At the time ISUDTP was established, CDCR indicated that its goal was to make the program available to all inmates in need of treatment upon full implementation. But as of Nov. 25, only 62 inmates were released solely because of their medical conditions, according to data from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. While we acknowledge that these problems could impact the program in other ways, CalPIA has not provided evidence that this is the case, including the extent to which the additional custodian supervisors proposed would in fact alleviate such impacts. 4, 2020Jan. We find that the additional custodian supervisors to reflect a different staffing ratio are unnecessary. These releases, combined with extensive efforts focused on physical distancing, masking, and vaccination, resulted in the continued decline of COVID-19 cases in our institutions. Yet because his domestic violence conviction did not qualify as a violent crime, the CDCR deemed him qualified for early release. The Governors budget also proposes 54 additional custodian supervisor positions in 202223 (increasing to 72 in 202324). Prior to 201920, CDCR had operated MAT pilot programs at three prisons. For example, last year, as part of its justification to provide inmates with laptops to facilitate remote participation in academic programs, the department noted the challenge of physical space limitations at the prisons due to a lack of sufficient classrooms. Code, 2930 et seq.) For example, a study from the Urban Institute found that in three states recidivism rates were lower for inmates who participated in higher education programs, some of which included bachelors degree programs (after accounting for several factors). Wenote, however, that the 202122 budget provided $13.7million General Fund (decreasing to $3million in 202324 and ongoing) to expand rehabilitation programs available at Valley State Prison in Chowchilla, including establishing a bachelors degree program.

Accordingly, we withhold recommendation onthe proposal until that time. The Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP) provides pre-release community programs located in communities throughout the State of California.

Accordingly, the state did not provide dedicated funds to establish these three bachelors degree programs. Accordingly, we recommend the Legislature withhold action on the proposal and direct the department to submit a revised proposal at the May Revision. It does not equate to or represent a blanket release. State law requires state agencies to purchase products and services offered by CalPIA whenever possible. CDCR also began requiring that counselors delivering CBT programs be certified Alcohol and Other Drug counselors, a requirement that was often waived before ISUDTP was implemented. We recommend that the Legislature require CDCR to provide the final evaluation report resulting from this effort. We note that the department has initiated an analysis of its space needs, which is currently in the process of being revised to account for the impacts of COVID19related restrictions (such as limits on the number of people who can occupy the same room). The rules are on the CDCR website at www.cdcr.ca.gov. This is because the department has not been able to explain: (1)howmuch funding from vacant positions was used to support the programs; (2)what the vacant positions were intended for; (3)why the positions were vacant; (4)why the funding from the vacant positions will no longer be available (including what the funding will now be used for); and (5)what the operational impacts would be if the Legislature redirected the vacant position funding for other purposes, such as expanding bachelors degree programs. The expedited releases and suspension ofintake have resulted in a substantial decline in theinmatepopulation. 19, 2019Nov. We recommend that the Legislature withhold action on the proposed resources for CDCRs 202223 COVID19 response and direct the department to submit a revised proposal at the May Revision.

The Governors January budget plan for 202223 proposes, largely from the General Fund, a net decrease of $24.7million in the current year and a net increase of $61.5million in the budget year related to projected changes in the overall population of adult offenders and various subpopulations (such as inmates housed in reentry facilities and sex offenders on parole). According to CDCR, the projected increase in the inmate population is primarily due to the intake of a backlog of people who were sentenced to prison but housed in county jails while prison admissions were halted in response to the COVID19 pandemic. To accomplish this, as we discuss in more detail below, ISUDTP changed the way CDCR assesses inmates need for SUD treatment, provides SUD treatment and rehabilitation programs, and conducts the inmate release planning process. Specifically, it would provide a new aftercare program to inmates who have completed treatment but remain incarcerated and additional programs for inmates who are not improving or are worsening following treatment. For example, it would shorten from 12 months to 9 months the duration of certain CBT programs to allow the department to serve more inmates. One of the suspects arrested in connection with that deadly mass shooting was released from prison last February after serving less than half of a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault. Direct CDCR to Revise the Proposal at the May Revision to Reflect Updated Population Projections. CDCR reports that statewide about 14,000 inmates were enrolled in some sort of collegelevel course and 1,500inmates held an associates degree (either earned while in prison or before entering prison) asof July 2021. These programs allow eligible people committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the community, in lieu of confinement in state prison. For example, between January 15, 2022 and January 29, 2022, the department reported 8,000 new cases. CalPIA Also Employs Civil Service Custodians. In addition, we find that the proposed modifications to the program merit consideration. For example, for inmates in MAT near their release date, a multidisciplinary teamincluding nursing staff and social workershelp ensure treatment continues after their release, such as by scheduling and arranging transportation to initial health appointments, securing records, and coordinating with service providers in the community. These conditions include terminal illness, old age, and good behavior. (When positions approved in the budget go unfilled, the funding received by departments associated with the positionsknown as vacant position fundingis often redirected by departments for other purposes.) MAT is intended to combine SUD treatment services (such as CBT) with medications designed to reduce the likelihood of inmates relapsing while undergoing SUD treatment. In November 2016, California voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 57, the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016. SB 1391, a separate piece of legislation related to Prop 57, also frees prisoners, specifically those who were juveniles convicted of crimes as adults. 8, 2019Oct. CDCR reports that the number and complexity of requests requiring redaction has grown in recent years, driven primarily by two factors: Responsibility for redaction is primarily divided between CDCRs Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) and Division of Adult Institutions (DAI), which is responsible for operating prisons. That means if you're sentenced to 10 years for domestic violence, you could get out after three years and four months, Dow said. Supporters of the change, like Dora Pacheco, say it provides incentive for good behavior in custody. Under Proposition 57, incarcerated people increased their Good Conduct Credit earning, and have been given time credits for participation in Milestone Completion Credits, Rehabilitative Achievement Credits, and Educational Merit Credits. However, at the time of this analysis, the department was not able to provide sufficient information to justify the estimated COVID19 direct response costs of $425million in 202223. CBTprograms are designed to help individuals change negative patterns of behavior. As a part of the May Revision, the administration will update these budget requests. Before such records can be released, sensitive informationsuch as names of witnesses or individuals medical informationmust be redacted from the records. We will continue to monitor CDCRs population and make recommendations based on the administrations revised population projections and budget adjustments included in theMay Revision.

California no longer houses incarcerated persons out of state. The Governor proposes $126.6million General Fund and 310positions in 202223 (increasing to $163million and 418 positions annually in 202324) to expand and modify ISUDTP in four key ways. In view of the above, we recommend that the Legislature only approve the funding necessary for the HFM program to expand into new health care facilities and reject the funding necessary to change the ratio of custodian supervisors to civil service and inmate custodians.

Accordingly, it appears that these problems are not significant enough to impact the quality of service provided by HFM. (According to the department, these resources are no longer needed in the Contract Bed Unit due to the recent removal of the remaining inmates housed in contract facilities.) Specifically, the department reports that overdoserelated deaths declined by 64percent and overdoserelated emergencies and hospitalizations declined by 27percent.
