Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to reimbursing localities for the cost of maintaining custody of parole violators and certain other persons
Purpose
Localities are currently reimbursed at a rate not to .exceed forty dollars per day per capita for housing paroled, post-release supervised or conditionally released persons who have violated the conditions of their parole or release. This bill would provide for reimbursement of the localities' actual costs, as determined by the Director of the State Budget.
Summary of provisions
The bill amends Section 259-i (3) (a) (ii) of the Executive Law to provide for reimbursement to localities for the cost associated with providing care for parole violators, persons under post-release supervision and conditionally released persons who have been placed in custody in local facilities.
Justification
The current reimbursement rate is far below the actual cost the cities and counties incur for housing "parole violators." Localities are reimbursed at a rate not to exceed forty dollars per day per capita for the temporary detention of paroled, post- release supervised or conditionally released persons who have violated the conditions of their parole or release. These inmates are held in local correctional facilities on warrants issued by the NYS Division of Parole for alleged violation.of the conditions of release. The reimbursement rate was last increased in 1987, over a dozen years ago, and covers only a fraction of the actual per day per capita cost incurred by localities to detain these individuals for the State. It is for the convenience of the State that these inmates are held in local correctional facilities. There are over twenty-two hundred "parole violators" in New York City correctional facilities at a cost in excess of a hundred million dollars. The current maximum reimbursement rate is only about one-third of the actual cost.
