Refer to Handout for list of offenses
Sentences that must be served
in State Prison
Examples of the 44 non-serious,
non-violent, non-sex offenses that
would be required to serve time in
prison: felony physical abuse of an
elder or dependent, assault on a
peace officer, and bribing a
legislator.
Contracting Back
 AB 109 allows counties to contract back
with the State to send local offenders to
state prison.
 Contracting back does not include parole
revocations.
Prospectively from July 1, 2011
No state prison
inmates will be
transferred
to county jails.
X
Postrelease Supervision
 County-level supervision upon release from prison
 Current Non-violent offenders
 Current Non-serious offenders
 Sex offenders
 Does NOT include:
 3rd strike
 Individuals with a Serious Commitment Offense
 Individuals with a Violent Commitment Offense
 High risk sex offenders as defined by CDCR
Postrelease Supervision
Board of Supervisors
designate a county agency to
be responsible for
Postrelease Supervision.
CDCR must notify counties
who is being released on
postrelease supervision.
Postrelease Supervision
(continued)
 Allows revocations up to 12 months
 Graduated sanctions including flash
incarceration at the local level (revocations
lasting longer than 14 days require a court
hearing).
 Courts may adjudicate violations and new
conditions of release at the local level.
Postrelease Supervision
(continued)
 Specifies CDCR shall have no jurisdiction
over any person who is under postrelease
community supervision and no person
shall be returned to prison except for
persons previously sentenced to a term
of life (and only after a court order).
State Parole Supervision
 Commitment offense:
 Current serious or violent felony as
described in PC 1192.7 (c) or 667.5(c)
 The offender has been convicted of a
third strike
 Or the person is classified as a high risk
sex offender.
State Parole Supervision
Specifies CDCR continues to
have jurisdiction over all
offenders on state parole
prior to July 1, 2011
implementation.
State Parole Supervision
Parole revocations will be
served in county jail – not in
state prison.
Contracting back from the state
for revocations is not an
option.
Only persons previously
sentenced to a term of life can
be revoked to prison.
State Parole Supervision
Replaces BPH with the courts
as the authority for
determining revocations.
BPH will continue to do
lifer hearings, medical
parole, and MDO/SVP cases.
State Parole Supervision
For the remaining low level
offenders on parole after
implementation of
realignment, parole has the
authority to discharge after
six months if no violations
have occurred.
Juvenile Justice
 Limits future juvenile court commitments
to DJJ
 Counties must have MOU with State
 Prospectively from July 1, 2011
