Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, when releasing prisoners on parole who have been convicted of a violent felony, as defined, or certain other felonies, as specified, to notify the law enforcement agency and the district attorney having jurisdiction over the community in which the person was convicted and also the law enforcement agency and district attorney having jurisdiction over the community in which the person is scheduled to be released. Existing law requires that this notification be made by mail at least 45 days prior to the scheduled release date, and provides deadlines for local authorities to respond with written comments regarding county placements, and for the department to reply. If notification cannot be provided within the 45 days due to an unanticipated release date change of an inmate, as specified, or because the department modifies its decision regarding the community of release due to comments received by the department from agencies in that community, existing law requires that notification be provided no less than 24 hours after a final decision is made regarding where the parolee is to be released. Existing law requires that if there is a change of county placement after the 45-day notice is given to local law enforcement and the district attorney relating to an out-of-county placement, notice to the ultimate county of placement shall be made upon the determination of the county of placement. This bill would require that notification be sent 60 days prior to the scheduled release date of an inmate. The bill would conform the timeline for local comments to the longer notification period, as specified. Existing law prohibits the department from restoring credits or taking administrative action resulting in an inmate being placed in a greater credit earning category that would result in notification being provided less than 45 days prior to the inmate's scheduled release date. This bill would conform this provision to its 60-day notification requirement.
