  2. Public Safety Realignment • Enacted on October 1, 2011 • Lower-level offenders serve their sentences locally • Offenders convicted of violent, sex-related, or other serious offenses continue to serve their sentences in prison • Lower-level offenders released from state prison are supervised by local probation officers under Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS), instead of by state parole agents • State parole violators serve their revocation terms in local jails rather than state prison Lower-Level Offenders “realigned” to county, rather than state, supervision.

HEADLINE TEXT HERE Definition of Incidents Click Here to Add Text This could be a call out area. • Bullet Points toemphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Serious (Melee/Riot):A violent disturbance involving three or more inmates. • Violent:Assault and/or battery on a staff member or an inmate, as well as homicide.

  6. Institutional Misconduct:Number of Serious Incidents HEADLINE TEXT HERE • There are few (less than 30) serious incidents each month. • The number of serious Post-Realignment incidents is higher than that which was reported during the previous year for the months of October through February. • This trend reverses from March through June, when the number of serious Post-Realignment incidents is lower. • There were almost ½ as many serious incidents in June 2012 as there were in June 2011.

  7. Institutional Misconduct:Rate of Serious Incidents HEADLINE TEXT HERE Click Here to Add Text This could be a call out area. • Bullet Points toemphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • The trend depicting the rate of serious incidents almost mirrors the number of serious incidents. • Adjusting for the decline of the CDCR Institution population shows that the rate for October, March, and May is the same Pre- and Post-Realignment. • The June 2012 serious incident rate is much lower than the June 2011 rate.

  8. Institutional Misconduct:Number of Violent Incidents HEADLINE TEXT HERE • With the exception of October and January, the number of violent Post-Realignment incidents is lower than those reported Pre-Realignment. • The greatest difference in the number of Pre- and Post-Realignment violent incidents occurs in May as there were 86 fewer incidents in 2012.

  11. OIG Medical Inspection Scores(cont’d) HEADLINE TEXT HERE Click Here to Add Text This could be a call out area. • Bullet Points toemphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • All 14 institutions that have been assessed Post-Realignment have scores that are notably above the 75% minimum / moderate adherence cutoff.

  12. OIG Medical Inspection Scores HEADLINE TEXT HERE • Several institutions had low adherence scores during the Pre-Realignment period. • Post-Realignment, five institutions have high adherence scores.

CDCR Incarcerated Offender Needs HEADLINE TEXT HERE Click Here to Add Text This could be a call out area. • Bullet Points toemphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • CDCR’s Strategic Plan tracks offender’s access to rehabilitative programs. • Throughout Fiscal Year 2011-12, most offenders who had an identified need (as measured by COMPAS), did not receive rehabilitative programming for their need(s) before being released from CDCR. • As stated in the CDCR Blueprint, the goal is for 70% of all target population offenders to have their needs met prior to leaving CDCR.

  16. Post-RealignmentRelease Demographics HEADLINE TEXT HERE Click Here to Add Text This could be a call out area. • Bullet Points toemphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Bullet Points to emphasize • Examination of post-Realignment demographics for offenders released to either Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS Offenders) or State Parole. • Gender • Age at Release • Race/Ethnicity • Commitment Offense Category • Release Type • California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) Score at Release • Release period: October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012

  17. HEADLINE TEXT HERE Gender • Overall, more male than female offenders were released. • There are slightly more male State Parolees than there are male PRCS offenders. • Conversely, there are more female PRCS offenders than there are female State Parolees.

  18. Age HEADLINE TEXT HERE • The age groups from 18 through 29 are represented by more State Parolees than PRCS Offenders. • From age 30 to 59, there is a greater percentage of PRCS offenders than State Parolees. • There are more age 60+ State Parolees than PRCS Offenders.

  19. HEADLINE TEXT HERE Race/Ethnicity • Most Post-Realignment releases were Hispanic/Latino, White or Black/African American. • There are 2.1% more Hispanic/Latino State Parolees than Hispanic/Latino PRCS Offenders. • There are 5.6% more White PRCS Offenders than White State Parolees. • There are 2.9% more Black/African American State Parolees than Black/African American PRCS Offenders.

  20. Commitment OffenseCategory HEADLINE TEXT HERE • State Parolees are much more likely than PRCS Offenders to have been committed to CDCR for “Crime Against Persons.” • PRCS Offenders are much more likely than State Parolees to have been committed to CDCR for “Property Crimes” or “Drug Crimes”

  21. Release Type HEADLINE TEXT HERE • There are more PRCS Offenders than State Parolees who left CDCR Post-Realignment as a first release on their current term. • Conversely, there are more State Parolees than PRCS Offenders who left CDCR as a re-release.

  22. California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) Score HEADLINE TEXT HERE • The CSRA measures risk of reconviction. • PRCS Offenders are more likely to have a “High” CSRA score. • State Parolees are more likely to have a “Low” CSRA score. • This is likely due to the fact that in addition to violent crimes, the “High” CSRA category represents drug and property convictions, which are often characteristic of PRCS Offenders.
