PRCS’s Issues/Concerns Early packets received by CDCR had numerous issues including ineligible offenders and packets that were issued to the wrong county. These have improved significantly. The spring projections provided by CDCR did not include parole violators sentenced to State Prison prior to October 1, When released after November 1 st, they are on PRCS. This population of parole violators should be completely released from the State Prison system by September

PRCS’s All PRCS’s are directed to report to the Assessment Center within 48 hours of being released from State Prison The difference in number of those scheduled, appeared, and failed to report are a result of a number of reasons (i.e. deportation, in custody, parole has jurisdiction, out- of-county) OctoberNovemberDecemberTOTAL Scheduled for Prison Release Appeared at Assessment Center Initially Failed to Report Revocations filed for Initially FTR

First Quarter Accomplishments Strong, committed collaboration between all partner agencies San Joaquin County was one of the first counties in the State to have the Public Safety Realignment Plan approved Our plan was used as a model for various statewide organizations San Joaquin County has made significant progress in implementing all plan components and is much farther along than most counties in the State Monthly Bulletin highlights core data elements and provides updates on activities 26

First Quarter Accomplishments (cont.) State Parole is an active partner in San Joaquin County’s CCP, which is not the case throughout the State A Parole/County Committee has been formed to develop processes for sharing information and working together to promote public safety The Assessment Center is fully functional and is the hub for supportive services for offenders being released from custody The County Jail was expanded by 210 beds Correctional Health access to BHS electronic health record on emergency or as needed basis 27

First Quarter Accomplishments (cont.) The Probation Department’s Day Reporting Center has been expanded Numerous evidence based programs are being offered in-custody and out-of-custody at no charge to offender Expenditures are being spent as planned 28

First Quarter Challenges AB109 Population is higher than projections upon which the plan was developed Data collection is more difficult than originally anticipated Challenges including working on common definitions, formalizing record keeping policies, and connecting data from different systems. Parole violators are primarily being court capped for technical violations. Coupled with that fact, the longest they can be revoked for is 180 days (with day-for-day credit), there are negligible consequences for not abiding by parole conditions. 29

Next Steps Improve data collection for consistency of reporting Agree on a local definition for defining recidivism Further analyze make-up of County Jail population Bring on additional treatment providers for residential, out-patient, and sober living environments Secure contracts for 45-day transitional housing for homeless offenders who do not qualify for general assistance housing Increase utilization of community service as a sanction Brainstorm a solution in dealing with parole violators Develop Year 2 plan once funding allocation has been finalized 30
