(f) The inmate is subject to a period of parole exceeding three years at the time they committed their current offense, pursuant to PC section 3000. Note: Authority cited: Sections, 5058 and 5058.3, Penal Code. Reference: Sections 3451 and 5054, Penal Code. Text - PRCS 6/22/12 4 INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS: The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) proposes to amend Title 15, Division 3, Sections 3000, 3075.2 and 3075.3 and adopt under Chapter 1, new Article 6.9, Sections 3079 and 3079.1 governing Postrelease Community Supervision (PRCS). This action is necessary to implement, interpret and comply with recently adopted Penal Code (PC) Section 3450 et seq. that creates a new release status for certain CDCR inmates called PRCS. Under the provisions of the Postrelease Community Supervision Act of 2011 (the Act), PC Section 3450 et seq. provides for supervision of offenders in the community by county agencies after their release from incarceration in CDCR prisons. It also prohibits the CDCR from returning these individuals to state prison for violations of PRCS. Instead, the Act allows all qualified offenders released from state prison on or after October 1, 2011, to be subject to PRCS provided by a county agency. The commitment offense for inmates eligible for release by CDCR to PRCS shall be non-serious, nonviolent, not classified as a High Risk Sex Offender, no Life sentence, and not incarcerated as second or third strike offenders, pursuant to PC Section 3451(b). The fiscal constraints of the state budget, along with Federal judicial mandates regarding prison overcrowding, (Three-Judge Panel order to reduce the state prison in the case of Plata v. Edmund G. Brown, Jr.), require that the valuable protections afforded by incarceration and state-level parole supervision be prioritized to concentrate upon an offender s threat to public safety. PRCS for qualifying offenders whose current commitment is non-serious, non-violent, and meets the standards in PC 3451(b), allows felons reentering the community after serving a state prison term, to participate in local community programs that offer community-based punishment, evidence-based rehabilitation practices and local supervision strategies. It is hoped that PRCS will facilitate successful reintegration back into society and improve public safety outcomes among these adult felon parolees. The establishment of PRCS for lower level offenders will preserve public safety by not returning offenders to state prison for short periods of incarceration due to parole violations, but rather remand them to local city and county jails. CDCR parole staff at the state level will now be able to focus its reduced parole supervision resources on more dangerous offenders based on the severity of their criminal history. Offenders not eligible for PRCS will remain supervised by CDCR parole agents.

Like many other states, California experienced a significant increase in its state level prisoner population over the last 25 years. Despite a historic facility building effort during this period, the CDCR s figure for overcrowding based on the design capacity of its prison facilities stood at 202% in November 2006 (State Responds to Three-Judge Court s Order Requiring a Reduction in Prison Crowding, CDCR Today, Press Release). That same month (November 2006), plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit Plata v. Schwarzenegger (Plata) filed a motion to convene a Three-Judge Panel claiming that overcrowded conditions in CDCR prisons resulted in an unconstitutional level of medical care for inmates. Plata is a consolidation of two class-action lawsuits brought against the state over health care for inmates. The second lawsuit, Coleman v. Schwarzenegger involves mental health treatment for inmates. Both claimed that the care provided to inmates violated the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment of the incarcerated. Prior to the U.S. Supreme Court decision, the CDCR took several steps to reduce its prison overcrowding. CDCR began transferring certain inmates to contracted correctional facilities outside of the state based on legislation passed in 2007. These temporary transfers allowed prison officials to reduce the number of inmates housed in converted gymnasiums, dayrooms, and other places not primarily designed for inmate housing. Senate Bill (SB) 3x 18 (2009) authorized the Department to grant qualified inmates up to six months of credit in a calendar period, for actively participating in and completing components of in-prison rehabilitation programs. These credits reduce the amount of time ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 1 an inmate spends in prison, and provides an incentive for them to participate in programs designed to educate, while at the same time supplying them with vocational and life skills that are intended to help them successfully reintegrate into their communities once released from state incarceration. The CDCR has also worked over the past several years to increase its prison bed capacity, including the addition of medical care and mental health beds. In May 2007, AB 900 was enacted to address health care space deficiencies and overcrowding, which was a historic correctional overhaul. It authorized $7 billion for construction of state prison and local jail projects. On August 4, 2009, the Three-Judge Panel issued a decision ordering the state to reduce its adult institutions population to 137.5 percent of design capacity within two years, which was appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In May of 2011 the United States Supreme Court upheld the decision by the Three-Judge Panel, that medical and mental health care for inmates in California fell below a Constitutional level of care, due primarily to overcrowding, despite the Department s plans and initiatives to reduce its inmate population. The court decided that the only way to meet the standard of care was to reduce prison crowding further. In accordance with the Three-Judge Panel and the U.S. Supreme Court s decision, the inmate population in California must be reduced to no more than 137.5 percent of the design capacity of its facilities by May 2013. As of May 16, 2011 the total statewide inmate population, including felons and civil addicts, was 162,740, which is 10,739 fewer than the high of 173,479 reached October 25, 2006. On April 4, 2011, Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes 2011, The 2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety). This historic legislation is designed to redirect offenders with short-term felony convictions to serve their incarceration in local jails. It closes the door on lower level offenders cycling in and out of state prison for short periods for parole violations. In addition, current inmates released from incarceration after serving their time in state prisons and whose current commitment offenses are considered non-serious, non-violent, not a Life sentence, and are not considered a High Risk Sex Offender, would be released to the counties for PRCS. These regulations implement necessary changes to CDCR s pre-release rules and processes for those offenders who are now eligible for PRCS under AB 109 (2011) Realignment. The Department recognizes that portions of the language utilized in these sections duplicates state statute, more specifically in part, PC Section 3450 et seq. This is necessary because the target

3000. Definitions. population for the CCR Title 15, Division 3, includes incarcerated inmates and newly-released parolees. This population may not have immediate access to current California Penal Code editions for review. By duplicating the statutory language, the Department is able to provide context and clarify the requirements of the regulation to help ensure a complete understanding of the statutory authority. Because of this necessity, it is the Department s position that any duplication of state statute in these regulations does not serve as the same purpose for the above-referenced PC section, and as provided in Government Code (GC) Section 11349(f), is necessary and allowed in order to satisfy the clarity standard as described in GC Section 11349(c). Consideration of Alternatives: The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Department, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which this action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the action proposed, or would be more cost-effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law. ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 2 Currently, no reasonable alternatives have been brought to the attention of the Department that would alter the Department s initial determination. Economic Impact Assessment: The Department has determined that the proposed regulations will have an impact on the creation of new, or the elimination of existing jobs or businesses within California. The shift in inmate and parole population requires the counties to hire more employees for the county jails and the Probation Departments. The reduction in the number of inmates being sentenced to prison and subsequently released to State parole requires the State to reduce their current staffing levels. The health and welfare of California residents will be benefited by the proposed regulations by a reduction in prison overcrowding. The proposed regulations are intended to reduce recidivism among criminal offenders by reinvesting criminal justice resources to support community corrections programs and evidence based practices that will achieve public safety. In addition to the reduction in prison overcrowding and reducing recidivism, the proposed regulations will benefit the State by a reduction in the State budget. The proposed regulations will not affect worker safety or the State s environment. The Department has made an initial determination that no reasonable alternatives to the regulations have been identified or brought to the attention of the Department that would lessen any adverse impact on small business. The Department has made an initial determination that the action will not have a significant adverse economic impact on business. Additionally, there has been no testimony, or other evidence provided that would alter the Department s initial determination. The 2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety (Chapter 15, Statutes 2011) does impose mandates on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate which requires reimbursement pursuant to Part 7 (Section 17561) of Division 4 of the GC. Funding has been provided to local agencies commensurate with the new responsibilities under realignment. For further explanation, see Economic and Fiscal Impact Statement, Std. 399. Reports Relied Upon: The Department, in proposing amendments to these regulations, has not identified nor has it relied upon any technical, theoretical, or empirical study, report, or similar document. Specific Purpose and Rationale for each Section, per Government Code 11346.2(b)(1)

Section 3000 is amended to provide the definition of Postrelease Community Supervision (PRCS) within the regulations. This is necessary to make clear and consistent, the meaning of PRCS, pursuant to newly-enacted PC Section 3450, effective October 1, 2011. At the end of Section 3000 in the authority and reference citations, Section 3450 is added as a reference. ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 3 3075.2. Releases. Subsections 3075.2(a) through 3075.2(b)(1)(B) are unchanged. Subsection 3075.2(b)(2) is amended to add the new text: for inmates being released to parole. Because of PRCS, this language is necessary to identify the separation between the release processes for inmates who are released to parole, and those inmates who are released to PRCS. Subsection 3075.2(b)(2)(A) is amended to reflect the following: A new revision date and update the acronym from CDC to CDCR for the Form 611 (Rev. 05/12), Release Program Study. The CDCR Form 611 is one of the key forms utilized for communicating information for the release of an inmate to a parole agent, or to a county representative for those inmates released from the prison to PRCS. The CDCR Form 611 has been amended to incorporate necessary changes for the implementation of PRCS. The revised CDCR Form 611 has been incorporated by reference into the regulations and a copy of this form has been made available for public review. A correct revision date and title for the CDC Form 1515 (Rev. 05/01), Notice and Conditions of Parole. Since the last amendment to this subsection which references the CDC Form 1515 (Rev. 3/92), the CDC Form 1515 was revised. Changes to the text will now reference the current form being utilized to provide inmates being released to parole, the notice and conditions of their parole. Also, the acronym P&CSD, which stood for the Parole and Community Services Division, is now obsolete since the CDCR 2005 reorganization and has been deleted from the text and was not included in the title of the (Rev. 05/01) version. The CDC Form 1515 (Rev. 05/01) has been incorporated by reference into the regulations and a copy of this form has been made available for public review. A correct revision date and title for CDCR Form 1570 (Rev. 01/06), Guidelines for Parole. Since the last amendment to this subsection which references CDC Form 1570 (Rev. 12/89), the CDC Form 1570 was revised. Changes to the text will now reference the current form being utilized to provide inmates with guidelines for parole. CDCR Form 1570 (Rev. 01/06) has been incorporated by reference into the regulations and a copy of this form has been made available for public review. Subsection 3075.2(b)(2)(B) is amended to reflect the correct acronym for the CDCR Form 611. Subsections 3075.2(b)(2)(C) through 3075.2(b)(4)(C) are unchanged. New Subsections 3075.2(b)(5) through 3075.2(b)(5)(B) are adopted to establish, on a statewide basis, the provisions of the reporting and notice requirements for those inmates being released to PRCS. This language is necessary as a directive to staff and inmates to ensure consistency on the procedures that are to be followed. Besides utilizing the revised CDCR Form 611 as referenced above, a new form has been created for this process; the CDCR Form 1515-CS (09/11), Notice and Conditions of Postrelease Community Supervision, which has been incorporated by reference into the regulations, and a copy of the form has been made available for public review. The CDCR Form

1515-CS includes requirements, pursuant to provisions of PC Section 3450 et seq., for those offenders eligible for release to PRCS to enter into an agreement prior to, and as a condition of, their release from prison. Section 3075.2(b)(5)(C) is adopted to advise staff of the requirement to notify appropriate county agencies when an inmate who is eligible for PRCS refuses to sign the conditions of release. Should an ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 4 inmate refuse to sign the CDCR 1515-CS, the inmate will be issued a CDC 115 (07/88), Rules Violation Report. This language is necessary as a directive to staff and to inform inmates of the consequences of not consenting to the conditions of release to PRCS. Subsection 3075.2(c) is unchanged. Subsection 3075.2(d) is amended to reflect that a release allowance will be provided when an inmate is released from CDCR facilities to PRCS, and removing reference to released from prison, to update this section. This section was amended to incorporate information that a release allowance shall be provided to inmates released to PRCS for the purpose of assisting the parolee to reintegrate into free society. However, new language reflects that parolees on PRCS who are subsequently placed in custody and then released from county jail as a result of a parole violation are not eligible for a CDCR release allowance. Offenders that are not released from a CDCR facility are not entitled to a release allowance, as the release allowance is intended for rehabilitative purposes and reintegration into society. This language is necessary as a directive to staff and inmates. Subsection 3075.2(d)(1) is unchanged. Subsection 3075.2(d)(2) is amended for clarification. New text is added to reflect that inmates who are released from CDCR facilities to the custody of local law enforcement as a result of a detainer or hold, are not eligible to receive a release allowance until the inmate is released from custody to direct state parole supervision or to PRCS. Inmates that are not released from a CDCR facility are not entitled to a release allowance, as the release allowance is intended for rehabilitative purposes and reintegration into society. This language is necessary as a directive to staff and inmates. 3075.3. Discharge Certificates. Subsections 3075.3(a) and (b) are unchanged. Subsection 3075.3(c) is amended. The letter R is added to CDC to correctly reference the CDCR Form 163, in order to reflect the correct acronym for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Subsection 3075.3(d) is adopted to reflect that inmates who are discharged due to release to PRCS shall not be issued discharge certificates. Discharge certificates are given to CDCR parolees to document that they have successfully completed their period of state-level parole supervision. Discharge certificates not appropriate for inmates releases to PRCS. This is because CDCR no longer has jurisdiction or supervision over inmates once they are released to the counties under PRCS. New Section 3079 is adopted. 3079. Postrelease Community Supervision. Subsection 3079(a) is adopted to establish in the regulations, and to also advise staff, that eligible offenders released from a CDCR facility on or after October 1, 2011, pursuant to the provisions of the Postrelease Community Supervision Act of 2011 (PC Sections 3450 et seq.) may be eligible for PRCS. As previously stated in part throughout this Initial Statement of Reasons, PC Section 3450 realigns the community supervision of certain felons upon release from the CDCR to the counties under PRCS.

Subsection 3079(b) is adopted to make clear that offenders released to PRCS are discharged from the Department s custody and placed under the jurisdiction of a county agency. ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 5 New Section 3079.1 is adopted. 3079.1. Postrelease Community Supervision Exclusionary Criteria. Subsections 3079.1 through 3079.1(f) are adopted to establish in the regulations, the PRCS exclusionary criteria pursuant to PC Section 3451. This new text is necessary to provide staff with comprehensibility and standardization when determining an inmate s eligibility for PRCS. These exclusionary criteria are drawn from Penal Code Section 3451 and are placed here in Title 15, Division 3 because CDCR staff and inmates typically refer to, and have printed copies of, department regulations but not the Penal Code. Placement of the statutory exclusions for participation in PRCS into CDCR regulations will promote correct, fair, consistent, and transparent application of them in CDCR prison facilities. ISOR - PRCS 7/02/12 6 ATTACHMENT TO STD. 399 ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT POSTRELEASE COMMUNITY SUPERVISION FISCAL IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT Local government costs incurred under Public Safety Realignment are funded through a combination of a State special fund sales tax, and a dedicated portion of Vehicle License Fees. Beginning with the 2011-12 fiscal year, additional funding was provided to local governments to supervise offenders under Postrelease Community Supervision. Public Safety Realignment funding provided an additional $367 million in 2011-12, and is estimated to provide $856 million in 2012-13, $1 billion in 2013-14, and $950 million in 2014-15. FISCAL IMPACT ON STATE GOVERNMENT State government costs under Public Safety Realignment are projected to decline as more offenders are supervised by local governments. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation budget was reduced by $450 million in 2011-12, $1 billion in 2013-14, and $1.5 billion in 2014-15 and ongoing.
