We are pleased to present the Kent County Correctional Facility’s Annual Statistical
Report for the year 2021. Assembling these yearly reports of jail data began in 1998, and each
new report adds to the long-term analytical value of the information collected. Our goal is to
provide accurate, useful, interesting, and representative information to the Sheriff’s Department
staff, criminal justice planners, academics and community members who are interested in the
operation of the county jail.
Beginning in March of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic brought significant changes to our
operations, and this continued throughout 2021. The inmate population was again much lower
than normal, but slowly began to rise as the year progressed. Our Community Re-entry Center
remained closed for most of the year, and our population was again weighted toward more
serious offenders. This was exacerbated by the necessity to hold sentenced State DOC offenders
for much longer periods of time due to the prison system enacting moratoriums on accepting new
admissions. The stresses of incarceration, aggravated by stringent Covid quarantine guidelines
and safety practices (which were far more prolific in 2021 than in 2020), no doubt contributed to
the spike in violent behavior by inmates this year, seen most clearly in the number of fights and
assaults. This may also be reflective of the rising violent crime rates nationally.
This report is organized to make the information accessible to the readers. You will
notice that it has three general types of statistics. Inmate profile statistics depict an overall
profile of the inmate population and correctional facility staff. Inmate population and arrest
statistics address the topics of how many inmates are coming in, where they are coming from,
why they are here, how long are they staying, care that is provided, and some of the costs
associated with them. Incident statistics allow us to evaluate the behavior of the inmate
population while they are in jail.
For convenience, this report, along with previous years, may also be accessed at
https://www.accesskent.com/Sheriff/reports.htm. Due to the never-ending task of error detection
and correction, when comparing previous editions this update should be considered the most
accurate. I realize that this document will not answer every question. If you have further
questions, please contact us and we will try to provide any additional information you may need
about the inmate population or facility operation. We value your comments and suggestions for
future reports.

Finally, a both humorous and humbling reminder: “Definition of Statistics: The science
of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.” – Evan Esar

TrendSpotter! We have provided this kind of inmate profile information for many years and the
tables point out some interesting differences and similarities. Those in their 20's and 30's account for 65% of
all admissions. Once they reach their 40's there is a significant drop.

TrendSpotter! While collecting inmate profile data each year has its own utility, this chart
demonstrates how some things can only be detected over much longer periods of time. As can be
seen, the marriage rate of males coming into the jail was relatively stable until about 2005, and then
began a steady overall decline over the next 15+ years. This mirrors societal trends (especially among
those demographic groups most represented in jail) as well as informing us that unmarried males are
much more likely to be arrested.

MONTH 2020 & 2021

TrendSpotter! The average monthly population of the jail was often over 1100 in 2018 and 2019, and this chart
shows the drastic decrease from those numbers beginning in March of 2020 resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. 2021
witnessed those numbers begin their slow climb back. Starting in November of 2021 however, this was arrested by a
resurgence of Covid-19. We would expect these numbers to resume their return to pre-Covid levels in 2022.

History of Jail Capacity in Kent County (1835 to 1984)
Capacity Levels
Year Description of the Event or Solution
MJ HC WR System
First Kent County Jail consisted of two cells in the corner of the
1835
Courthouse
First jail burns and for the next 10 years inmates are housed in
rented quarters, primarily in a cellar of a building on Canal Street,
1845
with more important inmates being sent to jails in adjourning
counties.
A new Sheriff's residence was built with a wooden structure called
1855 "Kent County Jail House" in the rear. It consisted of heavy planking
with sheet iron sheathing on the inside.

Rising crime and frequency of escapes from the current jail cause
1872 the county to construct a new jail in the "Bastille" style. When it 114
opened in March, it was called the "Prisoner's Paradise."

Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of


1913 Commissioners called the jail a "cheese box" that had "first prize for
being the most hazardous building in Michigan today."
1950 Peak Average Daily Population reaches 162 inmates.
After several failed attempts over 4 decades, voters finally approve
1954
a ballot measure for a new jail.
1958 Original Ball Avenue Jail constructed with a capacity of 240 beds. 240 240
Honor Camp opens with a capacity of 48, bringing us to a total

These graphs were produced by looking at the 10,893 unique offenders arrested in 2021 and counting how many times
they had been in the Kent County Correctional Facility since 1986. The point of producing these graphs side-by-side is to
show the difference in the number of times in jail between the repeat offenders (the recidivists are in the top chart) and the
whole population that includes the lightweights (bottom chart).

TalkingPoint! Of all the people brought to jail, 44% are there for their first, second or third visit. Among the
offenders who came to jail in 2021, there was one inmate who had been in KCCF 147 times! Remember, these numbers
only represent the number of times these offenders were in the Kent County Jail and doesn't include any visits they may
have made to other jails.

Recidivism 21
Recidivism Rate of KCCF Inmates
The previous page examines recidivism by looking at the people in jail or being admitted to jail and looking backwards to see how
many of them have been admitted to the Kent County Correctional Facility in previous years. Another approach to examining
recidivism is examined on this page. This forward looking approach surveys a group of admissions at a point in the past and follows
them in subsequent years to see how many individuals were rebooked after their initial release from the Kent County Correctional
Facility. The information on this page examines inmates booked into the Kent County County Correctional Facility during calendar
year 2014 and then measured what proportion of them were rebooked into the Kent County Correctional Facility through the
remainder of 2014 through the end of 2019. We provided the jail data from those years to Andy Verheek at the Kent County Office of
Community Corrections and he analyzed it for recidivism rates. The results of the analysis are reported on this page.

TalkingPoint! There were a total of 59,605 unique individuals booked into KCCF at least one time over the six year period
from 2014 through 2019. Out of these 59,605 individuals, 26,999 were rebooked (for any reason) into KCCF one or more times
during this same time period. This represents an overall recidivism rate of 45.3%, meaning that 45.3% of the individuals in this
sample were booked into KCCF two or more times. Of the 26,999 offenders booked two or more times into KCCF, females were
admitted an average of 3.7 times and males an average of 4.0 times.

Hispanic 6,710 2,498 37.2%
White 31,542 12,693 40.2%

TalkingPoint! The table above includes people whose first arrest in the time period came in 2014 but also those whose first
arrest was during the years 2015 through 2019, so some of them did not have much elapsed time to be re-arrested. In the table
below we looked at the recidivism rate for ONLY those individuals that were booked into KCCF from January 1, 2014 through
December 31, 2014 and released to the community after their first arrest in 2014. This means that those released to prison, another
facility, or another agency were filtered out of the analysis. Each of the offenders in the remaining population had a minimum of
5 full years to get in trouble with the law again. There were 15,176 individuals booked into KCCF during 2014 and subsequently
released back into the community. Out of these 15,176 offenders, 9,485 were rebooked into KCCF at least once from their initial
booking in 2014 until December 31, 2019. This includes individuals first booked into KCCF in 2014 with their first subsequent
booking occurring in the same year (2014). This equates to a recidivism rate of 62.5%.

Recidivism Since 2014 22


Recidivism Rate of KCCF Inmates
The previous page examines recidivism by looking at individuals booked into KCCF from 2014 through 2019 to see how many
may have been rebooked during that same time frame. This page looks at a group of admissions for a more recent time span of
2019 through 2021. We looked at the overall recidivism rate for this three-year time span as well as recidivism when selecting out
offenders who received a proxy score in 2019. Jail data from these years were analyzed by Andy Verheek at the Kent County
Office of Community Corrections.

TalkingPoint! There were a total of 26,679 unique individuals booked into KCCF at least one time over the three year
period from 2019 through 2021. Using a broad definition of recidivism that looks at rebooking into KCCF for any reason,
including probation and parole violations, 9,597 out of the 26,679 individuals were rebooked at least once during this three year
period. This represents an overall recidivism rate of 36.0%. Of these 9,597 individuals booked two or more times into KCCF,
females were admitted an average of 2.9 times and males an average of 3.1 times. It should be noted that the recidivism rate is
dependant on the specific definition of recidivism utilized at the time of analysis. For example, measuring recidivism for those
with an initial booking event in 2019 and released to the community (meaning that those released to prison, another agency, or
other facility were excluded from the analysis), the resulting recidivism rate would increase to 45.6%.

"Class of 2019 to 2021"


Total Individuals booked at least once Number with at least one
Resulting Recidivism Rate
anytime in 2019 through 2021 subsequent rebooking
All 26,679 9,597 36.0%
Male 19,217 7,391 38.5%
Female 7,462 2,206 29.6%
Black 10,614 4,492 42.3%
Hispanic 2,702 780 28.9%
White 13,604 4,245 32.5%

TalkingPoint! The previous table above examined those individuals whose first arrest occurred during the time period
of 2019 through 2021 and includes a broad definition of recidivism. However, not all offenders booked into the Kent County
Correctional Facility are predicted to recidivate at the same rate. Using a proxy risk assessment instrument that takes into
consideration each individuals age at first offense, prior bookings into jail, and current age, Kent County Correctional Facility
personnel can obtain an initial prediction of those most likely to be rebooked into the facility in the future. This proxy risk score is
instrumental to the establishment and provision programming in the Kent County Correctional Facility. The following table
examines the recidivism rates for those individuals that were booked into KCCF for the first time in 2019 and Jailview had proxy
information for the individuals most likely to be released back into the community meaning that offenders released to prison,
another facility, or other agency were filtered out. There were 5,259 individuals booked into KCCF in 2019 where there was proxy
score information available and were released back into the community. Out of these 5,259 individuals, 3,897 were rebooked into
KCCF at least once for any reason (including parole and probation violations) following their initial booking in 2019 until
December 31, 2021 for an overall recidivism rate of 74.1%. The table below illustrates that the recidivism rates are indeed
different for those offenders scored at a low, medium, or high risk of recidivism based on the proxy risk assessment instrument.

"Class of 2019" - 5,259 individuals booked in 2019 and their rearrests later in 2019 through 2021

Recidivism Info - Including Likelihood of Recidivating

TalkingPoint! Additional information regarding regarding the recidivism of all individuals booked into
KCCF between 2019 and 2021:

An offender with an initial 2019 booking event experienced 38 separate bookings between 2019 and 2021.
Overall, male offenders were rebooked an average of 1.5 times and female offenders were rebooked an
average of 1.2 times.
Black offenders were booked an average of 1.9 times, hispanic offenders were booked an average of 1.5
times, and white offenders were booked an average of 1.6 times.
Average (median) length of time between an offender’s first and second bookings was 147.7 days for male
offenders and 159.6 days for female offenders.
Average (median) length of time between an offender’s first and second bookings was 158.0 days for black
offenders, 156.3 days for Hispanic offenders, and 144.2 days for white offenders.

TalkingPoint! Kent County has continued using an instrument to predict the likelihood that an inmate
booked into KCCF will be rebooked into KCCF at some future date. This "Proxy" instrument divides the inmates
into three levels, with R1's being the least likely to return to jail, R2's being in the middle, and R3's being the most
likely to return to jail. The breakdown of Proxy scores for individuals booked between 2019 and 2021 include -
R1: 13.6% // R2: 52.1% // R3: 34.3%. One of the reasons for this disparity is that the proxy is administered only

Looking at the 661 offenders that received a low category proxy score (R1) from the Recidivism Since 2019
page, male offenders averaged 2.0 bookings while female offenders averaged 2.2 bookings. Looking at the
1,845 offenders that received a high category proxy score (R3) from the same page, the average number of
bookings for male offenders averaged 3.3 bookings while female offenders averaged 3.1 bookings.
Looking at those offenders that received a low category proxy score (R1) from the Recidivism Since 2019
page, black offenders averaged 2.0 bookings, whites averaged 2.1 bookings, and Hispanics averaged 2.0
bookings. Switching to the offenders that received a high category proxy score (R3) from the same page,
the average for black offenders increases to 3.4 bookings, the average for white offenders increases to 3.1
bookings, and the average for Hispanic offenders increases to 2.8 bookings.
Looking at those offenders that received a low category proxy score (R1) from the Recidivism Since 2019
page, the average (median) length of time between an offender’s first and second bookings was 145.4 days
for male offenders and 160.0 days for female offenders. Switching to those offenders receiving a high
category proxy score (R3), the average (median) length of time between an offender's first and second
bookings decreases to 126.4 days for male offenders as well as decreases to 129.4 days for female
offenders.
Looking at those offenders that received a low category proxy score (R1) from the Recidivism Since 2019
page, the average (median) length of time between an offender’s first and second bookings was 190.4 days
for black offenders, 166.0 days for Hispanic offenders, and 142.9 days for white offenders. Switching to
those offenders receiving a high category proxy score (R3), the average (median) length of time between
an offender's first and second bookings decreases to 124.6 days for black offenders, 132.1 days for white
offenders, and 128.5 days for Hispanic offenders.

TrendSpotter! The peak for Grand Rapids, Kent County and Wyoming was in 2003 (not shown on this chart).
Due to Covid-19, all agencies experienced significant decreases in arrests for 2020, which leveled off and then began to
increase again in 2021.

MJ-related Arrests Total Bookings:

TalkingPoint! Marijuana was legalized in


Michigan with the passage of Proposal 1 in November
of 2018 and so 2019 was the 1st full year of arrests
under the new law. Unfortunately for tracking, the 2020
and 2021 numbers were significantly effected by Covid-
19 on arrests (particularly among the lower level
arrests). In addition, it should be noted that often a
marijuana-related charge may be just one of several
charges that an inmate is booked on, meaning that even
were the MJ charge not present, the person may have
been arrested anyway. This chart shows MJ-related
arrests presented against the backdrop of our total
bookings for the year in question to help place them in
context. It would seem that Proposal 1 has had at least
some small effect on our arrest and population
numbers, though to what extent it is still too early to tell.

The above chart shows the top home address zip codes of arrestees for 2021. The green arrows show zip
codes that went down in number from 2020, while the red arrows show those zip codes that saw an
increase from 2020. Due to Covid, every zip code witnessed a decrease in arrests during 2020, which led
to the increase in most zip codes for 2021.

length of stay depicted as Jail Bed Days. Jail Bed Days are an
1 1872
accurate way of displaying the actual impact on jail beds, because
2 to 4 1519
it is counting the days that a jail bed is occupied. The chart above
shows that although we had 5,522 people who stayed less than 5 to 15 1239
one day in jail, they used far fewer jail beds than the 1,239 inmates 16 to 30 683
who stayed 5 to 15 days in jail. In fact, the 131 inmates who 31 to 60 391
stayed 121 to 150 days used the most jail beds. The primary 61 to 90 219
takeaway of these data is that the greatest impact on jail capacity 91 to 120 125
would be achieved by concentrating our efforts on reducing the 121 to 150 131
stay of the inmates who are in jail from one to five months. It is that 151 to 180 53
group of inmates who are using most of the jail's beds. Departures 181 to 210 47
from normal numbers this year are due to both the reduced 211 to 240 33
numbers of low-level offenders on one end, and the increased 241 to 270 30
length of stay of those inmates awaiting court and those sentenced 271 to 300 20

TalkingPoint! In 2021, approximately 89% of the inmates who came into our
jail were released directly back into the community. This chart is based on a sample
of almost 12,000 records in 2021. Only about 11% were sent to prison or to another
agency. Hard data is not available on that 11%, but most of those inmates also
return to our community at some point. It is important to remember that resources
devoted to local jail inmates benefit our local communities.

County Jail Reimbursement Program
Fiscal Year 2021 Update by Andy VerHeek
CJRP reimbursement and eligibility criteria continued in the same manner during FY 2021 that were implemented
in previous fiscal years. The table below shows that Kent County experienced a significant decrease in the amout
of funds received through CJRP from $1,194,180 in FY 2020 to $760,000 during FY 2021.

Reimbursement and eligibility criteria for CJRP continue to include:

1. All counties in Michigan are required to follow the same eligibility and reimbursement criteria.

2. Three different reimbursement amounts are provided and depend upon each offender's sentencing guideline
score and type of offense.

3. Save for a few select offenses, a majority of Crime Class F offenses have remained ineligible for reimbursement
during FY 2021.

In addition to these changes, CJRP monies received by Kent County are impacted by the length of stay in the Kent
County Correctional Facility for each offender as well as the jail disposition rate for CJRP-eligible offenders
sentenced in Kent County. Both of these were significantly impacted by the ongoing COVID pandemic in FY 2020
and FY 2021.

 TalkingPoint! With fluctuations in the jail population, converting Incident Based data to the number of rule violations
committed per 1000 Jail Bed Days gives a more accurate picture of inmate behavior. 2021 witnessed a significant increase in this
behavioral metric. It is impossible to know the reasons for this, but ongoing widespread Covid effects on the population to include
general anxiety, restrictions on inmate routines and continual atypical changes in classficiation housing assignments may contribute.
We will watch this with interest as the impact of Covid hopefully wanes in 2022.

These graphs show the number of Category 1, 2, and 3 reports per year over the last
decade. We have three levels of disciplinary rule violations in the jail. The most minor rule
violations are Category 1 violations. Category 2 violations are more serious and Category
3 violations are the most serious. Our disciplinary philosophy is that we would rather deal
with an inmate's misbehavior while it is still minor, which is why there are more Category 1
violations than 2's, and more 2's than 3's. Inmates committing Category 2 and 3 violations
go to the jail's Disciplinary Restrictive Unit (DRU) to complete their disciplinary sanctions.

Each of the inmate rule violations is identified as targeting one of five types
of unwanted inmate behavior. Grouping the violations like this and
considering the totals of each group provides us with an index used to
determine what types of behavior can best be controlled by the kinds of
sanctions we have available to us. This page shows the violations which are
considered to be violent behavior.

Talking Point! Inmates guilty of assault are 2x more likely than the
general population to be going through withdrawal, experiencing mental
health problems, be case managed in the community, or have previous
assaultive history in the jail.

"Antisocial" acts "Destructive" acts "Noncompliant" acts "Security Related" "Violent" behavior

This chart shows all five of the inmate behavior index's and how they performed over the last 15 years. This is a
compilation of the data used in the previous five charts. Each category showed significant variation over this period.
Recent factors that may influence these trends include the high number of new and relatively inexperienced staff and
several factors stemming from the Covid pandemic.

on suicide precaution
Our highest level of suicide precaution places inmates in a cell under constant video surveillance. We track how inmates get
placed on that level of observation. Either they have made a suicide attempt or gesture, or they have made a suicidal threat
to a staff person, or they have been judged to be suicidal following an interview by one of our mental health professionals.
The chart above depicts the total number of "S-3's" (the highest level of precaution) and of that number, the number that
were declared S-3's because of an actual in-progress attempt to harm themselves, either by hanging, an overdose, cutting
themselves, jumping from a height, drowning in a toilet, banging their head, or some other means. Despite a rising but still
lower than usual population, the number of inmates placed on S-3 status was significantly higher in 2021.

TalkingPoint! Our old linear jail was replaced and demolished in Dec. of 2012. 61% of our fights in 2020 occurred in
non-full-direct supervision housing. It should be noted that due to Covid, there were significant changes in inmate classification
demographics and operational housing unit distribution again in 2021, more even than in 2020.

These tables present some of the information that is gathered by the jail staff
on particular crimes committed in the community. Corrections Officers play a
significant role in assisting law enforcement with criminal intelligence. This
information helps local police agencies identify suspects, which in many
cases has led to their arrest and conviction. The KCCF has 2 dedicated Jail
Intelligence Unit (JIU) officers who are responsible for the follow-up on all
generated intelligence reports, as well as acting as contact points for outside
agencies. This has been very successful in streamlining and enhancing the
effectiveness of intelligence-gathering efforts.

Until recent years, Jail staff were an underutilized resource for the photo
identification of suspects. Due to the facts that most suspects are repeat
offenders and that jail staff know them well, since 2013 there has been a
renewed emphasis on using this resource, with predictably successful
outcomes. Some of the disparity in numbers of identifications recorded from
year to year can be explained by the level of follow-up on identification
submissions.

SALLY-N (no use of force) SALLY-F (force utilized)

It has always been a custom of the


KCCF to provide a courtesy service to
arresting agencies who call ahead and
request assistance with uncooperative
arrestees. When notified, our intake
staff will meet the arresting agency in
the jail sally port and retrieve the
suspect directly from the agency
vehicle and escort them into our
facility. The information on this page
provides an important window into this
particular activity. We began officially
tracking these numbers in April of
2015, so the data for that year is
partial. What we are interested in is
how often these events result in a use
of force versus how often our staff are
able to de-escalate tense situations
without resorting to the use of force.
The numbers on this page are a credit
to the skill and professionalism of our
correctional intake staff in dealing with
the most difficult individuals at one of
their most stressful moments – arrival
at the jail.

were reduced again in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic. The K-9 Unit consisted of 3 dogs in 2021 until July,
when Dep. Gonzalez and K-9 Shadow retired. They are a huge help in the continuing effort to keep our
facility both safe and drug-free!

TalkingPoint! Every offender brought to


jail is evaluated by both a medical and mental
health professional while still in Intake. The
answers to the mental health survey questions
they are asked are summarized above. The data
in this table is based on around 13,000 offenders
who came to jail during 2021. Mental Health
services are an ever-increasing part of inmate
management in the jail, and must be taken into
consideration at almost every significant event in
an offender's stay; from intake, to classification, to
discipline, to release. It should be noted that the
data in these screenings do rely on self-reported
information, so numbers such as those for bi-
polar diagnosis and psychiatric hospital treatment
are interesting.

Sexual Abuse Incident Review

Closing
In 2012, the jail implemented the Sexual Abuse Incident Review system per PREA
standard 115.86. Under this standard, the Division must conduct a sexual abuse
incident review at the conclusion of every sexual abuse investigation, to include
when the allegation has not been substantiated, unless the allegation has been
determined to be unfounded. Such review will ordinarily occur within 30 days of the
conclusion of the investigation. The review team will include upper-level
management officials, with input from line supervisors, investigators, and medical or
mental health practitioners. The jail administration will implement any
recommendations for improvement, or it will document its reasons for not doing so.

Review Criteria:

1. Consider whether the allegation or investigation indicates a need to


change policy or practices to better prevent, detect, or respond to
sexual abuse
2. Consider whether the alleged incident was motivated by race; ethnicity;
gender identity; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex
identification, status, or perceived status; or gang affiliation; or was
motivated or otherwise caused by other group dynamics in the facility.
3. Examine the area in the facility where the allegation occurred to assess
whether physical barriers in the area may enable abuse.
4. Assess the adequacy of staffing levels in on all shifts in that area.
5. Assess whether monitoring technology should be deployed or
augmented to supplement supervision by staff.
6. Prepare a report of its findings, add any recommendations for
improvement, and submit such report to the facility head and PREA
Coordinator.

In all of the allegations that were reviewed, it was clear that staff have
implemented training that has been occurring since PREA requirements. All
investigations were done in a timely manner and all complaints were addressed
immediately upon their receipt. Continued training for all staff has focused on PREA
requirements, staff obligations for reporting and victim care, and preservation and
protection of the scene until the appropriate steps can be taken to collect any
evidence. Additionally, a new reporting system (jail management system) is being
implemented to better track and report incidents.

A Special Thanks to the KCCF PREA Coordinator Lt. Scott Nibbelink, who provided
the information on the previous page.
