    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

  • Annual Report 2003-2004
    PROBATION DEPARTMENT Larry R. Price Chief Probation Officer September 30, 2004 The People of Fresno County The Honorable Brad R. Hill, Presiding Judge, California Superior Court, Fresno County The Honorable Denise Whitehead, Presiding Judge, Juvenile Delinquency Court Supervisor Susan B. Anderson, Chair, Fresno County Board of Supervisors Bart Bohn, County Administrative Officer Ruby Hefley, Chair, Juvenile Justice Commission We submit the Fresno County Probation Department's Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2004. The contents of the Annual Report cover all operational components of the Department. The budget is complex, dependent on federal, state, county, and some city money. The agency currently operates on approximately 59% of General Fund money from the tax base of Fresno County government. This is up from only 42% of General Fund money five years ago. With the demand for more capacity to incarcerate youth, our institutions budgets are going up while probation budgets are going down. The management infrastructure of the department is very lean and needs a reexamination soon. The ability to supervise adult offenders in the community is not keeping up with the growth while the institutions are well staffed. A 480-bed Juvenile Justice Campus is under construction, on time and on budget, with an opening scheduled in the spring of 2006. Our Continuum of Sanctions includes prevention, intervention, community based supervision of offenders, and incarceration with treatment. We will not forget the importance of service to victims and we will continue to look for innovative concepts that will make the system better and more cost effective. A component that needs priority is restorative justice.
