Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Background
To reduce State prison overcrowding and help lower the State's incarceration costs, beginning in 2011, the Legislature transferred the responsibility for managing certain adult individuals sentenced for non-violent, non-serious and non-sexual offenses, including both incarcerated persons and probationers, from the State to counties -- a change in responsibility commonly referred to as Public Safety Realignment. Under this realignment, some newly sentenced persons who previously would have served their sentences in a State prison instead serve their sentences in a county jail.
Senate Bill 678 (chaptered on October 11, 2009) established the program to reduce the percentage of adult probationers sent to prison for a probation failure. This bill added Penal Code section 1230, which established the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) as an advisory body to Probation.
Assembly Bill 109 (chaptered on April 4, 2011) and AB 117 (chaptered on June 30, 2011), known as the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011, added Penal Code section 1230.1, requiring that each local CCP develop and recommend a public safety realignment plan (CCP Strategic Plan) to their county Board of Supervisors to maximize the effective investment of criminal justice resources in evidence-based correctional sanctions and programs. It also established an Executive Committee of the local partnership as the voting authority within the CCP for the Strategic Plan.
Yolo County's CCP takes an active and collaborative role in reforming existing corrections practices by emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practices and cost-effective strategies. Considering the significant shift of State responsibilities to local jurisdictions, Yolo County can only afford to implement cost-effective strategies that are known to improve public safety.
2022-23 CCP Annual Report
The Community Corrections Partnership has adopted an annual process for reporting on CCP-funded programs which culminates in an annual report to the Board of Supervisors. The report includes information on the charge, makeup and mission of the CCP; the CCP's Strategic Plan, funding and budget; a summary of CCP-funded programs; and more in-depth detail on outcomes and metrics for a subset of these programs. The recommended action is to receive the 2022-23 Community Corrections Partnership Annual Report as well as a brief presentation on one category of CCP-funded programs -- Collaborative Courts.
Day Reporting Centers (DRC) Background
Since 2013, the CCP has contracted with the Sacramento Office of Education (SCOE) to provide re-entry services for County probationers and State parolees. These services are provided through Day Reporting Centers in Woodland, West Sacramento and in the Yolo County Jail, with the goal of reducing recidivism by successfully reintegrating offenders back into the community.
2022-23 Yolo DRC Annual Report
The contract with SCOE for day reporting center services outlines that they shall prepare an annual report and provide in-person presentations of the outcomes annually to the Community Corrections Partnership and the Board of Supervisors. SCOE presented to the CCP on January 8. The recommended action is to receive the 2022-23 Yolo Day Reporting Centers Annual Report as well as a brief presentation from SCOE.
