CJCC Strategic Plan Proposal Outline (2027-2029)
This proposed strategic plan outline is informed by the work completed in conjunction with Justice
Management Institute and the final assessment of our CJCC.
I. Goal: Become a more data-informed body insofar as resources are deployed in response to
trends and challenges the community and legal system are experiencing.
A. Short-Term Objective (2027): Collect and review types of contact, clients served, and other
points of interest for the court navigator role.
B. Medium-Term Objective (2027-2028): Continue to track and discuss quarterly pretrial data
points (return to court, public safety) and assign available resources to those areas of need
(drug testing, GPS monitoring, etc.).
C. Longer-Term Objective (2027-2029): Internal Criminal Justice Dashboard displaying trends
and basic information to inform service provision.
II. Goal: Engage community members and organizations in substantive ways, to include
involvement in our committee and subcommittee work.
A. Short-Term Objective (2027): As part of updated by-laws, include individual(s) with lived
experience in the criminal legal and/or behavioral health systems on the full committee and
subcommittees.
B. Medium-Term Objective (2027-2028): Hold CJCC-sponsored events to engage the
community such as educational opportunities to learn more about the criminal legal system
and increase transparency of our work.
C. Longer-Term Objective (2027-2029): Increase community participation in overlapping
activities between human services and the criminal legal systems (public health forums,
etc.).
III. Goal: Update committee by-laws to reflect the changing goals and objectives of the CJCC.
A. Short-Term Objective (2027): CJCC Coordinator and Vice-Chair work to draft an updated
copy of by-laws to be presented to the Executive and Full committees.
B. Medium-Term Objective (2027-2028): Updated by-laws reflect a purpose which is in
alignment with new Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) direction.
Page 4 of 47
C. Longer-Term Objective (2027-2029): Updated by-laws reflect a purpose beyond
information sharing and includes policy recommendations for programs and interventions.

JAIL MASTER PLAN UPDATE
DATA ANALYSIS SERVICES

Page 6 of 47
Over the past several months, BKV / RDS collected and analyzed data provided by St. Croix County, WI, and the St.
Croix County Sheriff's Office to provide an independent estimate of jail bed needs and estimates of separation
requirements and optimal housing unit sizes to accommodate anticipated jail bed requirements for through the year 2040.
Sources include: a) Published reports (county population projections, available information regarding crime and arrests, and
other data); b) Information provided from the County Jail system data for 2015 through September, 2023, including
admissions data, housing unit management data, and nightly headcount data.
For today: a) Summaries of existing data showing current and historic use of the facility and housing / inmate data; b)
Estimates of likely requirements for overall bed capacity for the facility, booking area (intake-transfer-release area) use level;
and c) Initial summary estimates of likely requirements for special management housing needs through 2040 or beyond.
The information is intended to help guide the County, Sheriff's Office, and the BKV Group team understand more about the
existing facility and operations, and more about the needs for housing, inmate services, and inmate programs in the future.
'' ... their approach provides the data for planning and data to help future operations ... "

KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN ANALYZING JAIL POPULATION ...
In an article in the magazine American Jails (January /
February 2003 edition), Neil Vance (D.P.A. from the
University of Arizona), a noted author and lecturer on the
criminal justice system, identified fourteen “usual suspects”
when analyzing jail population:
1. Cite and Release Practices
2. Initial Appearance Court
3. Bail / Pretrial Release
4. Prosecutor Charging Decision
5. Defense Counsel Waivers
6. Substance-Abuse Related Charges
7. Mental Health Issues
8. Probation Related Charges
9. Sentencing Alternatives
10. State D.O.C. Inmates
11. Failures to Appear
12. Warrants
13. Court Case Flow / Calendaring
14. Management Information Systems

ADMISSIONS ‐‐ TOTAL DAYS
ADMIS‐SIONS TOTAL DAYS
• Almost 9 years of data
• 1/2 of total admissions stayed less than
1 day - used a total of 3,125 days (less
than 1% of total days)
• The group that stayed 1 week to 1
month used 37,500 days (more than
10% of total)
• The group that stayed 1 month to 6
months used 183,178 days (more than
50% of the total days)
• The statistics point to a facility with two
discrete groups. One is the group that
is not in the facility a long time but is
involved in booking, processing,
screening, assessments, bonding, and
releases. Others rely on classification,
separation for stable housing.

• Seven watch status categories used by SCCSO.
Each group has some individuals assigned solely
and uniquely to the group.
• Assignments often grouped into two major
categories -- a) Medical / Mental Health issues and
b) Administrative / Disc. Risk - threats.
• The M/MH group was 2/3 - 1/3 males / female, but
this means that the proportion of females assigned
to the M/MH watch was higher than males
• Males were more frequently assigned to the other
group than females (80% or more) (threats to
others; security and order of the jail)

At 41%, the case is solid for a housing decision based on M/MH status for SPMH, others. Not all M/MH would require movement to unit.
This means that M/MH+ RTS + 30 M (most severe) may warrant dedicated area; new person put on watch every 8-10 days on average,
Peaks above this but 40% of days someone (avg) someone was on this status --
Need 2 (4 peak) beds for M/MH + RTS + 30M for close observation for Risk to Self.
Peaks of 4 (see other chart) at today's populations -- could see higher peaks as population rises.

watch status (and LOS) shown
on graphic.
• On left side, light blue boxes
indicated when 3-4 in-
custodies were on this status
at a time (two periods with
four; nine periods with three on
this status concurrently)
• Future facility should
accommodate routine needs
for 3-4 (discuss options for
more).
• Consider layered M/MH area
with full observation, designed
for higher supervision, up to 15
minute and/or continuous
Page 32 of 47
INTAKE-TRANSFER-RELEASE
• Design for actual average daily admissions
• Max or "Peak" Daily Admissions on seasonal
or monthly basis are useful -- the ITR area
needs to accommodate these -- with an
understanding of needs for both compliant
and uncooperative arrestees, gender status,
risk (charge, previous histories) and medical
/ mental health needs
• Capacity of ITR holding must be related to
processing area planning and staffing.
Where holding is used to help handle peak
workflows, additional holding may be
required
• Both supervision and observation are
required; direct line-of-sights and fast
response time (unimpeded and close) for
special holds

MAXIMUMS AVERAGES
Page 39 of 47
HEADCOUNT (BY HOUSING UNIT) 2015-2023
• Average occupancies based on
daily headcounts, monthly
averages, then annual averages.
• Eight units exceeded 100%
capacity over the period
• Female housing units typically
averaged 60%-65% of functional
capacity; 50%-55% of full capacity
• Male Huber / Minimum security
units at lower capacity
percentages than standard units
• High-observation, special
management and high security at
highest occupancy levels (typic.)

PROJECTED NEED
Capacity of 150‐168 beds in housing for ADP of 120‐140 through 2040 ‐‐ in at least sixteen separate
housing areas of 2‐12 beds (indirect) plus (at least) four dorm units of 4‐8 / 12‐16 capacity (for min.
security "in" or "out" (Huber)), assuming:
• 15‐20% peaking / classification factor . Currently would require 20% or higher (see E.H.U. capacity chart).
• Continued use of Huber and alternative‐to‐incarceration programs per County CJ Committee criteria;
• Improvements in intake‐transfer‐release center (ITR), including addition of 20‐22 holding cells with appropriate
separations (combative, high observation, med/mh hold, high observation / detox, cooperative) and provisions for
classification, and appropriate transfer / release processes) for first 4‐8 through 16 hours;
• Commitment to use of established classification system (various models) for initial screening and classification (repeat
offenders plus new charges; after classification process incl. M/MH/Programming evaluations, risk)
• SH ‐ Increased capacity and appropriate housing for short‐ and longer‐range holding / housing of special management
populations ‐‐ including ‐‐ three levels of medical / mental health special populations (incl. high observation of 4‐6 high‐
observation danger to self; step down (30‐ to 60‐minute but special watch; other M/MH housing serious and persistent
mental illness (diagnosed) as residential groups (may require multiple subgroups).
• SH ‐ Increased capacity for high‐risk holds (multiple genders); including provisions for long‐term holds with 23‐hour
restrictions ‐ to provide protected access for recreation, religious, diet, law library, etc. Could make use of I, J, K, L if
other housing provided for M/MH.
• Assume transitional housing for classification, reclassification, high‐observation holding
• Plan for future expansion for 48 or more beds beyond 2045‐2050.

REPEAT ADMITTEES - SOME NOTES
RESPONSE TO REPEAT OFFENDERS SYSTEMATIC APPROACH
Would need considerable study -- ALOS
difference and numbers of admissions could be
due to how "admissions" are counted, and due
to the number of sentenced admittees (more
than 2,000) and the average length of their
sentences.
However, it could be a County Justice Steering
Committee discussion point, and could lead to a
program to use more individual assessments,
develop individual plans, and look at close
monitoring in conjunction with Probation / other
services.
