Operating Budget Addenda (in order of greatest impact)
•
Eliminate inmate telephone commissions and administrative charges Decision Package
  Eliminates from the general fund revenue estimate the revenue from charges on inmate telephone calls and provides the agency funding to pay the costs of security equipment associated with the inmate telephone system, thereby lowering the rate that inmates and their families have to pay for phone calls, effective December 1, 2015. The lower rates could result in more frequent contact with family members, which is important in helping inmates adjust to prison and is a factor in reducing recidivism.

General Fund $0 $833,333
•
Begin assembling staff to open Culpeper Correctional Center for Women Decision Package
  Provides funding to begin hiring and training a core group of staff in anticipation of opening the Culpeper Correctional Center for Women in January 2017. Expanding the female bed capacity of the agency will help relieve the back-up of state responsible female inmates in local jails.

•
Provide funding to support increases in offender medical costs Decision Package
  Increases funding for the provision of medical services to inmates. The funding provided is based on the projected cost of the Department of Corrections providing medical services at all institutions with its own staff and contracting for part-time physicians or for offsite medical costs. The increase is based on the estimated cost of for the agency to be competitive in medical services labor market, as well as on the projected increases in the costs for inpatient and outpatient care, pharmaceutical drugs, and other medical services. Factored into the funding is a decrease of $400,000 and five positions provided in the 2015 Session to help the agency make the transition from using comprehensive medical services contracts in many facilities to using its own personnel. The agency has selected to use comprehensive contracts and thus does not need the positions and the funding associated with them.
