Title
Report to the Legislature | California Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act of 2009: Findings From the SB 678 Program (2024)
body
Summary
Penal Code section 1232 requires the Judicial Council to submit an annual report to the Legislature on the implementation of the California Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act of 2009 (Stats. 2009, ch. 608). The legislation seeks to alleviate state prison overcrowding by reducing the number of individuals on felony supervision who are sent there. The program is also designed to encourage county probation departments to use evidence-based supervision practices to accomplish these goals. This report includes background information about the act, describes policy changes that impacted the ongoing implementation of the program, and presents findings related to program outcomes. In previous years, the report included recommendations for program improvement. Recommendations have not been included in the past two reports due to those recommendations having been largely implemented.
