CM1The 2011/2012 San Diego County Grand Jury commends all those involved in implementing the Public Safety Realignment Act. In the 2000s, when the State was trying to reform its criminal justice system, San Diego County was held up as a model for using evidence-based practices to reduce recidivism. Our Community Corrections Partnership was already well-established when Realignment occurred. They and their non-governmental partners worked quickly to develop a well- conceived Implementation Plan focused on preserving public safety and reducing recidivism while mitigating local impacts through full use of the flexibility in custody, sentencing and treatment built into Realignment. 16 Gorman, State convicts arrive in L.A.
