Correctional facility construction: local agreements.

Existing law charges the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation with the responsibility of planning and constructing state correctional facilities. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is headed by the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Existing law authorizes the secretary to enter into a long-term agreement not to exceed 20 years with a city, county, or city and county to place parole violators and other state inmates in a specified facility. This bill would authorize the secretary to enter into a long-term agreement not to exceed 25 years, with the City of Adelanto to finance and build a state prison facility, as specified, for the incarceration of medium and maximum security inmates. The bill would require the facility to be staffed by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the bill would require incarcerated inmates to be subject to the rules and regulations of the secretary. The bill would require the secretary to take certain factors into consideration in determining the reimbursement rate for a long-term agreement with the City of Adelanto and would require the payment to include a specified service fee component. The bill would authorize the secretary to contract with the City of Adelanto for the maintenance of the facility. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Adelanto.
