Energy Efficiency Utility: separate companies should seek to increase
& decrease sale of electricity. There is an inherent conflict
between a utility making profit by selling electricity and the same
utility offering rebates to customers who decrease their energy bills.
The utility makes money by appearing to support but actually
undermining energy efficiencies. Therefore Hawaii transferred energy
efficiency programs from HECO to a new Energy Efficiency Utility called
Hawaii Energy.

Poamoho: A Gated Agricultural Subdivision: A parcel of land with
fantastic views was developed for use by farmers. The site is mauka of
Waialua on Kaukonahua Road. Agricultural zoning (narrow streets, above
ground electric lines) was approved. Homeowners enjoy paying lower
property taxes. The loss revenue is paid for by other residents because
it is in the public interest to be agriculturally self-sufficient. The
majority of landowners impeded real agriculture. The community became a
gated subdivision. The City and County of Honolulu took the position
that if agriculturally-zoned land of one acre or more is fenced and if
a horse eats the grass one day a year, then the property is being used
as a farm and the owner is entitled to lower property taxes.

Carrie Ann Shirota. Soros Justice Fellowships 2009 Maui Economic
Opportunity, Inc. Over the last 15 years, the State of Hawaii has
dramatically increased the practice of transferring its prison
population to prisons on the American continent. This practice severs
family ties, disconnects Hawaiians from cultural traditions, gives rise
to prison gangs, and exacerbates challenges associated with community
reintegration. Carrie Ann Shirota will work to mitigate and reduce the
transfer of incarcerated Hawaiians to mainland prisons thousands of
miles away. Shirota will collect data relating to out-of-state prisoner
transfers and assess strategies employed in other U.S. jurisdictions
that have reduced this practice. She will also examine native
imprisonment and banishment within the U.S., with particular emphasis
on how this problem impacts Native Hawaiians. Carrie Ann Shirota is an
attorney and justice advocate on the island of Maui. She earned her
undergraduate degree from Santa Clara University and JD from the
University of Hawaii. Previously, Shirota worked as an enforcement
attorney for the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission, as a public defender,
and as the director of Maui Economic Opportunity's Being Empowered and
Safe Reintegration Program. She is actively involved with Community
Alliance on Prisons, a grassroots organization dedicated to improving
the conditions of confinement for incarcerated individuals and
advocating for alternatives to incarceration.

Steve Alm was sworn in as a First Circuit judge on May 14, 2001. He is
currently assigned to the felony Criminal Division. Judge Alm currently
chairs the Corrections Population Management Commission and is a
co-chair of the Interagency Council on Intermediate Sanctions. In 2004,
Judge Alm brought together stakeholders to design and implement HOPE
Probation (Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement). The
program, the first and only of its kind in the nation, relies on
high-intensity supervision to reduce probation violations by drug
offenders and others at high risk of recidivism. Prior to his judicial
appointment, Judge Alm served as the United States Attorney for the
District of Hawai`i from November 1994 until April 2001. During his
tenure, the United State’s Attorney’s Office focused on political
corruption, labor racketeering and drug trafficking offenses, and
started the very successful Weed and Seed program. Judge Alm made
federal, state and local cooperation and coordination his top priority.
From 1985 to 1994, Judge Alm served as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for
the City and County of Honolulu. During that time, he served as a
Felony Team Supervisor and as Director of the District and Family Court
division and personally handled complex homicide cases. Judge Alm
worked as a Westlaw Editor for West Publishing Company from 1983-1985.
Judge Alm received his law degree from the University of the Pacific’s
McGeorge School of Law in 1983 and his Master’s degree in Education
from the University of Oregon in 1979. Unlocking Justice Conference

established in 1899 as Associated Charities. Since then, it has evolved
into the largest private provider of human services in the state.
Locally based and locally run, CFS is often confused with Child
