SIGNIFICANT
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: The FY 2004 proposed budget for the
Corrections Division reflects:
-
Non-Personnel expenditures increased mainly due to an
increase in the inmate services contract ($263,506), water ($25,773) and
consultants ($5,516) which are partially offset by a decrease in operating
equipment ($25,000).
-
FTE decreased due to the transfer of a Deputy Sheriff II
position to the Judicial Services Division ($51,039, 1.0 FTE).
-
Revenues increased mainly due to an increase in Falls
Church prisoner reimbursement fee ($200,955), inmate processing fee ($25,000),
DNA collection fee ($15,000), weekender fee ($3,000), state salary reimbursement
($102,141) and federal prisoners (from 33 to 34) in the Arlington County
Detention Facility ($33,441) which are partially offset by state cuts in prisoner
per diem reimbursement ($282,480) and a decrease in jail services/work release
fees ($19,838).

Pretrial
program screenings completed are the number of inmates who meet the eligibility
criteria and who are interviewed for placement. Attempted placements are the
number of inmates screened who appear to be good candidates and are recommended
for release to the Court. Actual placements made are the number of inmates
placed in the program by the Courts.
FUTURE BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:
-
Facility staffing levels will need to be addressed if
the jail population continues to increase at current levels. The Arlington
County Sheriff's Office is currently seeking technical assistance from The
National Institute of Corrections to conduct a staffing analysis.
-
If local inmate population increases, then the number
of federal prisoners housed (and the resulting revenues to the County) would
decrease. The Detention Facility continues to house the maximum number of federal
prisoners without jeopardizing the safety and security of the Detention
Facility and the community.
-
Budgetary levels for building maintenance and repair,
equipment replacement and security upgrades as the Detention Center Facility
ages need to be addressed.
