R2
– The county jail systems provide English language education opportunities for inmates to increase communication skills thereby increasing the number of viable candidates for the program. COMMENTS Legislators need to research the effects and consequences of any proposed legislation. Their research should include consultation with the agencies affected by any potential legislation. Assembly Bill 109 (the Prison Realignment Act) and Proposition 47 (the Reduced Penalties for some Crimes Initiative) have had a negative impact on the fire camp population, limiting the potential number of candidates. The Delta Camp concept provides two exceptional assets for the State of California: reduced recidivism and a trained firefighter force. These assets need to be protected.
