Existing law requires prisoners sentenced to imprisonment in the state prison to serve time on parole or postrelease community supervision after their release from prison. Existing law requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to release specified information about a person paroled or placed on postrelease community supervision to local law enforcement agencies. When a person is serving a term for a violent felony as defined or child abuse or a sex offense as defined, existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to notify the sheriff or chief of police, or both, and the district attorney where the person was convicted and where the person is scheduled to be released at least 60 days prior to the scheduled release date. Existing law requires a facility that confines an inmate prior to being sentenced to award credits based on participation in programming and good behavior. Existing constitutional provisions, enacted by the voters as Proposition 57 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorize the department to award credits to prisoners that are earned for good behavior and approved rehabilitative or educational achievements. This bill would require the department to make an initial determination of the minimum eligible parole date for the inmate based on the sentence of the court and any credits awarded or expected to be awarded to the inmate during incarceration. The bill would require the department, if the department awards additional credits, revokes credits, or changes the rate of accrual of good conduct credits and the decision would result in an inmate's minimum eligible parole date changing more than 6 months, to post the inmate's new release date on the public inmate locator system.
