Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: suicide prevention: reports.

Existing law establishes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and charges it with certain duties and powers, including, among other things, the operation of prisons and other specified institutions. This bill would require the department to submit a report, as specified, to the Legislature on or before October 1 of each year, to include, among other things, descriptions of progress toward meeting the department's goals related to the completion of suicide risk evaluations, progress toward completion of 72 hour treatment plans, and progress in identifying and implementing initiatives that are designed to reduce risk factors associated with suicide. The bill would require the report to be posted on the department's Internet Web site.
