GENERAL DISCUSSION:

ASSOC. SUPT SAWYER

SHARED…..

THE MONTHLY MEETINGS WILL TRY TO GO AS FOLLOWS: 5-10 MINUTES – INTRODUCTIONS AND THE CO-CHAIR WILL REVIEW THE PREVIOUS

MEETING MINUTES AND SHARE KEY POINTS 35 MINUTES – GUEST SPEAKER PRESENTATION 15-20 MINUTES – GENERAL DISCUSSION ITEMS RULES ARE ENFORCED AS REACTIVE STATEMENTS TO INCIDENTS –

1. FAMILY/FRIENDS VISITATION IS A HUGE FACTOR IN REDUCING RECIDIVISM

– BUT FATHERS INVOLVEMENT IS AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST 2. IT IS BEST TO HANDLE ISSUES AT THE LOWEST LEVEL 3. BE ACCOUNTABLE – HOLD SELF-ACCOUNTABLE – ASK YOURSELF ‘WHAT IS

MOST IMPORTANT’ 4. IF WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS A “RULE’ – THEN ASK! 5. NOTHING IS GOING TO BE PERFECT – WE MAY ALL DRIVE 75 MPH IN A 70

MPH ZONE BUT GETTING A TICKET WHEN WE WERE DRYING 71 MPH IS

STILL WORTHY OF A TICKET

UPCOMING CHANGES:

1. LIMIT TO DEBITEK CARD WILL BE $40 – 1 DEBITEK CARD PER VISITOR 2. VISITORS WILL BE PROCESSED AND ALLOWED INTO THE VISITATION ROOM

BEFORE OUR LOVED ONES COME IN – THIS SHOULD MAKE PROCESSING

QUICKER – BUT….KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO BE LOTS OF RULES

AROUND THIS DECISION 3. SIGNS AND TICKET MACHINE WILL BE MOVED. TICKET MACHINE WILL BE

CLOSE TO THE CAMP ENTRANCE WHERE THE ‘PULLOUT’ IS PRESENTLY. VISITING STAFF WILL PULL THE FIRST TICKET AT 10:00 A.M. AND WILL

CALL NUMBERS SUBSEQUENT TO THAT # (IN OTHER WORDS, PULLED

TICKETS BEFORE 10:00 A.M. WILL BE INVALID)
