45,000 Parole Violators Per Year 10,000 Intakes and Releases Per Month

Criminogenic Consequence of Mixing Offenders Collective Will to Resolve

Three Judge Panel Order


United States Supreme Court Upheld June 2011

The State must reduce overcrowding from 200% to 137.5% by June 27, 2013 Reduce from 141,000 inmates at existing 33 prisons to 112,000 inmates

Public Safety Realignment (AB 109)


Local custody for current/prior non-violent, nonserious, non-sex offenders
Changes to State Parole Eligibility No Prison for Parole Violations Establishes Local Post-release Supervision Local Planning and Funding
7

Public Safety Realignment Revises the definition of felony to include certain crimes that are punishable in jail for more than one year. Maintains length of sentences. Provides Alternative Options other than incarceration as Determined Locally

Who is Sentenced to State Prison?


The following sentences must be served in state prison: Prior or current serious or violent felony as described in PC 1192.7 (c) or 667.5 (c) The defendant is required to register as a sex offender pursuant to PC 290 Excludes certain other specified crimes Note: excluded crimes are those for which a defendant can still be committed to state prison.
9

Additional Features of Realignment


Enhanced local custody and supervision tools:
Contracting Ability Alternative custody tools for county jails Home detention for low-level offenders Local jail credits consistent with prison credits (Day-for-day).

10

Transfer
No state prison inmates were transferred to county jails.

Virtually All State Felons Complete Their Sentences in Custody

Post-release Supervision Opposed to State Parole


County-level supervision upon release from prison
Current Non-violent offenders Current Non-serious offenders Sex offenders

County Does NOT supervise:


3rd strikers and Lifers High risk sex offenders as defined by CDC
Use of Static 99 Risk Tool

Mentally Disordered Offenders


12

Post-release Supervision (continued)


Allows revocations up to 180 days . Graduated sanctions including flash incarceration at the local level (revocations lasting longer than 10 days require a court hearing). Individuals on post-release supervision without any violations after six months can be discharged.

Courts may adjudicate violations and new conditions of release at the local level.
13

State Parole Supervision


Commitment offense: Current serious or violent felony as described in PC 1192.7 (c) or 667.5(c) The offender has been convicted of a third strike The person is classified as a mentally Disordered Offender (MDO) Or the person is classified as a high risk sex offender.
14

State Parole Supervision


Parole revocations will be served in county jail not in state prison - for no more than 180 days. (Reduced Prison Population by 14,000) Contracting back from the state for revocations is not an option. Graduated sanctions including flash incarceration at the local level (revocations lasting longer than 10 days require a BPH hearing). Only persons previously sentenced to a term of life can be revoked to prison
15

State Parole Revocation Hearings


Parole revocation process remains with Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) until July 1, 2013. The revocation process will transition to the Courts after July 1, 2013.
