Notice this email was never sent to Sharon I wonder why. Also I must add that, that has got to be the NICEST email her employees ever received from Nancy. In classic Nancy fashion she emails everyone her sob story. She hates Sheriff Rainey with a passion and everyone around her knows this. Thus the comment about them running probation instead of the sheriffs office.
As for allowing her to be the director well she would then have to actually work 5 days a week I don’t think this has EVER been done.
Guardian I so appreciate all you have done to expose her. Both the statesman and news stations are aware of your articles. Thanks.

One more point! It is interesting that she did not include Sharon Ullman in her E-mail to Vern and Rick. It appears the relationship between these three is quite cozy.

Thing is we took in enough PROOF to warrant an investigation however they decided to just not let her renew her contract. What is that sayin? Hmmmmm PROOF!!

Nancy just do us all a BIG favor for the sake of your staff,offenders and the community RETIRE!!!

While it’s wonderful to hear that the contract will no longer belong to Nancy Cladis after next year, it is concerning to know that while the commissioners had enough info and evidence to take it away from her, they will allow it to continue for another year. That’s thousands of offenders still at the behest of her reign, and employees who are still being asked to cover criminal misconduct and unethical practices. I would love to hear from Vern and Rick to explain that, as it’s apparent Sharon Ullman is clearly on her own in this matter.

I was on supervised probation for a non alcohol non drug offense. I was placed on color code and told that if I missed a drug test I would be in violation of my probation. I am on SSI and only make less than $400 per month. The Judge granted me a public deffender because I could he found I was indigent. My public deffender told me that the probation department has the ability to waive fees for people that are on a fixed income the Judge also wrote it on my paper work that my fees would be waived. After my first probation meeting I was told by my probation officer that she checked with her director and it was denied because I smoke cigarettes and if I can afford those than I can afford to pay for probation and that I need to quit smoking to pay for my probation fees and UA’s. I was also placed into a “group” against my wishes. I was told that I will be in this group once a month and I will no longer have one on one meetings. So of course I had to go along with it what else can I do. The group was like a cattle call we all had to line up and hand in our $50,then proceed to talk about things I had no business talking about with others such as my medical diagnosis as well as others. My Dr put me on a antidepressant so I could at least make it through this and I was forced to talk about it with everyone in this group!!!! HOW DEGRADING!!!!I had to sit and listen to very private things that these other women also did not really want to share with everyone!! It is nice to hear that someone is doing something about this. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Thank you, Boise Guardian, for shining the light on a topic too controversial for the Boise Weekly or Idaho Statesman to cover. I appreciate Sharon Ullman’s input and will remember the good ole boys Yzaguirre and Bisterfeldt come election day.

Probation is a government function and should never have been oontracted-out. Same goes for prisons.

There are so many good things happening on a daily basis at ACMPS that FAR outweigh the things that any disgruntled ex-employees and/or probationers have to say. People are changing their lives and getting help for their addictions. They are gaining access to recovery resources that would have otherwise never been received. Maybe you all should stop focusing on Nancy Cladis and grow up.

Overheard at the commish meeting.
“OK Nancy, the heat is on because of that pain in the butt Guardian. So, the party is over. In exchange for you keeping your mouth shut, we will give you one more year to screw the probationers and their families, but it is over after that” “It is the best I can do”
OK, maybe I didn’t really overhear that, but the circumstances justify it as much as any other theory.

Really? All of this is happening due to disgruntled employees and probationers? I don’t think so. A major investigation was done on Nancy a lot came out of it including this new law suit.I am curious as to what is going to happen with this lawsuit out now.

Karma,

Even though there was a POS machine for processing credit cards and debit cards at the front desk, my PO pressured me to always pay in CASH. Even though I like to use my plastic as a financial mgmt tool, and they had the ability to accept such payments, I knew that I didn’t want to upset my PO and always had to do everything possible to keep my PO happy. After all, I didn’t want a probation violation.

It really is an atmosphere of intimidation, rather than support.

Fee’s

Were you trying to run it as a credit card? if so no wonder you wernt allowed. I was on probation for 18 months and was never once told I could not pay with a debit cardas a matter of fact I think I only paid cash once or twice and my PO, Nancy was never the one who took my payment it was always the receptionist

Did the contact get signed for another year??

EDITOR NOTE–Due to the media attention and the lawsuit, commishes decided to table the motion, but October 18 they passed it.

Probation and Parole putting people on color code for non alcohol and drug violations is rediculous, also if it’s a violation of alcohol test for that not everything else 3x a week, the cost of being on Probation/Parole along with UA’s no wonder people get PV’d who could afford that? PP telling people they have to take a year long class at 20 a week when they’re probation ends in two months? Seriously? Nancy should be let go at the end of the contract and not be allowed to stay on for another year until retirement. When you tell your staff that unsupervised probation shouldn’t ever be an option, (because they don’t get the 50-60-) or whatever they are charging now a month and can’t color code someone… I’m tired of watching people on Probation fail, becuase the cost is way too much. Making someone be on a alcohol monitor at a cost of 400 month up front or you get a PV is absolutly unacceptable!!!!!! Revamp the whole system ….

Instead of continuing to talk about it, we need to take action.
These commishes dont expect us to do anything but talk about it.
Lets do something real.

I propose a full display of disapproval. Picketing at ACMPS and at city hall, and at the court house. The week of 10-23 – 10-29

Comment if you agree and lets get organized. Everyone here is right and in agreement. What they are doing is ilegal. Lets hold them accountable.

hahahaha on what Nancy said on restructuring….one of the PO’s just got caught for stealing money….

You have a great group of people…. hahahaha, UA’s come back with a trace of THC from being around it and not smoking it!!!, and your office put in a warrant (2) for 5000 bond each!!!
Your office is REDICULOUS!!!!
and MIP has cost over $5000.00 for a year of supervised probation…
SHAMEFUL..
I know people on FELONY probation who don’t even get UA’s as much as Misdemeanor Probation… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

Nancy GO AWAY… You and your staff are awful!
