The Use of Dutchess County Jail Bed Days Gary E. Christensen, Ph.D. President, Justice Solutions, Inc. 20
Criminal Justice Council Findings/Observations Average length of time spent in jail (ALOS) and # of jail admissions (ADM) drive the need for jail capacity (ADP). (ADM x ALOS)/365 = ADP. Increase in length of stay (ALOS) for DCJ inmates is the major factor driving the need for jail beds within Dutchess County. Increased ALOS is driven by longer-term, higher-risk offenders who are engaged in complicated court cases 18% (n=2968) of all releases (n=16,640) stay for 100+ days and consume 69% of all jail bed days used). 21

CJC Quality Assurance: Actions to Realize a 5-day reduction in ALOS Quality Assurance Committee All offenders incarcerated more than 60 days will be identified in order to determine if case processing issues are present and whether those issues can be effectively and realistically addressed, resulting in a more efficient criminal justice system. This group of offenders will be stratified by risk to reoffend, crime type, and jurisdiction. A computer query of the DCJ database will be designed by Dutchess County OCIS to establish a regular report containing this information that is readily available without special request or effort. 25
