Impact to California Prison Industry Authority (Cal-PIA):

The Career Technical Education (CTE) program from Cal-PIA is the first of its kind in
the nation to partner an offender rehabilitation program with trade unions to meet the
rehabilitative needs of offenders. Cal-PIA has partnered with the Sheriffs Department
to help local jails with their rehabilitation needs with lower level offenders.

Cal-PIA revenue has declined by the loss of Level 1 inmates to the counties and
cities. To help remedy this, Cal-PIA has begun an Outreach effort to make Cal-PIA
available to cities and counties, with the hope to contract out theirs goods and
services. Cal-PIA has also begun to educate these local entities on goods and
services provided by Cal-PIA to help with the counties and cities that will house these
lower level offenders for extended periods of time.

Cloud Computing
• Assists departments with Cloud by covering areas that are not
specifically in the IT GPs.
• Example: Data ownership, Data availability, Data security,
encryption, and auditing.
• Greater flexibility for departments with carve-out language:
• Can modify to meet specific needs and protect the interests of
the State without being overly prescriptive.
