Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report | 1 Introduction In July 2012, the Legislature tasked the Office of the Inspector General (the OIG) with monitoring the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s (the department) adherence to The Future of California Corrections: A Blueprint to Save Billions of Dollars, End Federal Court Oversight, and Improve the Prison System (the Blueprint).1 California Penal Code section 6126 mandates that the OIG periodically review the delivery of the reforms identified in the Blueprint, including, but not limited to, the following: 1. The establishment of and adherence to the standardized staffing model at each institution; 2. The establishment of and adherence to the new incarcerated person classification score system; 3. The implementation of and adherence to the comprehensive housing plan described in the Blueprint; 4. Whether the department has increased the percentage of incarcerated persons served in rehabilitative programs to 70 percent of the department’s target population prior to incarcerated persons’ release, and 5. The establishment of and adherence to the new prison gang management system, including changes to the department’s current policies for identifying prison-based gang members and associates, and the use and conditions associated with security housing units.2 In January 2016, the department issued An Update to the Future of California Corrections (the Update), which included a summary of progress made toward goals identified in the Blueprint and new goals identified, as well as the department’s vision for future rehabilitative programming and future safety and security. The Update included a goal to modify the target for rehabilitation to a minimum program participation level. Whereas the Blueprint’s benchmark specified that the department serve 70 percent of its target population in rehabilitative programs prior to release, the Update, along with the department’s new metric for a minimum participation level, did not identify an objective benchmark or standard for the department to achieve. In addition, the Update included an expansion of programs to address in-prison substance abuse treatment and long-term offenders; other new items included several 1.

This 13th report presents the results from the standardized staffing component reviewed in 2023. Data were collected in November– December 2023, with the exception of departmental population figures, which extend through June 30, 2023. This report focuses on a review of standardized staffing of rehabilitative programs. Subsequent reports will provide updates on the other two areas the OIG continues to monitor: rehabilitative programs, and classification and housing. This report on standardized staffing of education programs provides additional information about the department’s rehabilitative staffing levels at each of its adult institutions. Our findings are based on departmental population figures for fiscal year 2022–23. Regarding the department’s standardized staffing for academic education programs, career technical education, and transitions, the OIG found that the vacancy rate was 28 percent for fiscal year 2022–23. 3. An Update to the Future of California Corrections, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, January 2016, p. 9. Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report | 3 OIG Staffing Data Review To address issues of population growth and overcrowding, the department established a standardized budget methodology to provide ratio-driven staffing adjustments as the incarcerated person population fluctuated. In the Blueprint, the department identified the planned staffing patterns for each site. According to the California State Auditor’s January 2019 report on the department’s in-prison rehabilitation programs,4 at that time, the department’s deputy director of rehabilitation programs was cited as stating that an appropriate level of vacancies for rehabilitative programming would be less than 10 percent of budgeted positions. The OIG obtained rehabilitative programming figures for fiscal year 2022–23 from the department’s Division of Rehabilitative Programs to determine the number of vacant staff positions. To make this determination, the OIG reviewed authorized rehabilitation staff position figures per institution and statewide. Education As part of the department’s Division of Rehabilitative Programs, the Office of Correctional Education (OCE) offers various education programs at each of California’s adult institutions. Types of education offered include but are not limited to academic education, career technical education, and transitions courses to assist incarcerated people prepare for release from prison. The department’s objective is to provide incarcerated people with education and career training as part of its broader goal to increase public safety and to reduce recidivism. Most education programs offered are eligible for milestone completion credits (MCC) and educational merit credits (EMC). Educational merit credit is awarded based on demonstrated completion of a diploma, a certificate, or a degree pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 15, section 3043.5 (b). Both MCC and EMC reduce an incarcerated individual’s sentence.5 4. Source: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation: Several Poor Administrative Practices Have Hindered Reductions in Recidivism and Denied Inmates Access to In-Prison Rehabilitation Programs. 5. Educational Merit Credits (EMC) can award up to 180 calendar days for the completion of high school diploma or equivalency programs, higher education degrees, the Peer Literacy Mentorship Program, or the Offender Mentor Certification Program. Milestone Completion Credits (MCC) are awarded for successful completion of rehabilitative or educational programs designed to prepare individuals for employment on release. MCC may be awarded in no less than one-week, but no more than 12-week increments in a 12-month period. The full credit schedule can be viewed here: Milestone Completion Credit Schedule (MCCS) (Rev. October 2022). Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 4 | 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report We reviewed staffing for all education programs during our review. The department budgeted a total of 1,113 positions per month for education during fiscal year 2022–23. At the conclusion of our data collection, we found that there was a statewide vacancy rate of 24 percent for the fiscal year. We provide a further description of the main education types offered by the department in the table on the following page, which summarizes our review of the department’s staffing for its education programs.

The academic education models are as follows: Traditional Education: Incarcerated people without a United States-recognized and verified high school diploma, high school diploma equivalency, or certificate of completion will be placed on a waiting list by the unit classification committee. Incarcerated people are to be assigned to adult basic education (ABE) I, II, III courses, general education diploma (GED) courses, or high school diploma courses, based on their most current reading Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report | 5 grade level.6 Classes are provided five days per week, two hours per day, for a total of 10 hours per week. Postsecondary and Continuing Education (College/eLearning): Incarcerated people with a verified high school diploma or high school diploma equivalency may request to be enrolled and placed on a waiting list by the unit classification committee or by an instructor for college courses. College courses are provided by accredited public and private nonprofit colleges and universities. Courses are offered in person and through distance learning; incarcerated people primarily participate during third watch7 and outside of assigned work and rehabilitative program hours. Courses provided through eLearning are designed to extend learning outside the traditional classroom environment via the Division of Rehabilitative Programs’ television system. Classes are provided five days per week, two hours per day, for a total of 10 hours total per week. Alternative Education: Incarcerated people who are unable to participate in traditional education classes and who also do not have a verified high school diploma, high school diploma equivalency, or certificate of completion, and those with developmental disabilities, may enroll in alternative education courses. These courses include the same subjects offered in Traditional Education, such as adult basic education I, II, III courses, or high school diploma courses. Classes are provided two hours per week, with eight hours of independent study, for a total of 10 hours per week. Student Support Services Program: Incarcerated people classified as part of the Disability Placement Program, Developmental Disability Program, or the Enhanced Outpatient Program and who are enrolled in education are assigned a Resource Specialist Program Instructor who is available to aid them in their traditional education courses. Career Technical Education The department assesses an incarcerated person’s criminogenic needs based on a needs-assessment tool called the Core Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS). Based on the recommendation of an educational administrator, individuals assessed with a need for employment are placed on a waiting list for a 6. The department-provided applicable reading scores: 0.0 – 3.9 for ABE I; 4.0 – 6.9 for ABE II; 7.0 and 8.9 for ABE III; and 9.0 and above for GED. 7. The department’s custody staff, including those in the ranks of captain, lieutenant, correctional counselor, sergeant, and officer, are assigned daily to three eight-hour shifts, called watches. First-watch staff are on duty from 2200 to 0600 hours (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), second-watch staff from 0600 to 1400 hours (6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), and third- watch staff from 1400 to 2200 hours (2:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.).

Individuals with a medium or high need for employment, who have six months to four years remaining on their sentence, receive priority for assignment, which is dependent on class availability. The most widely available CTE classes offered include Computer and Related Technologies, Building Maintenance, Electronics, and Welding. CTE classes are held five days per week, 6.5 hours per day, for approximately six to 18 months, depending on the course.8 Transitions The department has designated classes for the transitions program which provide incarcerated people with skills to aid them in their successful reentry into society. The department offers this program primarily to incarcerated people who are within two years of release or a parole-consideration hearing. The program teaches job readiness, job-search skills, and financial literacy, and provides students with community resources that may assist them as they transition back into the community. As shown in Table 2, our review of vacancy rates for academic education positions showed only four of 34 institutions, or 11.8 percent, had a vacancy rate that met the stated departmental goal of 10 percent or less. Of the remaining institutions, 13, or 38 percent, had vacancy rates between 11 percent and 20 percent. Fifteen institutions, or about 44 percent, were between 21 and 40 percent. The remaining two institutions, or nearly 6 percent were the process of deactivation. Table 2.

Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report | 7 Three institutions with the highest vacancy rates were all in the process of closure during the review period. The reported vacancy rates at California Conservation Center (61 percent), California City Correctional Facility (47 percent), and Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (36 percent) are expected to rise until these three institutions are officially closed.9 The institutions with the highest vacancy rates that were not under deactivation are shown in Table 3 below. California Institution for Women (CIW) had the highest share (37.7 percent), followed closely by Salinas Valley State Prison (SVSP) with 37.5 percent. California Institution for Men (CIM) and Sierra Conservation Center had very similar vacancy rates (36.4 percent and 36.0 percent). The department reported vacancy rates at these institutions were primarily due to CTE vacancies and the closure of facilities at these institutions. Additionally, the department reported Sierra Conservation Center had a hiring freeze as the department attempted to mitigate the closure of the California Conservation Center. Table 3.

Integrated Substance Use Disorder Treatment In January 2020, the department began implementation of the new integrated substance use disorder treatment (ISUDT) program. The ISUDT program, managed by California Correctional Health Care Services, is a comprehensive, evidence-based cross-divisional program. The ISUDT program provides a way of screening, assessing, clinically diagnosing, and linking individuals who have a substance use disorder 9. California Conservation Center closed in June 2023. California City Correctional Facility is expected to close in March 2024. Chuckawalla Valley State Prison is expected to close in March 2025. Office of the Inspector General, State of California Return to Contents 8 | 13th Blueprint Monitoring Report with treatment during incarceration and, subsequently, on their release into the community. The screening process identifies individuals at risk for harm related to substance use disorders and provides treatment that can reduce the risk of overdose or other complications. Clinically indicated treatment may include behavioral interventions, medication- assisted treatment, or a combination of both. Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Program The Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI) program is evidence-based treatment to assist incarcerated individuals in understanding their own behavior and in learning strategies that will enable them to address their own thoughts and emotions. CBI is integrated into the ISUDT program to help change patterns of negative thoughts and behavior; reduce substance use, abuse, and dependency; and improve opportunities for success on release. For those individuals who did not require an SUD program, CBI could be taken alone as Cognitive Behavioral Interventions – Life Skills (CBI-2). Participants who completed CBI were also awarded MCC. The department assigns individuals to one of three program types, according to either their clinically assessed need or a medical referral: CBI-Intensive Outpatient (ISI), CBI-Outpatient (ISO), or CBI-Life Skills (CBI 2). The objective of CBI programming is to eliminate criminal behavioral patterns and substance use, abuse, and dependency. The duration of these programs is listed as follows: • Intensive Outpatient (ISI): Licensed clinical social worker- led cognitive behavioral treatment in two-hour sessions, two days per week, for 90 days • Outpatient (ISO): Three days per week, two hours per day, for approximately 14 weeks • CBI–Life Skills (CBI 2): CBI three days per week, two hours per day, for approximately seven months The enrollment process requires that medical assessments be performed by health care staff. Incarcerated people in these new programs must first complete a medical screening with questions developed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and incarcerated people with positive screening results or other indications of a substance use disorder are then evaluated using a more comprehensive assessment that applies standard criteria managed by the American Society for Addiction Medicine (ASAM). The department provided the average number of counselor vacancies for fiscal year 2022–23. Figure 1 on the next page shows that the department reported that the average number of vacancies was 23.3 percent.

Standardized Staffing for Correctional Staff Standardized staffing for custody is unique. Unlike other state agencies that can fill their ranks with nonposted positions (positions that do not require relief coverage when the employee is absent or the position is vacant), the department is a 24-hour, seven-days-per-week operation, necessitating the need for relief coverage for posted positions. This coverage is essential to the safety and security of correctional missions and is required when the assigned employee is sick or the position is vacant. Posted positions are positions essential to ensure public safety is maintained and to reduce recidivism by maximizing access incarcerated people have to rehabilitative programs, health care, and activities. Standardized staffing rules were developed to identify and determine staffing needs based on multiple factors. The OIG met with the department to discuss its standardized staffing policy. While the department reported having no formal policy in place, its staff provided our staff with a history of standardized staffing as well as guidelines and counting rules used since 2014. The department relies on a detailed matrix of 2,16810 rules for assigning staffing, reflected in five categories of identified staffing need. The department’s standardized staffing team conducts on-site visits of each institution to review facility design, institutional programs, and health care buildings. This team also identifies any special missions, programs, or populations. Table 4 on the next page provides a summary of staffing 10.
