Postrelease community supervision.
- Requires prisons to notify counties at least 30 days before releasing inmates to community supervision.
- Mandates up to three years of county probation supervision for released prisoners.
- Exempts serious felons, violent offenders, and high-risk sex offenders from community supervision.
- Requires counties to use evidence-based supervision practices that reduce repeat offenses.
Assembly Member Lackey's proposal to modify California's postrelease community supervision system focuses on strengthening notification requirements between state and county agencies. The measure would require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide counties with complete parolee information no less than 30 days before an individual's release from prison.
The bill maintains the existing framework where individuals released from prison after October 1, 2011, remain under county probation supervision for up to three years, with specific exceptions for serious felonies, violent crimes, high-risk sex offenders, and those requiring state hospital treatment. County probation departments implement supervision strategies designated by their boards of supervisors, incorporating evidence-based practices aimed at reducing recidivism.
Under current law, the Department must notify counties about upcoming releases and provide information typically required for parolees. The proposed change establishes a firm minimum 30-day notification timeline, allowing county probation departments additional preparation time to coordinate supervision services. Individuals subject to postrelease supervision continue to remain under county oversight for at least 60 days, even if later determinations suggest they should have been placed under state parole supervision.
