Budget Highlights |
The Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) is responsible for the operation of 70 correctional facilities and the supervision of an under-custody population of approximately 65,000 inmates who have been sentenced to a term of incarceration which is greater than one year. |
The Executive proposes an All Funds appropriation of $2,281,259,000 State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2004-05, which represents an increase of $14,764,000 or 0.7 percent from SFY 2003-04 appropriation levels. |
The Department is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill. |
State Operations |
The SFY 2003-04 adjusted appropriation includes a recommended deficiency appropriation of $54,500,000 to support unanticipated increases in General Fund spending as follows: |
|
|
The Executive proposes to decrease General Fund spending by $7,064,000 due to anticipated declines in the under-custody population during in SFY 2004-05. These reductions are comprised of the following: |
|
|
|
These savings are offset by an addition of $6,330,000 in General Fund support for expanded mental health initiatives that are being created in conjunction with the Office of Mental Health (OMH). While details of these initiatives are not yet available, the Executive anticipates that SFY 2004-05 appropriations for this purpose will comprise half of total funds needed. The Executive projects that these new initiatives will ultimately require the allocation of 200 FTEs and approximately $12,000,000 in support annually. |
General fund savings are also offset by an increase of $932,000 to reflect the actual cost of continuing current programming and to make other salary and fixed cost adjustments. |
The Executive proposes to eliminate through attrition 12 FTE positions in the Correctional Industries Program. These positions are financed through the sale of goods produced by inmates. |
In SFY 2004-05 the Executive proposes new appropriations of $15,650,000 for the following initiatives: |
|
|
|
Aid To Localities |
The Executive recommends a General Fund Aid to Localities appropriation of $11,400,000 for reimbursement to localities for the care of State-ready inmates and inmates who await coram nobis proceedings. This represents no change from SFY 2003-04. |
Capital Projects |
The Executive recommends a Capital appropriation of $205,000,000 for the ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation of existing correctional facilities. |
