Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: inmates: parole and postrelease supervision.

Existing law requires that an inmate released on parole or postrelease supervision be returned to the county of last legal residence and requires the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide specified items of information to local law enforcement agencies regarding an inmate paroled or placed on postrelease supervision in their jurisdiction. Existing law also provides that the department shall not return to prison, place a parole hold on, or report any parole violation to the Board of Parole Hearings regarding any person to whom all of specified criteria apply. This bill would require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not less than 45 days prior to the release of such an inmate, or as soon as practicable, to notify, via the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) , the local law enforcement agency of the jurisdiction to which the inmate is to be released regarding the scheduled release.
