SB x3 18 Press Announcement

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) on January 25, 2010 will launch, as required by a new law, public safety reforms to encourage inmates to complete rehabilitation programs, to improve supervision for high-risk parolees and to better partner with communities in managing minor parole violators.

By prioritizing supervision, creating incentives for inmates to complete programs that are proven to reduce recidivism, and with the addition of other reforms, Californias prison population is expected to be gradually reduced by about 6,500 inmates over the next year.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in October signed Senate Bill x3 18, authored by Sen. Denise Ducheny (D-San Diego), which also adjusts property crimes for inflation and requires CDCR to assess the risk of each parolee. The new law improves the current parole system by allowing parole agents to focus supervision on the more serious offenders, reducing parole agent caseloads, creating a new line of field supervision for field agents including field training officers, and implementing a new outcome-based case planning process that provides incentives for parolee success.

I consider this reform to be a landmark achievement in improving public safety in California, said CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate. This fundamentally changes how we view successful parole supervision from a system that focused mainly on revocation to one that measures both public safety and how well parolees reintegrate into society.

The only way to fix CA prison is to execute all high risk offenders and keep all the "low risk" offenders behind bars. Who cares about overcrowding prison, if you don't want to suffer in jail, do commit any crimes. They are behind bars for a reason and should stay there.

What educational and vocational programs are left???? No need to worry about credit for completion of something that is non existent. CDCR may as well drop the R off to be honest. As a matter of fact--self help workshops for inmates offered by NON PROFIT organizations which are FREE of charge to the state and taxpayers have been discontinued!!! Volunteer efforts have been turned away. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?????
