Rosalie Roy, director of outreach services for the Boys & Girls Club, described a voluntary juvenile diversion program that accepts officer referrals in lieu of prosecution. She said diversion participants who engage with the program have low recidivism rates: the presenters cited a program metric that 95 percent of participating youth did not reoffend, and county probation data cited 88 percent of referred youth did not reoffend over a recent year. Roy said the program provides accountability agreements, a year of free club membership and activities such as college tours, conservation outings and arts programming.

Brody Palmer, director of the Pivot Reengagement Center, described adult reengagement and workforce training programs for 16‑ to 35‑year‑olds. Pivot has delivered certified training cohorts (30 certified MIG welders, multiple OSHA 10 completions) and provides stipends and barrier‑reduction funds for graduates. Programs pay participants $150 per week during training, provide transportation, meals, and industry certifications, and include post‑graduation check‑ins at 30, 60 and 90 days. Palmer said Pivot is felony‑friendly and partners with employers and nonprofit funders to expand opportunities.

Both presenters said much of the work is grant‑funded and uses partnerships, and neither asked the board for direct county funding at this meeting. They asked the board to help amplify referrals and to consider contract expansions for adult day reporting and diversion slots so more justice‑involved youth and adults can access programming.

\"When we get a kid to come to one of our clubs and enter into the diversion program, 96 percent of them complete an accountability agreement,\" Roy said. Palmer added that cohorts include stipends and barrier funds to help graduates stay in work—his program recently provided $650 barrier funds and an additional $500 at 30‑day check‑in for a recent cohort.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Indianapolis, IN - Community Corrections Advisory Board - Jun 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Boys & Girls Club of Indianapolis and the Pivot Reengagement Center described diversion outcomes (high non‑reoffense rates) and workforce training programs including welding, OSHA 10 and culinary arts, and asked the board to link referrals and potential contract expansions to the county reentry system.","taxTitle","Indianapolis City, Marion County, Indiana","taxId",3627,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6553012,"County moves forward with Duval facility assessment; new work‑release designs could include women's living units",347,2795000,3142000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5080599-a7cc702745a05cbf392d5fbc895fa506&start=2795&end=3142","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5080599-a7cc702745a05cbf392d5fbc895fa506/thumbnail_2795000.jpg","/articles/6553012/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/County-moves-forward-with-Duval-facility-assessment-new-workrelease-designs-could-include-womens-living-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553012-169533d33c82324309d5070cc6cded9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147143&Signature=f9tQEDMQT~2Nj6r6GRKOCAfcC05pPJZm2UmWdG0B5wPS7gl09znaoIHaawXaGGB7VPCIPJJ1BUDJid9GYof9lSpKosAl0fZqjBmUgBfD7ivLqfw~fFP8EF3fYlizdyodclpd9711NVxMuNRZXPR5Y5X2LibEl7G5JIEM~m-fKtPKkoACxM4PliRHvU7B0gL1C03Z79ezmgr9JwX5sUK4Ms~lQxs9Tv8trbofWnsjzWj7oJ7MKa1Xd6vhgmM8yONZiOAdiU4UA7IwsD2b-z3SBHFHG8BU6QVwHhqlFmQ55rlvi33iX9oJPGAl63BZ7rTloxyZLAzZqaLEqJb2L3m1PQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Agency staff told the Marion County Community Corrections Advisory Board that County Council approved $100,000 to conduct a facility assessment of the Duval Work Release Facility. The assessment will review square footage, bathrooms, living units and options for a new facility, and staff said Office of Finance and Management is leading the work.

Staff described recurring repair costs at Duval — including recent freezer failures and multiple repairs over the past 6–9 months — and said replacement equipment can carry significant costs (staff estimated $50,000–$60,000 for a new freezer). Those maintenance needs factored into the argument for an assessment and potential replacement rather than continued repeated repairs.

The assessment will also examine whether a new work‑release facility should include dedicated female living units. Staff said a decision to include a women’s wing would depend on utilization; if female demand reaches levels seen in some prior years (e.g., 25 beds), a permanent wing would be easier to justify. Staff described modern facility design options such as 2–4 person rooms or 10‑person pods to support a more therapeutic environment than dormitory‑style bunk rooms.

Agency staff noted some adjacent city‑owned properties could serve as locations, but no decisions have been made. The county expects the DOC grant award next week and said those funds and facility costs will factor into longer‑term decisions.

\"At some point we're gonna spend the equivalent of a new building just trying to fix something,\" a staff member said, arguing the county should consider a new facility rather than continue costly repairs.","County staff reported that Council approved $100,000 for a Duval Work Release Facility assessment and discussed options for a new facility, including smaller pods and a possible dedicated women’s wing if utilization justifies the cost.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6553017,"Board approves Dove Recovery House contract to restore women’s work‑release beds; judges say demand may outpace 10‑bed start",851,1932000,2783000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5080599-a7cc702745a05cbf392d5fbc895fa506&start=1932&end=2783","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5080599-a7cc702745a05cbf392d5fbc895fa506/thumbnail_1932000.jpg","/articles/6553017/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Board-approves-Dove-Recovery-House-contract-to-restore-womens-workrelease-beds-judges-say-demand-may-outpace-10bed-start","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553017-1d4f37c5edf6469e6b04038ee5224e33/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147143&Signature=jrqT6TqsT7k-arAxVk-G3pSaYhUZfod-dQdsboK4pHEBPO8qB9W6mPKPczUzFUR9qdinE-PPxkDLT12QLThOTyhMKKyCYai6wdou~6SNFnlhk88JOzKHNxOjQ2SdZLaxynxfIN9eK1AIp4x7nwgWJO6aPQemZsth~AixCnJBS3od9jP9MBgjnwCm-FgU~7JmegP6QIHY5NAykqGohbsWXfXAbfoykZyij1jv-7iQV7HI3hhsGwrB8sq4aRcz2wzIdEKVezuCyWLN8jXEuY8ets2RdWALnkGzZrvyNtl-Lzgf5vOnROcMVSTWL~ErgOPJ88JmcDlexp1lnDfoXNhwWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marion County Community Corrections Advisory Board approved a one‑year contract with Dove Recovery House for Women to provide up to 10 residential treatment beds for women in work release, with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $110,000 based on a $30 per bed per day formula.

Justin Garcia and Scott Hull of Community Corrections presented the contract. Garcia said Dove would provide supportive housing, substance use disorder treatment, case management, mental‑health support, life skills training, peer recovery coaching and reentry legal support. He noted that while Dove’s facility has a broader capacity (described in the meeting as about 50–60 beds overall), the 10‑bed allotment in this contract is a starting point and that Dove is also completing a facility expansion later this year.

Judges and board members pressed for details about screening criteria and security. Jim Snyder and other members said that historically women’s options have been limited and that demand could exceed a 10‑bed capacity; one judge said his courtroom alone has multiple candidates who have few alternatives. Staff said Dove will screen residents and has not specified a strict exclusion list for violent or child‑abuse offenses at this time, but that some screening may occur. Garcia and other staff emphasized that the facility is secure — locked doors, cameras and visitor restrictions — and that many current Dove residents are already under supervision.

Board members and staff also discussed the longer‑term question of whether a new county work‑release facility should include a permanent women’s wing. Agency staff told the board that the County Council approved $100,000 for a facility assessment of the Duval Work Release Facility; staff said that the assessment will examine options for female housing and that whether to include a dedicated women’s wing would depend on utilization and budget considerations.

\"I think they're gonna get filled quickly,\" one board member said of the 10 beds. Staff committed to coordinate with court administration and judges to notify them when Dove begins accepting residents and to re‑examine capacity after Dove completes its expansion.","The advisory board approved a one‑year contract with Dove Recovery House for Women to provide up to 10 work‑release beds at an NTE of $110,000.

County staff said the contract has no cost to the county: the service will be funded by resident usage fees.

Justin Garcia, CFO/COO for Community Corrections, told the board the tablets are already used in the jail and are well‑used for messaging, eBooks, music, games and video visitation. He described the NTE to the county as $0 and said rates are determined by Federal Communications Commission guidance; the transcript recorded examples as 14¢ per minute for remote visits and $0.50 per written message or photo attachment.

Board members pressed staff on several operational points before approving the contract. Questions included whether internal messaging between residents and case managers would be free or prepaid, whether attorney‑client communications could be handled without recording, what the tablet‑to‑resident ratio would be, and how monitoring and data retention work. Garcia said some internal messaging would be free but staff were still finalizing templates. He said ViaPath stores recordings for up to 60 days and that investigative staff and prosecutors and detectives have access for investigations; trigger‑word flags and other automated alerts can bring concerning content forward.

On attorney privilege, staff said the administrative side of the system can designate privileged numbers as free and not recorded; however, staff did not provide a definitive technical demonstration at the meeting and said they would “look into” specific attorney‑privilege procedures for pretrial detainees. The board also discussed internal messaging replacing paper message cards and whether tablet services would replace pay phones (staff said pay phones would remain an option).

The board voted to approve the contract by voice vote. Staff agreed to finalize administrative settings, confirm how privileged communications will be handled, and define how internal messaging will work for case managers, service providers and attorneys.

\"It is well used,\" Garcia said of the tablet service. \"We monitor all the visits... everything's recorded and kept stored for up to 60 days.\"","The advisory board approved a three‑year, resident‑funded tablet contract with ViaPath Technologies.

The board, chaired by Carlett Duffy, CFO for the Office of Public Health and Safety, voted to approve minutes for prior meetings and to allow the Marion County Sheriff’s Office to transfer Department of Corrections (DOC) grant funds to continue Enriching Lives’ substance‑use treatment services and to hire a part‑time administrative assistant.

Board members also approved a tenth amendment to a contract with PACE, raising the not‑to‑exceed (NTE) amount to $506,700 (an increase of $25,000) to continue employment services through December of this year; a three‑year, no‑cost‑to‑county contract with ViaPath Technologies to provide resident tablets (funded by resident usage fees); and a one‑year contract with Dove Recovery House for Women to reserve up to 10 residential treatment beds for Marion County work release at an NTE of $110,000.

The motions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript. Board members asked questions before several votes; concerns raised included state DOC budget cuts that could affect sustained funding, how ViaPath handles attorney‑privileged communications and monitoring, and whether 10 beds at Dove would meet judicial demand for female work release.

Votes at a glance:
- Approval of minutes for April 17 and May 15 meetings — Motion passed by voice vote.
- Marion County Sheriff’s Office IDOC/DOC grant transfer to fund Enriching Lives programming and a part‑time administrative assistant — Motion passed by voice vote; funding source: DOC grant (current and 2026 DOC grant referenced).
- PACE contract (tenth amendment) — Increase NTE to $506,700 (additional $25,000) to cover services through December; motion passed by voice vote.
- ViaPath Technologies contract — Three‑year service to supply tablets; zero cost to the county; residents pay usage fees (examples from presentation: 14¢ per minute for remote visits, $0.50 per written message); motion passed by voice vote.
- Dove Recovery House for Women — One‑year contract to provide up to 10 beds at $30 per bed per day; NTE $110,000; motion passed by voice vote.

Board staff noted that the county is awaiting the state DOC grant award amount, and that the council approved $100,000 for a facility assessment of the Duval Work Release Facility. The board set its next meeting for Thursday, July 17 at noon.","The advisory board approved minutes, a DOC grant transfer to continue the Enriching Lives program, a PACE contract amendment, a ViaPath tablet service contract, and a one‑year contract with Dove Recovery House for 10 women’s work‑release beds.","actionData","errors"]
