Committee Report on Bill 241 Publicly Heard Friday, August 13, 1999

1. ATTENDANCE Senator John C. Salas. Chairman Senator Vicente C. Pangelinan

11. >IAIN SPOKSORS Senator John C. Salas

111. SYNOPSIS Bill 241 proposes to require certain statutory conditions, namely, armed escorts at all times and prior written notice to certain public officials, to be included by the Director of Corrections in the cond~tions attached to the "extension of limits of confinement for humanitarian reasons", and to make it clear that such relaxation of the normal confinement for the prisoner is allowable only to permit a visit to a dying relative, attendance at the funeral of a relative, obtaning necessary medical services, or for other equally compelling reasons. The temporary release of an inmate from the institution is not intended to be used for such things as shopp~ng trips to the mall, visits to a girlfriend, or other frivolous excursions. The bill tries to emphasize that the principal and overriding consideration that the Director should keep in mind in exercising the enormous discretion entrusted to him b y statute is the safety of the citizenry and not the accommodation of the inmate's wishes.

1V. TES'I'IRIONY Chairman Salas noted that several months ago, there was a great deal of criticism on the Department of Corrections (DOC) for allowing an inmate to leave the correctional facility to get married. The criticisln dealt with allowing a violent inmate to leave unescorted and for not notifying the public of the inmates temporary release. According to Director Sablan, there are no current statutes defining restrictions regarding the limits of confinement. Bill 241 maintains certain statutory conditions to make clear the reasons that an inmate can leave the correctional faclity, and under defined conditions.

Angel Sablan, Director of the Department of Corrections, provided testimony on the bill noting he does not have any objection to the bill except the requirement of a 24 hour notice. In cases of medical emergencies, there is no way to provide advanced notice. He further noted that he and his staff have already tightened up the extension of limits of confinement (ELOC). Depending on the level of confinement, inmates may leave the facility escorted by officers andlor in shackles. The b ~ l does not distinguish the level of incarceration from minimum to maximum security.

Chairman Salas noted the need to establish certain community standards for public safety. The temporary release of an inmate from the insttution is not intended to be used for such things as shopping trips to the mall, visits to a girlfriend, or other frivolous excursions. The Director should keep in mind in exel.cising the enormous discretion entrusted to him by statute is the safety of the citizenry and not the accommodation of the inmate's wishes.

Senator Pangelinan agreed with the Director in that if there is a person in the halfway house who regularly leaves unescorted for work, it does not make sense to now require that same person to be escorted to a funeral or other function outside of DOC.

Director Sablan also noted that the Department is establishing new rules and regulation on ELOC to take into account informing the public as well as securing approval of the leave.

Chairman Salas noted that while new rules and regulations are appropriate and welcome, these rules are not law. Not following the department' s rules and regulations is merely a "violation" and not punishable as a criminal offense, and therefore weak and meaningless. Bill 241 will mandate by statute minimum standards arid ensure that there is no discretionary power regarding the condition that an inmate may leave DOC facilities.

V. CO.\I\IITTEE FINDIK(;S & I<k:CO\IRIENDATION The Committee Legal Counsel noted that Bill 241 does not affect inmates that are in the halfway house as it falls under a separate program. Inmates under that program will adhere to rules and regulations specfied for that program.

Contrary to Director Sablan's analysis of the legislation, the bill does not attempt to create the rules by which an inmate participates in the ELOC, only that a minimum condition for leaving the facility is met. The bill only requires that any regulations promulgated by the Department of Corrections have, at the very least, the provision that an inmate is escorted during leave.

Further, Bill 241 does not need to identify classification of inmates as that is the responsibility of the Director of Corrections in establishing ELOC policy.

Regarding the concern of providing notice to the public that an inmate is leaving the facility, a formal notificaton is not always necessary. I f there is no time to provide 24 hours advanced notice, something as simple and as effective as an e-mial message or fax to the appropriate parties would be sufficient. Some sort of notice to the Attorney General's Office, the Guam Police Department, etc., is better than no notice at all.

Therefore, the Committee recommends TO DO PASS Bill 241

MEMORANDUM

TO: Attorney General

VIA: Chief Civil Deputy

Deputy, Solicitors Division

FROM: Assistant Attorney General

SUBJECT: Bill No. 241(LS) "An Act To Amend 9 GCA Section 80.49, Relative To Extension Of Limits Of Confinement of Prisoners By Director Of Corrections; Adding New Provisions"

Buenas yan Hafa Adai!

Bill No. 241 proposes an amendment to current 9 GCA Section 80.49 which provides the Director of Correction with the authority to extend the limits of confinement of individuals within his custody.

Review of Bill No. 241 reflects legislative concern that certain prisoner(s) were permitted to leave the premises of the Department of Corrections for reasons such as marriage, etc. The prisoner(s) were allowed to wear civilian clothing and the escorts did not wear uniforms. Also, they rode in a privately owned vehicles. The current statute 9 GCA Section 80.49 neither provides for such extension of limits of confinement, nor under such ideal conditions. The media reported these violations and there was a public perception that the integrity of public safety was compromised. These are legitimate concerns.

It i s my conclusion that Bill No. 241 specifies the applicable conditions which the Director of Corrections can extend the limits of confinement for ~r isoners entrusted to his custody. There are only minor changes such as:

1

"Section 80.49 Extension of Limits of Confinementfor Humanitarian Reasons.

a) The Director of Corrections may extend the limits of the place of confinement of a prisoner entrusted to his custody when there is reasonable cause to believe he will honor his trust; by authorizing him, under prescribed conditions, which shall include close supervision at all times bv one or more armed escorts, and twentv-four (24) hour written notice to the Attorney General or Chief Prosecutor, the Superior Court, and the Guam Police Department, to visit a specifically designated place or places for a period not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours and return to the institution. An extension of limits may be granted only to permit a visit to a dying relative, attendance at the funeral of a relative, the obtaining of necessary medical services not otherwise available, or for any other equally compelling reason consistent with the public interest and s a f e k .

(b) An escape from supervision durintl an extension of limits period is punishable as a felonv escape under 9 GCA Chapter 58."

The underlined portions of the applicable sections are the significant changes being proposed in Bill No. 241. There is concern that requiring twenty-four (24) hours prior written notification to the Attorney General or Chief Prosecutor, the Superior Court, and the Guam Police Department prior to effecting the extension of limits of confinement for a particular prisoner could jeopardize the health and safety of a prisoner. For example, if there is an emergency medical condition which threatens the life of a prisoner, and the medical condition only surfaced within either the past several minutes, or few hours, it would be impractical to send written notification and wait for twenty four (24) hours before the prisoner was removed from the Department of Corrections facilities for necessary medical care. The prisoner might die i f emergency medical care was not immediately provided to himlher. I recommend that under paragraph (a) above that the following sentence be added to this paragraph: L

"The twentv-four (24) hour prior written notification to the Attornev General or Chief Prosecutor. the Superior Court, and the Guam Police Department. shall be waived in the event of an emerqencv which threatens the health and safetv of a prisoner. In the event o f such an emeraencv, the Director of Corrections mav resolve the emerqencv and notify in writinq the Attorney General or Chief Prosecutor. the Suwerior Court, and the Guam Police Department as soon as possible, but no later than twenty-four (241 hours after the prisoner was initially removed from the confines of the Department of Corrections."

Assuming the above is adopted, I recommend passage of Bill No. 241(LS). The legislation with suggested changes enhances the integrity of public safety and assures stringent conditions for the extension of limits of confinement.

If there are any questions, please let me know.

With thanks in anticipation of your consideration of the above.
