5 2011 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Adult Institutions Outcome Evaluation Report, November 2011. 6 The Board of State Community Corrections is currently working on a statewide definition of recidivism that will be reported on by all counties. Increased funding for drug and alcohol treatment programs is a critical factor in reducing recidivism. It appears San Luis Obispo County prepared well in advance of AB 109 and is managing through the current set of challenges it has brought. The state received an additional two-year grace period from a three-judge federal panel to achieve further prison population reductions and it is expected there will be more challenges managing this population. How well the county is doing on reducing recidivism during the AB 109 era is yet to be determined and how we evolve through an unclear future bears continual monitoring.

Both the Probation Office and Sheriff's Department have stated that post-release supervision and availability of treatment programs are key. 4 “The Positive Effects of Cognitive Behavior Programs for Offenders”, Journal of Experimental Criminology, 2005. 5 2011 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Adult Institutions Outcome Evaluation Report, November 2011. 6 The Board of State Community Corrections is currently working on a statewide definition of recidivism that will be reported on by all counties.
