Judge <br />Smith suggested this be changed to read "determine and recommend <br />to the presiding judge which inmates, if any, must be released or <br />transferred to another program." He clarified that presiding <br />judge would refer to the judge who sentenced that particular <br />criminal, and Judge Vocelle explained that some inmates can be <br />released to work programs, etc., rather than actually released; <br />he commended the Board for appointing a County Probation Officer. <br />Attorney Vitunac stated that he had not realized the Judges <br />wanted the final say, but he would be glad to make that change. <br />80 <br />
