State Commission of Correction

The enacted budget makes no changes to the Executive Budget; the Commission’s SFY 2010-11 All Funds appropriation is reduced by  $36,000 from the SFY 2009-10 enacted budget All Funds appropriation (June 22, 2010):

The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 26, 2010):

A SFY 2010-11 workforce of 32.  This maintains the level of FTEs from the adjusted FTE level for FY 2009-109.  The following chart identifies adjustments in the current fiscal year’s FTEs along with the recommended differences in FY 2010-11 FTEs by program):

• The Commission lost two positions during SFY 2009-10 that were originally funded in the enacted SFY 2009-10 budget.

• An All Funds budget of $2.975 million, a decrease of $36,000, (-1.2%) from the enacted All Funds SFY 2009-10 appropriation.  This decrease is due to a $42,000 decrease in the Improvement of Facilities program’s non-personal services appropriation offset by a $6,000 increase in the personal service appropriation. The non-personal services reduction is mostly in the contractual services appropriation ($22,000 decrease) and travel appropriation ($19,000 decrease).

• The Executive Budget shows that the Commission does not have any consulting service contracts.

• Article VII legislation which would provide greater flexibility in the administration of local jails by altering segregation rules for certain inmates, authorizing broader use of video conferencing, authorizing men and women to share infirmaries, and permitting voluntary inmate work at not-for-profit corporations.
