Board meetings and strategic plans from Vermont Department of Corrections
The meeting commenced with introductions of attendees, including a substitute representative for Charlie Glyman. Key discussions focused on updates regarding collaboration work groups between the Department of Corrections (DOC) and VINE, specifically addressing technical issues related to coding. The group plans to discuss the rollout strategy for changes concerning earn time notification next week. A major topic was the communication strategy for notifying registered individuals about the cessation of two notifications (out to court notification and facility to facility transfers) and updates related to earn time notification language. Participants requested a formal written memorandum containing the finalized language for statewide distribution. The task force also discussed the creation of a comprehensive chart detailing the lifecycle of a case through various system intercepts, with attendees agreeing to funnel relevant documents and input to designated leads for compilation into a draft visual model. Finally, there was a discussion regarding the legislative expectation for a more transparent agreement between the State's Attorney's Office and DOC, with emphasis on determining which partner entities should formally sign the agreement.
The meeting focused on administrative matters and extensive discussions regarding internal coordination and communication protocols, particularly concerning victim notification processes (VINES). Key topics included the approval of minutes from the August 20th meeting. A significant portion of the discussion centered on recent changes to VINES notifications regarding offender transfers between facilities and transfers to court appearances, highlighting the negative impact these changes had on victims when coordination was lacking. Participants agreed on the need to formalize communication of such changes, potentially through the Memorandum of Law Enforcement Understanding (MLOU), to ensure victim advocates and relevant parties are proactively informed rather than learning reactively. There was also a commitment to developing foundational documentation outlining current processes and identifying areas where coordination with the judiciary needs improvement. A discussion regarding a potential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DOC and DCF for information sharing was also noted.
The meeting focused on reviewing and amending the minutes, requiring updates to reflect voting members and public attendees. Key discussions revolved around the 'life of a case chart' development, with progress being made by incorporating edits via email due to scheduling difficulties, aiming for final agreement by the 15th. Updates were provided on ongoing work, including parole notification processes and technical system remapping by Vine. Participants investigated data structure issues related to providing parole data to Vine and discussed the implementation of a resource guide and training documents, including seeking resources from Tracy. Further discussion centered on language accessibility for notifications, including cost breakdowns for incorporating various languages into the Vine system versus using internal translation services. There was also a report on challenges observed in the field regarding Police Officers (POs) lacking necessary contact information for victims and survivors, leading to low engagement numbers, and a discussion about resource capacity constraints for Victim Services Supervisors (VSSs) to assist with direct victim contact regarding DVAP programs.
