PHASE II

Phase II is the transitional phase. The length of this phase is 120-240 days. It is an intensive supervised phase. This phase is the 24/7 community supervision model.

Court overview will occur at least once every other month. The YAC team will conduct case reviews every other week. The case review team will consist of representatives from the County Attorney’s Office, Douglas County Department of Corrections, State Probation, Public Defender’s Office, Douglas County Drug Court, and Douglas County District Court Mediation Services. A Mentoring Coordinator will provide services. If the defendant requires treatment services, Drug Court and Probation will collaborate to provide those services.

During this period the defendant will:

• Be released into the community at an approved address under electronic monitoring for 90 days provided by probation at a rate of $5 per day.
• Be under a curfew.
• Be involved in any treatment identified by the Drug Court.
• Be employed full time or involved in the work offender program at a minimum of 20 hours per week.
• Participate in Victim Offender Mediation.
• Be assigned a mentor and maintain contact 2 or more times per week.
• Maintain field and office contact with the probation officer 2 times per week.

Prior to reduction of the original charge in this phase, a case plan will be updated and completed by the team to address the defendant’s remaining treatment. Upon the successful completion of Phase II and recommendation of the YAC team, the defendant is eligible to apply to the Court, whereby the plea is withdrawn and the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor. The defendant is sentenced to probation and moves on to Phase III. In certain instances the charge could be dismissed after completion of Phase II under the discretion of the County Attorney or assigned designate.
