Overview
This bill changes how California handles supervised release for people leaving prison. It requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide local law enforcement agencies with more information about inmates released on parole or postrelease community supervision, including records of prior supervision. The bill also requires county agencies supervising these individuals to provide the department with all records of supervision and to petition a court to revoke, modify, or terminate supervision if a person violates the terms of their release, particularly after a third violation. Finally, it mandates notification to courts and other agencies about the use of ‘flash incarceration’ and addresses issues related to travel permits and data sharing.
