Let's Be Audacious and Hopeful!
Tommy Adkisson
County Commissioner's Comments
February 5, 2008
Redemption as Key to a Functional Society If there's any prayer central to much of our profession of faith, the Lord's Prayer reflects a great deal of it. I always think of the word "as" as its most powerful word. Remember: Don't forgive us more or less but "as" we forgive those who have trespassed against us. I wish I could tell you that Bexar County's effort to pursue Re-Entry is simply to honor the Lord's Prayer's admonition. Yes, we want to hear the message of the Lord's Prayer. But very importantly, we want to stop the hemorrhaging of money into our jail with precious little to show for it. The Current Status of our Jails & Prisons Think about it: - We have a "one size fits all" approach to our jails and our prisons. For the most part, you're either in or out of a maximum security prison.
- The very thing your parents tell you as a kid is, "Tell me with whom you run and I'll tell you who you are." Yet, we take marginal or lesser offenders and in the name of our own security or penalizing these individuals, surround them with some of the worst influences you could find on God's green earth!
- Furthermore, when they get out of these institutions, we expect them to be functional!
- Every 400 inmates at the BC Jail costs us $8 million per year and we regularly have over 4,000 inmates in our jail. That's $80 million annually!
- And, over 80% will commit another crime and return to the Bexar County Jail.
- The U.S. has 5% of the world's population and 25% of its incarcerated population.
Re-Entry Council Will Help Cure a Sick Penal System - It will serve as the community's think tank concerning re-entry strategies and projects;
- It will be responsible for developing a county-wide model for re-entry;
- It will help leverage existing community resources;
- It will recommend changes in legislation and policies that foster successful re-entry; and,
- It will identify and facilitate strategic collaborations between government, private and non-profit providers!
CRITICAL INITIATIVES OF REENTRY COUNCIL The following Committees will determine what under these areas we should work on: -
* our community and its neighborhoods have a responsibility for re-integrating our sons and daughters back into our community instead of shirking our duty and dumping it on other communities * As the major medical provider, Bexar County has a huge vested interest in prevention of disease and in the overall health of our workforce! * This Session of the Legislature should address the Blue Warrant Bill passed last Session but vetoed by the Governor 1. Workforce---Education of the Formerly Incarcerated 2. Housing & Social Services 3. Medical Issues 4. Legislative 5. Education
