Findings and Recommendations 3 findings
F2
The number of Post-Release Community Supervision cases expected to be released from state prison to local facilities was significantly underestimated. The actual number over the first six months of operation exceeded expectations by approximately 59 percent. Response: Agrees with the finding.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
Restrictions on the use of AB 109 state funding fails to recognize the increase in crime in communities and the additional demands placed on local law enforcement agencies. Response: Disagrees partially with the finding. The restrictions on the use of AB109 funding are statutorily mandated. The legislature has disallowed the use of AB109 funding in any manner that would supplant existing funding. However, AB109 funding may be used for costs associated with the supervision of persons on post release community supervision and those on mandatory release pursuant to AB109 which should allow for the use of AB109 funds to reimburse local law enforcement for assistance in the supervision of these populations.
