JusticePoint reports full staffing, grant filings and expanded jail programs; outreach events planned
Summary
JusticePoint told the CJCC it is fully staffed after a September hire, has submitted a deflection grant and a TAD quarterly report is due, and described existing jail programs and outreach plans including community events intended to connect law enforcement and residents.
JusticePoint staff told the Sawyer County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council that the local provider is fully staffed after a recent hire and is pushing ahead on grant submissions, program expansions inside the jail and community outreach events.
Why it matters: JusticePoint’s caseload and program capacity affect pretrial supervision, diversion placements and recovery supports that shape county criminal‑justice outcomes.
Becky, a JusticePoint staff member, said Danielle Church began work Sept. 30 and has taken a full caseload, allowing Rebecca Moser to return to full coordinator duties. Becky said the agency’s overall caseload numbers on the report were: pretrial 96, diversion 14 and treatment court 7; she said technical issues prevented production of the usual detailed breakdown and that she had opened an IT ticket to restore reporting before a quarterly TAD report due to county staff.
Becky said JusticePoint submitted the deflection grant on the 26th and that the county grants administrator, Nino Leilani Nino, was pleased with the submission. She described outreach planning that includes community events intended to bring residents and law enforcement together; the materials are not yet public but JusticePoint asked for law enforcement participation at events such as a community trick‑or‑treat or meet‑and‑greet. Bill was identified as one of the program navigators and “the face of deflection,” Becky said.
Inside county correctional facilities, JusticePoint detailed program offerings: GED/literacy classes (GED meets three times weekly; report listed 11 writing foundations and seven math foundations completions), parenting programs (Parenting Inside Out), generational trauma and healing programs through Oakwood Haven, an eight‑week WeCope stress‑coping program under consideration for year‑end, 12 study groups, nine AA groups, on‑the‑job training through SEP and House of Hope, and no new developments reported for Building Bridges or COSUP at this time.
Becky said limited email delivery issues had delayed some Sawyer County messages to her inbox since Sept. 22; she said the problem was resolved the previous Friday but that she must sift through about 179 Sawyer County emails that went into a holding folder.
Ending: JusticePoint staff said they will continue to pursue workforce board collaborations and community outreach and will report back on the TAD quarterly submission and program performance once reporting systems are restored.
