying
jobs.
H
So
my
background
I
come
from
being
a
cosmetologist
for
12
years
right
here
in
this
state,
my
family,
several
of
us,
are
cosmetologists
salon
owners
and
then
not
salon
owners,
just
business
owners
where
we
controlled
our
own
life
and
schedule.
So
my
question
here
is
I
see
that
as
a
very
high
paying
sustainable
way
of
being
able
to
support
your
family
because
it
worked
for
me
so
I'm
curious
to
know
if
we're
cutting
that
what's
the
reason
and
what
other
programs
are
we
looking
at
cutting
in
that
Workforce
pipeline.
A
Thank
you
James
arena
for
the
record,
so
it's
not
cutting
it's
well
opening
these
other
opportunities
for
paying
jobs,
because
we're
we're
getting
influx
with
those
that
are
at
the
Florence
McClure
Correctional
Center
that
are
trying
to
get
into
those
cosmetology
and
beautician
classes.
Where
they're
getting
so
much
of
an
influx.
We
can't
get
them
the
opportunities
for
the
jobs
when
they
go
out,
so
some
are
some
aren't.
B
I
So
I
had
a
question
on
the
the
two
questions:
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
medical
co-pays.
So
it's
my
understanding,
the
direct
as
director.
You
have
discretion
on
the
medical
co-pays.
It's
also
something
that
the
audit
said
that
we're
the
highest
in
the
nation
and
it
is
a
medical
cost
that
follows
the
offender
upon
release.
I
E
For
the
record
Russ
alfano,
medical
administrator
Department
of
Corrections
with
regards
to
co-pays
that
exists
solely
in
ar-245,
which
is
governed
by
the
Department
of
Corrections,
and
there
is
a
we
did.
We
did
a
study
about
a
year
ago
as
a
result
of
the
the
audit
and
I've
yet
to
be
able
to
present
these
to
director
zorinda,
but
I
anticipate
having
a
conversation
with
him
in
the
near
to
immediate
future.
E
The
way
he
moved
and
we
will
we
are
presenting
two
alternatives
to
doing
co-pays
in
the
short
run
in
the
in
the
long
term.
To
answer
the
other
half
of
your
question:
the
bills
following
the
inmate
upon
release
or
the
offender.
Rather,
that
is
not
our
purview,
that
is
through
the
a
different
agency.
I
So
what's
the
wage
that
you're
talking
to
them
about
right,
because
last
session
I
had
a
bill
and
it's
well
known
that
some
offenders
get
50
cents
an
hour.
Some
75,
some
a
dollar
depending
on
the
prison.
Well,
there's
a
federal
standard
and
there
could
be
prevailing
wage
depending
upon
the
industry.
What
are
you
asking
these
private
employers
to
pay
them?
Because
they
also
need
to
be
able
to
offset
Marcy's
law
and
other
things
that
you're
charging
and
deducting
them
for
such
as
food
clothes,
Etc,
James,.
A
Render
for
the
record
I'm
sorry,
if
I
wasn't
clear
on
this
they're
not
going
to
get
paid,
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
work,
they're,
not
working
they're,
not
getting
the
CDLs
and
then
driving
and
taking
stuff
anywhere.
It's
actually
a
program
that
they're
going
to
start
learning
and
getting
the
certifications
and
licensures
before
they
go
out.
Ahern
has
positions
and
opportunities
for
them
as
soon
as
they're
released.
So
it's
not
working
in
the
institution
and
it's
not
through
prison.
Industries.
J
For
the
record
Bill
Clinton
deputy
director
of
industrial
programs,
we
do
have
in
our
programs,
we
have
different
levels
of
opportunities
of
employment
within
prison
Industries.
We
have
the
stepping
stone
where
they
start
in
as
a
porter
janitor
or
something
like
that.
They
come
in
anywhere
from
a
dollar
to
three
dollars
an
hour,
but
they
take
34
and
a
half
percent
for
room
and
board.
It's
24
and
a
half
percent,
five
percent
for
victim
crimes
fund
and
five
percent
for
prison,
Industries
Capital.
We
do
have
others,
so
that's
a
stepping
stone.
J
We
have
a
trust
company
that
we're
we
brought
in
and
I
brought
in
through
the
community
industrial
programs
where
they're
paying
minimum
wage.
At
this
time.
We
also
have
other
companies
that
are
paying
higher,
for
example,
our
welding
program,
which
is
state
run
at
Northern
Nevada
Correctional
Center.
We
get
a
study
from
Dieter
every
may.
We
get
it
in
and
implement
it.
We
have
to
pay
the
10
percentile
of
the
prevailing
wage
of
that
SOC
code
in
that
geographical
area.
So
right
now
our
welders.
J
We
have
a
welding
program
that
is
going
through
wnc
our
welders
right
now,
depending
on
the
code
they
make
as
high
as
14
to
15
an
hour.
So
there's
opportunities
for
them
to
start
at
a
lower
level
better
themselves
and
go
up.
Take
these
classes
and
gain
employment
and
they're
also
getting
their
degrees
in
applied
science,
and
we
just
had
approximately
10
during
covid.
J
They
got
their
degrees
and
we're
continuing
and
also
working
with
wnc,
to
get
the
cdl
simulator
to
work
with
our
compost
program
so
that
they
have
30
40
trucks
covered
in
every
day.
What
we
want
to
do
is
set
up
the
CDO
program,
like
the
directors
say
and
work
that
in
our
state
and
run
that
program,
what
they
will
do
is
once
they're
classified
properly.
They
will
drive
these
trucks
back
and
forth
to
Fernley
and
then
park
it
at
night
and
stay
at
the
camp,
but
they'll
be
making
minimum
wage
or
more.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
have
a
quick
question
and
we've
kind
of
bounced
around
about
this.
But
what
about
just
a
straight
education
like
I,
don't
have
my
high
school
diploma
person?
A
James
render
for
the
record
so
right
now
it
all
depends
on
where
you're
housed
and
what
type
of
education
you're
getting
for
the
GED.
These
Wireless
program
devices
are
going
to
give
it
to
everybody
and
there's
going
to
be
teachers
that
we're
going
to
be
going
to
individual
housing
units
to
help
them
navigate
the
tablets
or
the
wireless
devices.
But
the
GED
is
going
to
be
offered
to
everyone
that
doesn't
have
it.
They
can
do
their
school
work
right
on
the
tablets.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
Senator
Garcia
thank.
K
You,
madam
chair
I,
really
have
a
question
more
of
a
comment
but
along
the
lines
of
your
CDL
training.
You
know
now
the
law
is
in
order
to
get
a
CDL
or
test
for
a
CDL.
You
have
to
be
a
graduate
of
a
truck
driving
school,
so
it
it
would.
You
would
need
that
accreditation
to
help
those
people
along,
but
I,
think
you're
on
the
right
track
and
it's
huge
because
not
that
we
want
them
to
get
incarcerated
to
get
to
class.
K
But
you
know
along
those
lines,
if
you
can
in
fact
get
that
certificate
for
them
and,
of
course,
Bill
and
you
you
guys,
you
know,
I've
got
a
lot
of
respect.
Well,
the
only
other
the
question
I
do
have,
though,
is-
and
we
did-
you
didn't
touch
on
it,
but
we
presently
got
at
least
three
honor
camps
closed
in
Warm,
Springs
I
believe
is,
and
you
know,
I
know
you're
talking
about
reopening
them,
but
it
looked
like
in
the
gov
wreck.
K
Maybe
White
Pine
County
was
going
to
stay
closed
again,
not
training,
not
job
opportunity.
If
you-
and
we
touched
on
this
with
division
of
Forestry
yesterday,
if
you
guys
don't
have
those
those
fire
Crews
there,
they
don't
have
a
program.
I'm.
Sorry.
A
Real
quick,
sorry
James
under
for
the
record
I
have
a
meeting
set
up
with
you.
You
don't
even
know
yet
about
just
what
you
asked,
but
anyway,
the
when
you're
when
you're
talking
about
the
Warm,
Springs
and
I
know
that
was
that
was
a
and
waiting
for
a
question
about
it.
My
my
partake
of
when
I,
what
I
think
about
when
I
think
of
prison
systems
and
Corrections.
A
You
want
the
majority
of
the
offenders
to
be
in
areas
where
the
most
resources
are,
where
the
most
clinicians
we're
the
medical,
the
mental
health,
the
programmings
in
the
camps.
It's
very
difficult,
I'm,
not
sure
why
they,
the
agency.
It
was
probably
because
they
were
in
crisis,
but
why
would
they
would
even
close
Warm
Springs?
A
We
had
so
many
resources
from
Reno
from
not
renowned
everything
that
I
need
right
around
the
agency,
so
it
is
going
to
be
something
I'm
looking
at
about
what
to
do
with
the
Warm
Springs,
but
I
think
it's
a
big
shame
if
they,
if
it
remains
closed,
I,
do
think
we
could
bring
those
offenders
closer
to
here
to
to
be
able
to
do
Services
a
lot
better
and
to
be
able
to
provide
more
opportunities.
B
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
this
brings
us
to
the
last
agenda
item
for
the
day

comment.

last

B
L
Caller
you
are
muted
on
our
end,
you
may
begin
okay,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Sarah
marks
and
I
am
a
registration
service
located
in
Henderson
Nevada
I'm.
Also
a
woman-owned
business
and
I
wanted
to
address
two
things
today
that
perhaps
were
an
oversight
or
or
miscommunication,
but
in
talking
about
registration
services
and
DMV,
the
red
I'm,
a
member
of
the
registration
services,
Association
of
Nevada
we're
a
small
group
of
individual
owners.
L
Most
of
us
are
minority
owners
and
women-owned
businesses,
and
we
work
well
with
Miss
Butler
she's
she's
done
a
good
job
to
try
and
help
us
to
be
better
with
the
DMV
in
helping
consumers
and
constituents,
and
the
question
came
up
about
senior
citizens
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
forward
that.
We
do
offer
discounted
Services
many
of
us
as
individual
business
owners
to
the
seniors
that
do
not
have
access
to
DMV.
L
We
also
provide
similar
types
of
financial
discounts
to
Veterans,
who
perhaps
cannot
get
into
DMV
in
a
Time,
timely
manner
and
I
just
wanted
to
reassure
those
who
have
questions
that,
aside
from
the
typical
DMV
scenario,
registration
services,
Association
of
Nevada,
is
here
to
help
and
we
want
to
help
improve
the
registration
process
in
any
way
that
we
can
and
I
want
to
thank
Mr,
Watts
and
Ms
May
and
some
of
the
others
that
have
spoken
with
us
regarding
our
services
and
how
we
can
help
DMV
move
forward.
And
one
other
comment.
L
I
know
that
the
budget
has
been
addressed
with
giving
employees
of
DMV
more
money
because
they
are
on
a
lower
payer
scale.
But
I
would
like
to
put
a
caveat
to
that,
and
it's
not
just
DMV
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
way
for
the
DMV
management
to
clean
out
the
Lesser
ranks
that
are
not
performing
at
the
level
that
they
should
be,
and
it
seems
that
their
hands
are
tied
with
regard
to
to
being
able
to
either
bonus
people
who
do
extremely
well
or
get
rid
of
the
Dead
weight.
L
L
B
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Well,
that's
it
for
today's
agenda,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
those
who
participated
in
today's
meeting.
This
is
the
last
meeting
of
the
legislative
committee's
budget
subcommittee
session
starts
Monday,
put
a
smile
on
your
face
and
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
staff
that
has
helped
prepare
all
of
this
information
for
us
for
the
last
two
weeks.
We
could
not
do
it
without
you
and
we
are
very
appreciative
of
your
work
so
with
that.
Thank
you.
