This program began operation in 1989. This project provides all criminal court clients, initially unable to post bail, the opportunity to be interviewed to determine eligibility for release from jail. The interview process objectively assesses the defendant's qualifications for release through release on his/her own recognizance (ROR), or, where the court determines the risk of absconding to be greater, through release under supervision (RUS). Program operations will include screening, eligibility determinations, monitoring functions, where appropriate, and court notification of those who fail to satisfy release requirements.

This program's purpose is to reduce the use and the length of incarceration. This project provides information, referral services and pretrial release plans at required court hearings. In addition, DBA prepares alternative sentencing proposals that will outline non-incarcerative dispositions and include detailed narratives regarding the defendant's social history, current circumstance and criminal involvement. The project is designed to take a holistic view of our clients and thereby address the causes of their criminality, to resolve those issues and thereby break the cycle of criminal activity. The target population of this program are males ages 18-25 who are in need of counseling services and educational and training programs.
