Substantial Benefits to Judges and the Court System
Our programs have a substantial impact on the system. Under our Delayed Entry Of Judgment (DEJ) program, the Judge refers the defendants to the program, which is later in the process than under the DOC format. However, the savings are still substantial. When you consider that it takes approximately $6,000 a day to operate a courtroom. This includes all the required court personnel's wages. Anything that can be done to shorten their workdays and /or reduce the number of appearances by the defendant in the courtroom saves money. Also, the Judge can feel much better about giving the first-time offender, who may have made a stupid mistake, an opportunity to learn from their mistake rather than convicting the defendant which narrows their employment opportunities along with other immensely negative impacts that a criminal record has on a person's life, as well as the community.

Our Deferral Of Charges (DOC) program would have the most significant impact, maximizing savings to the system. Under this format, our program receives the case at the earliest opportunity. The major savings would come in the form of saved man-hours in the court room to prosecute these minor misdemeanor crimes. Now, the prosecutors can more effectively focus on the more serious crimes. Furthermore, instead of the prosecutor approaching the board for more funds so that new attorney's may be hired ($40-$50,000 to start per year) to deal with the ever increasing work loads, he or she can more effectively deal with the case loads and redistribute those funds for more appropriate purposes.
