Kevin Case started with Ontario County Alternatives To Incarceration on February 12, 2001 as the new A.T.I. Officer. He will be coordinating the Pretrial Release Program.
His educational background includes an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice from Monroe Community College and a Bachelors of Science Degree from the University of Southern Colorado. His prior work experience includes working for Lakeview Mental Health Services as the Forensic Service Coordinator, which was a position under the supervision of Ontario County Mental Health. This position provided Kevin with valuable exposure to working in the Ontario County Jail. His most recent work experience comes from coordinating the Pretrial Diversion Program for the Seneca County Youth Bureau.
Interviewing inmates in the jail for Pretrial Release began on February 20, 2001. The following are numbers for the first week (2/20/01 - 2/28/01) Pretrial Release started in the jail:
- 33 inmates were screened for Pretrial Release interviews.
- 10 inmates were screened out, as they were not eligible for Pretrial Release interviews. (Inmates screened out are those who are Fugitives of justice, inmates with detainers, Family Court cases, security risks for interviews, inmates deemed suicidal, Family Court cases, or those who have been ordered to have a psychiatric evaluation by the committing judge).
- 23 inmates were interviewed for Pretrial Release.
- 10 inmates were determined either verified or non-verified eligible.
- 3 inmates were released on Pretrial Release and 3 were not released to Pretrial Release.
- 4 inmates were undetermined.
- 9 inmates were interviewed and determined not eligible for Pretrial Release.
Kevin is hopeful that the Courts will utilize the Pretrial Release Program as a tool for supervising defendants and as time goes the program will expand. An area that he will be focusing on is educating those in the Ontario County Criminal Justice System about the Pretrial Release Program and how it can be beneficial.
