FOREWORD
In July 2012, the oversight role of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was
expanded when the Legislature tasked the OIG with monitoring the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s 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).
To monitor implementation of the Blueprint, the Legislature passed and the Governor
signed legislation adding language to California Penal Code Section 6126 mandating that
the OIG periodically review delivery of the reforms identified in the Blueprint, including,
but not limited to, the following specific goals and reforms described in the Blueprint:
Whether the department has increased the percentage of inmates served in
rehabilitative programs to 70 percent of the department’s target population prior to
their release;
The establishment of and adherence to the standardized staffing model at each
institution;
The establishment of and adherence to the new inmate classification score system;
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 the
department’s security housing units; and
The implementation of and adherence to the comprehensive housing plan described in
the Blueprint.
To assess and monitor the reforms published in the Blueprint, the OIG identified
measurable benchmarks in the Blueprint, researched the various aspects of the
benchmarks, collected and assessed documents and electronic databases, interviewed
numerous staff from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR
or the department) and the Department of Finance (DOF), developed a monitoring tool,
and compared the assessment results with goals identified in the Blueprint. The OIG also
performed on-site reviews at each of the adult institutions that included the review and
reconciliation of documents, interviews of staff, and observations.
This report represents the results of the OIG’s fourth review of CDCR’s implementation
of the Blueprint. It is important to note that many of the reforms contained in the Blueprint
have implementation dates well into 2015 and beyond; therefore, some of the contents of
this fourth report are preliminary. As noted in the OIG’s previous reports, the published
version of the Blueprint issued in 2012 was not final. The staffing standards at some of the
prisons had yet to be assessed, so conceptual staffing standards were published. The
department considers Standardized Staffing Version 5 (SSV5) to be the final version. That
version was not published, but its updated information was provided to the OIG for
assessment.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint Foreword
Office of the Inspector General State of California
According to CDCR management, the department was authorized to amend the detail of
the staffing numbers after completing an overall assessment, but could not exceed the total
departmental staffing numbers identified in the published version of the Blueprint, as
those are the staffing numbers that were ultimately approved by the Legislature during the
budget process. This report is based on information from July 1, 2014, through
September 26, 2014, and subsequent reports will assess progress meeting future
benchmarks and goals of the Blueprint.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint Foreword
Office of the Inspector General State of California
REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS
The department provides in-prison programming to adult offenders, including academic
education, career technical (formerly “vocational”) education (CTE), substance abuse
treatment, cognitive behavioral treatment programs, transitional services, and
employment programs. In the Blueprint, the department indicated its goal is to increase
the percentage of inmates served in rehabilitative programs to 70 percent of the
department’s target population prior to their release. The Blueprint does not identify a
milestone for when the goal is to be met; however, CDCR identifies June 30, 2015, as the
projected completion date.1
The department also makes use of community programming to inmates released from
prison. The department indicated its goal as stated in the Blueprint is to build program
capacity by fiscal year 2013–14 to accommodate 70 percent of parolees who have a need
for substance abuse treatment, employment services, or education within their first year
of being released from prison.
In-Prison Target Population
The department uses concepts identified in the California Logic Model to determine its
target population for rehabilitative programs. That model requires the calculation of the
inmate’s risk to re-offend coupled with an assessment of the inmate’s criminogenic needs
to determine whether the inmate is included in the target population.
The department uses the results of the California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) tool to
identify the inmate’s risk to re-offend. The level of an inmate’s criminogenic need is
assessed based on the results of the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for
Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) tool. If the CSRA results show a high or moderate risk
to re-offend and the results of COMPAS show a high or medium need in any of the
criminogenic categories,2 the inmate becomes part of CDCR’s target population for
rehabilitation.3
Data summarized in the following table indicates that as of September 3, 2014,
96 percent of the 132,723 inmate population had received a CSRA risk assessment and
62 percent had received a COMPAS assessment. Of those inmates with a CSRA
assessment, 69,825 (55 percent) had a high or moderate risk to re-offend. Of those,
1 CDCR’s revised Strategic Plan (draft) identifies June 30, 2015, as the date to reach the 70 percent
rehabilitation goal.
2 The criminogenic need categories can include any of the following: substance abuse, anger, employment
problems (incorporated academic and career technical needs), criminal personality (formerly “criminal
thinking”), and support from family of origin (formerly “family criminality”).
3 Being included in the target population does not necessarily trigger the placement of inmates into specific
programs. The results of COMPAS are used for placement into cognitive behavioral treatment and
employment programs, but CDCR uses individual case factors for placement into other programs, such as
the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) results for placement into academic programs.

56,213 inmates (42 percent) were identified as having a high or medium criminogenic
need, thus representing the target population on that day.

In-Prison Rehabilitation Goal — Current Status
While the department has made progress in implementing some measures to reach some
benchmarks identified in the Blueprint, it still needs marked improvement to attain its
goal of reaching 70 percent of the target population. As seen below, the department has
demonstrated a 45 percent rate of accomplishment (for all and some needs met) during
fiscal year 2013–14. That represents a 10 percent increase from the 35 percent rate
identified in the OIG’s last report.
The following table identifies inmates who were released during fiscal year 2013–14 and
whether they received, prior to release, evidence-based rehabilitative programming in
substance abuse, academic, or career technical education consistent with their
criminogenic needs.5 The numbers in the category of “one need met” indicate that
offenders had criminogenic needs in multiple categories and participated in a
rehabilitative program that was consistent with at least one, but not all, identified needs.
The department considers “all needs met” for inmates who have participated in
rehabilitative services in each of their criminogenic needs. It should also be noted that
whether the inmate attended one day of class or completed the entire program, the
department counts that attendance as participation. The OIG recommends a more
meaningful measure of participation, such as a reasonable program
completion percentage or an average number of days in a program to count as successful
participation.

Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 2 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Although the Blueprint does not set forth a date for achieving the 70 percent
rehabilitation goal, the department’s draft strategic plan identifies June 30, 2015, as the
goal completion date. At the current rate of 45 percent, the department will need to show
significant progress during fiscal year 2014–15 to achieve its goal. It is even more
unlikely that the goal will be attained if the measurement of participation becomes more
stringent, as the OIG recommends, than its current measurement, by which one day
counts as successful participation.
Additionally, the Blueprint calls for an increase in academic and CTE instructors over a
two-year period to increase the number of programs available for inmates. While the
academic education and CTE programs are available at the adult institutions statewide,
the other programs are primarily available at 13 institutions designated as reentry hubs,
geared toward inmates within 48 months of their release. As illustrated in the chart
below, 67 percent of the department’s target population is within 48 months of release;
this illustrates the need for the establishment of reentry hubs to provide rehabilitative
services prior to the inmates’ release.

In-Prison Program Placement — Reentry Hubs
Reentry hubs are established to provide relevant rehabilitation services to inmates who
are within 48 months of being released and who have demonstrated a willingness to take
advantage of such services. The Blueprint identified 13 institutions to be designated as
reentry hubs by providing education, employment, cognitive behavioral treatment, and
substance abuse programs. However, the department’s implementation of certain
programs at these reentry hubs was delayed, due in part to the contract protest process
and no viable bids for some selected sites during the first bid release. Subsequent to the
Blueprint, in December 2012, the department changed the designation of two reentry hub
sites to standard sites (California Correctional Institution and California State Prison,
Solano) and two standard sites to reentry hubs (Ironwood State Prison and California
State Prison, Los Angeles County). Additionally, in September 2013, California
Rehabilitation Center switched from a reentry hub to standard site, and High Desert State
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 3 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Prison became the 13th reentry hub site. According to the department, these changes were
made primarily due to a need for programming for level III and level IV inmates who had
a high or moderate risk to re-offend and were to parole from these security levels.
The table below shows the implementation program status at each of the reentry hubs as
of June 30, 2014. In determining operational status, the OIG determined that a course
needed to have a corresponding instructor, an assigned classroom, and data showing
monthly inmate attendance. Based on OIG fieldwork in July and August 2014, the
department fully implemented only 5 of its 13 designated reentry hubs by fiscal year
2013–14, as planned for in the Blueprint. The remaining reentry hubs had either cognitive
behavioral treatment programs (substance abuse treatment, criminal thinking, anger
management, and family relations) or transitions programs (pre-release program and job
readiness) that were not operational. However, 11 of its 13 reentry hubs were fully
operational by the first three months of fiscal year 2014–15.

According to the department, due to a lack of any viable contract bids for instruction
services during fiscal year 2013–14, there were no substance abuse programs operating at
California State Prison, Los Angeles County, and High Desert State Prison until the
beginning of fiscal year 2014–15. Also, seven other reentry hub programs were delayed
during fiscal year 2013–14 due to protests by potential contractors. The department
successfully awarded contracts at all reentry hubs during fiscal year 2013–14, excluding

Office of the Inspector General State of California
the transitions program contracts at two institutions, Correctional Training Facility and
High Desert State Prison, which are pending approval. Activation of all other programs
occurred in early fiscal year 2014–15, as noted in the previous table.
In-Prison Program Placement — Case Management
According to the Blueprint, a component critical to successful implementation of the
rehabilitation plan is an effective case management system. A case management plan (or
behavior management plan) is an integral part of effective rehabilitation programming.
Case management plans ensure that offenders are assigned to the appropriate programs
based on the relative strengths identified on their criminogenic needs assessments. Case
management plans help staff determine the type, frequency, and timing of programming
an inmate should receive to most effectively reduce the likelihood of his or her
re-offending. This case plan should also transfer with the inmate upon release to parole or
to county supervision; it assists with identifying the most effective follow-up
programming based on programming received at the institution, individual goals met,
symptoms of behavior conditions, or other vital information collected during the course
of incarceration.
The department is currently managing cases by assessing inmates’ needs at reception
centers and using an assignment process based on priority placements, Test of Adult
Basic Education (TABE) scores, and the inmates’ classification levels to make program
placements through its standard classification process. Meanwhile, the department has
been increasing the use of COMPAS assessments as part of the inmate program
assignment process.
In June 2014, the department purchased the Strategic Offender Management System
(SOMS) case plan module. The SOMS classifications and program modules began
production in August 2014. Upon completion of the modules, the department will begin
working on the development, modification, and implementation of the SOMS case plan
management system. The department does not yet have an implementation date for the
case management system.
In-Prison Programs — Miscellaneous Benchmarks
The Blueprint identified miscellaneous benchmarks in its narrative and Appendix B. The
OIG has attempted to monitor the status of the benchmarks wherever there were
measurable figures.
The OIG performed fieldwork to determine the operational status of the various programs
at each institution. In order to determine the operational status of programs, the OIG
acquired the final rehabilitation authorized position counts and the detail of the
authorized positions per institution from CDCR. The OIG then reviewed payroll reports
of rehabilitation employees, reconciled the budgeted positions and discussed any
discrepancies with the education managers at the institutions, reviewed monthly
attendance reports, and conducted spot checks of classrooms. As noted with reentry hub
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 5 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
status, in order to be deemed fully operational, a course needed to have a corresponding
instructor, an assigned classroom, and data showing monthly inmate attendance.
Appendix A provides a detailed comparison of the rehabilitation programs provided at
each institution, identifying the programs as planned for in the Blueprint, and their
operational status as of June 30, 2014. In addition to Appendix A, the following summary
discusses miscellaneous programs identified in the Blueprint and describes their current
status. In short, the OIG’s fieldwork at all prisons found that 87 percent of the academic
education programs are operational, 80 percent of the career technical education (CTE)
programs are operational, and 72 percent of the substance abuse treatment slots are filled.
This represents a 3 percent decrease in academic education programs, a 2 percent
decrease in CTE programs, and a 4 percent increase in substance abuse treatment
participation from that identified for fiscal year 2013–14 in the last OIG report issued in
March 2014.
Academic Education: The Blueprint identified an additional 151 academic teachers to be
added over a two-year period to the department’s staffing of 418 positions, for a total of
569 positions. Of the 151 new positions, 70 were scheduled to become operational in
fiscal year 2013–14. However, in the final version (SSV5), that number was reduced by
eleven positions to establish a substitute teacher pool. The department temporarily held
24 of the 70 positions in abeyance due to several changes in the inmate population.
According to the Office of Correctional Education, the statewide population projections
shown in the Blueprint did not account for restrictions to implementing education
programming, such as physical space available at each institution for classrooms. Also,
the department noted that changes to the inmate classification score system and inmate
transfers to out-of-state facilities impacted the allocation of education positions at
specific institutions. Thus, the department plans to hold these positions in abeyance until
rehabilitation space is available at the DeWitt Nelson Correctional Annex and infill
construction is completed at Mule Creek State Prison and Richard J. Donovan
Correctional Facility.
From July 2014 through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the institutions’ documents
and performed site visits to determine whether 529 academic positions were fully
operational, as shown in Appendix A. At the conclusion of the fieldwork, the OIG found
461 of the 529 positions were fully operational, which represents an 87 percent rate of
compliance. This represents a 3 percent decrease from that identified in the OIG’s last
report.
Career Technical Education: The Blueprint identified an additional 98 CTE instructors to
be added over a two-year period to the department’s staffing of 182 positions, for a total
of 280 positions. Of the 98 positions, 56 were scheduled to become operational in fiscal
year 2013–14. Similar to Academic Education above, the department has temporarily
held 21 of the 56 CTE positions in abeyance since the Blueprint did not account for
certain restrictions implementing CTE, such as shop space and storage. From July 2014
through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the institutions’ documents and performed site
visits to determine whether 262 CTE positions were fully operational. At the conclusion
of the fieldwork, the OIG found 209 of the 262 positions were fully operational, which
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 6 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
represents an 80 percent rate of compliance with the Blueprint. This represents a
2 percent decrease from that identified in the OIG’s last report.
Substance Abuse Treatment: The Blueprint stated that the substance abuse treatment
programs would be located at reentry hubs, but it did not provide new substance abuse
treatment information in its narrative. In Appendix B of the Blueprint, 1,624 slots for
fiscal year 2013–14 were identified.
From July 2014 through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the institutions’ documents
and performed site visits to determine whether 1,624 substance abuse treatment slots
were fully operational. At the conclusion of the OIG’s fieldwork, 1,165 inmates occupied
the 1,624 operational slots, which represent a 72 percent rate of compliance. This is an
increase of 4 percent from the last report. The 1,165 inmates participating in the
substance abuse program are from 11 of the 13 reentry hubs. According to the
department, the two reentry hubs that did not implement substance abuse programs
during fiscal year 2013–14, California State Prison, Los Angeles County, and High
Desert State Prison, subsequently implemented the programs on August 11, 2014, and
September 2, 2014, respectively.
Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), formerly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: The
Blueprint identified these programs to be implemented during fiscal year 2013–14. The
programs include courses in “Criminal Thinking,” “Anger Management,” and “Family
Relationships.” From July 2014 through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the
institutions’ documents and performed site visits to determine whether CBT programs
were implemented. The OIG found that 1,026 of the planned 2,328 slots were fully
operational, which represents a 44 percent rate of compliance. This is an increase of
34 percent from the last report, as the OIG found CBT programs operational at California
Men’s Colony and Ironwood State Prison. The table on page 4 shows that CBT
programming was operational in 10 of the 13 reentry hubs during fiscal year 2013–14.
According to the department, the remaining three reentry hubs implemented CBT
programs from July 2014 through September 2014.
Pre-Employment Transition (PET): The Blueprint identified that the pre-employment
transitions program would be expanded to all reentry hubs. These services were to
include job readiness skills prior to an inmate’s release, primarily during the last six
months of incarceration. From July 2014 through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the
institutions’ documents and performed site visits to determine whether transitions
programs were implemented at the reentry hubs. The OIG found that 222 of the planned
630 slots were fully operational, which represents a 35 percent rate of compliance. This is
an increase of 23 percent increase from the last report, as the OIG found PET programs
operational at three institutions. The table on page 4 shows that the transitions programs
were operational at only 5 of the 13 reentry hubs during fiscal year 2013–14. According
to the department, six reentry hubs implemented transitions programs during July 2014
through September 2014. The remaining two reentry hubs, Correctional Training Facility
and High Desert State Prison, are pending the contract approval process.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 7 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Additionally, the Blueprint stated the California Identification Card program (CAL-ID)
would be implemented to assist eligible inmates in obtaining State-issued
identification cards to satisfy federal requirements for employment documentation.
According to the department, in November 2013, the Division of Rehabilitative Programs
(DRP) entered into a contract with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
through June 30, 2015, to process CAL-IDs for inmates who are being released from
custody. The contract allows up to 12,000 identification cards annually with a maximum
of 1,000 cards per month. The identification cards are being offered to inmates at a
reduced fee, and senior ID cards are offered at no cost. In September 2014, the Governor
signed legislation expanding the CAL-ID program to mandate that all eligible inmates
released from custody have valid identification cards.
From July 2014 through August 2014, OIG staff reviewed the institutions’ documents
and performed site visits to determine whether the CAL-ID program was implemented at
the reentry hubs. The OIG found that the CAL-ID program was implemented at each of
the 13 reentry hubs. According to the department, as of June 30, 2014, more than 3,100
applications have been sent to the DMV for processing. The DMV has approved almost
2,700 applications and sent these cards to the institutions for issuance. The average
eligibility rate is 87 percent.
Designated Enhanced Programming Yards: On January 1, 2014, the department
designated enhanced programming yards to incentivize positive behavior at seven
institutions.6 The designated enhanced programming yards are located at the following
institutions and security levels:
• California State Prison, Corcoran, Level IV
• California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility, Level III
• High Desert State Prison, Level IV
• Kern Valley State Prison, Level IV
• Pleasant Valley State Prison, Level III
• Salinas Valley State Prison, Level IV
• Valley State Prison, Level II
Program enhancements provide primarily volunteer-based and self-help options and may
include access to college degree programs, additional self-help groups, and hobby craft
programs. The implementation process did not require mass transfers of inmates from or
to designated facilities. Inmates residing in an enhanced programming yard were allowed
to remain, provided they were willing to meet the program’s expectations. Inmates who
did not wish to participate or who were ineligible for the program were to be endorsed to
transfer to a non-enhanced-programming yard, while inmates who had been identified as
possible participants were evaluated during the classification process at their annual or
program review. Placement in enhanced programming yards is based on an inmate’s
behavior and willingness to meet programming expectations.
6 The department designated one facility (or yard) at six of the seven institutions, while Valley State
Prison’s entire institution of approximately 3,200 inmates was included as an enhanced programming
facility.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 8 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
From July 2014 through August 2014, the OIG performed site visits at the seven
institutions and interviewed CDCR management responsible for the enhanced
programming facilities. Overall, the OIG found that five of the seven programs were
activated in January 2014, with the remaining two institutions being activated in February
and March 2014. Overall, the roll-out of the new program and program enhancements
were well received. Some of the initial concerns included classification staff
representatives endorsing and transferring ineligible inmates into the enhanced program;
delays in transferring inmates unwilling to participate out of the program; and having
participation of high security level IV inmates regardless of their past behavior. In
June 2014, the department took further steps to remove inmates unwilling to meet
programming expectations with a transfer to a non-enhanced-programming facility.
Long-Term Offender Model: The Blueprint identified the development of a reentry
model designed for long-term offenders to be piloted at three institutions projected to
have a substantial population of long-term offenders. On February 11, 2014, the Office of
Administrative Law authorized the Long-Term Offender Pilot Program (LTOPP).
According to the department, the LTOPP has been implemented at the California Men’s
Colony (CMC), California State Prison, Solano (SOL), and the Central California
Women’s Facility (CCWF). At these institutions, the department has implemented
cognitive behavioral treatment programs that include substance abuse treatment, criminal
thinking, anger management, victim’s impact, and family relations modality components.
Additionally, the Offender Mentor Certification Program continues to provide an
opportunity for long-term inmates to complete a certification program in alcohol and
other drug counseling. Inmates are recruited from various institutions and transferred for
training at one of three sites: the Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF), Valley
State Prison (VSP), or California State Prison, Solano (SOL). Once certified by the
substance abuse service provider Options Recovery, the inmate-mentors are transferred
back to their original institutions and are paid to co-facilitate substance abuse treatment.
The department plans to have up to 36 candidates per training session or 108 candidates
annually.
Sex Offender Treatment: The Blueprint identified the development of services for sex
offenders and piloting of the model at one institution during fiscal year 2013–14. The
treatment program will place a heavy emphasis on skill-building activities to assist with
cognitive behavioral treatment and social, emotional, and coping skills development.
There were 80 slots planned for participants, and the program length was to be 18
months. The department selected the Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (SATF) as the
location for the sex offender treatment pilot and began the bid process in
September 2013. However, the department did not receive any bids for the contract. The
department began working on an interagency agreement with the Department of State
Hospitals for the delivery of the programs. In June 2014, the Department of State
Hospitals discontinued those discussions. The department has been given approval to hire
civil service classifications for the program and is currently working with the University
of Cincinnati’s Corrections Institute on a curriculum and training. To date, the program is
still pending implementation.

Gang Prevention: The department’s step-down program (SDP) provides inmates placed
in the security housing unit (SHU), due to security threat group (STG) validation or
documented STG behaviors, a program that includes increased incentives to promote
positive behavior, including discontinuing participation in STG activities, with the
ultimate goal of release from the SHU. The SDP has been implemented at each SHU
institution—California Correctional Institution (CCI), California State Prison,
Sacramento (SAC), Corcoran State Prison (COR), and Pelican Bay State Prison (PBSP).
The department reports that the SDP is currently not being implemented in female
institutions because no female STG members or affiliates are in the SHU based on an
STG validation.
The program components include pro-social videos, voluntary education program,
self-journaling workbooks, interactive journaling workbooks, thinking for change, and
conflict resolution. The journaling workbooks cover areas like violence prevention,
criminal lifestyle, rational thinking, living with others, substance abuse, and social values.
The Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP) has hired five retired annuitants,
described as having broad administrative or supervisory experience in correctional
administration, at the SHU institutions to facilitate the journaling workbooks and group
activities. The DRP is in the process of hiring five full time staff for the facilitator
positions.
Community Programs for Parolees
Similar to the in-prison rehabilitation program goals, the department’s goal as stated in
the Blueprint is to build program capacity by fiscal year 2013–14 to accommodate
70 percent of parolees who have a need for substance abuse treatment, employment
services, or education within their first year of being released from prison. The Blueprint
identified capacity benchmarks by type that the department intended to meet in order to
accommodate the parolee needs. The table below identifies the number of parolees
identified for each program type shown in the Blueprint and the number of parolees to be
served as reported by the department. By June 2014, the department exceeded the total
annual program capacity (parolees who can be served in each program area in a year)
identified in the Blueprint. Many of the programs available offer multiple types of
services at a single site.

According to the department, the community and reentry programs expanded
pre-employment services to parolees via the increase in day reporting centers (DRCs)
across the State, thereby increasing employment and job development services. There are
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 10 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
currently 22 DRCs and community-based coalitions operating statewide. Along with day
reporting centers, the department has also increased the number of computer literacy
learning centers from 21 in 2012 to 25 centers currently, helping to improve literacy
skills and focus on training skills, life skills, and employment competencies. The
department explained that its decrease in annual capacity for Post-Release Substance
Abuse Treatment was due to a decline in the number of Board of Parole Hearings
referrals to the community portion of the in-custody drug treatment program
Additionally, the department is in the process of developing a tracking mechanism to
identify the percentages of first-year parolees who have participated in community-based
programming based on their assessed needs. In the interim, the department has provided
data identifying the number of parolees released during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2013–14 who were in the target population and participated in a rehabilitative program
consistent with their employment, education, or substance abuse needs. This data can be
used to track the department’s progress in meeting its goal as stated in the Blueprint,
which is to build program capacity by fiscal year 2013–14 to accommodate 70 percent of
parolees who have a need for substance abuse treatment, employment services, or
education within their first year of being released from prison. The Blueprint does not
identify a milestone for when the goal is to be met; however, CDCR identifies
June 30, 2015, as its projected completion date. The following table represents how the
department identified its target parolee population.

Similar to how it calculates its target population for inmates, the department uses the
results of parolees who have shown a moderate-to-high risk to reoffend (5,014) according
to the California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA); and at least one medium-to-high need,
as identified by the Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative
Sanctions (COMPAS) Reentry assessment tool. In the table above, there were 349
parolees (3,810 minus 3,461) who did not have at least one medium-to-high COMPAS
reentry need. Thus, the target population for parolees during the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 2013–14 was 3,461.

STANDARDIZED STAFFING
The department developed a standardized staffing component for its adult institutions,
and in the Blueprint it identified the planned staffing patterns for each site. To address
issues of population growth and overcrowding, a standardized budget methodology
primarily for custody-type services had been established to provide ratio-driven staffing
adjustments as the inmate population fluctuated. When the Blueprint was approved and
incorporated in the 2012–13 Budget Act, the new staffing model was approved, replacing
the old model. Also, legislation was passed in 2012 mandating that the Department of
Finance assess and report on the fiscal benchmarks of the Blueprint, and codified that
requirement in Penal Code Section 5032. Therefore, the OIG did not assess that aspect of
the Blueprint.
Background
The new standardized staffing model identified in the Blueprint includes a baseline level
of staffing for most institution functions to be attained by July 2013. While the
non-custody staffing components for each prison as identified in the Blueprint are not
expected to fluctuate with inmate population changes, the custody staffing levels may
change. The previous staffing model required budget and staffing augmentations
biannually in conjunction with the spring and fall population adjustments, triggering
numerous activations and deactivations in housing units throughout the State every year.
As stated in the Blueprint, the new custody staffing model allows for the safe operation of
housing units with an inmate population between 100 percent and 160 percent of the
unit’s design level. It is expected, therefore, that the inmate population fluctuations will
require fewer budget and staffing adjustments than the old model required.
Goals and Benchmarks
When the Blueprint was published, not all the staffing numbers were final. As stated in
the Blueprint, the staffing standards at some of the prisons had yet to be assessed, so
conceptual staffing standards were published. Additionally, the department was
authorized an additional 333 positions above the Blueprint Appendix B levels due to a
change in the calculation of relief coverage.7 The department considers SSV5 to be the
final version. That version was not published but was provided to the OIG for
assessment.
The staffing components and levels for each institution are identified in Appendix B of
the Blueprint. While the standardized staffing summaries in Appendix B of the Blueprint
identify CDCR’s staffing levels to be attained by July 2013, based on internal
memoranda and fiscal goals, it appears that the standardized staffing levels were
implemented in early fiscal year 2012–13. Nevertheless, the OIG performed the review
based on the July 2013 benchmarks since that was the OIG’s point of reference.
7 The 333 positions are as reported by the Department of Finance.

Review of Staffing Patterns and Payroll
In order for the major reforms laid out in the Blueprint to be met, it is critical that the
standardized staffing levels be implemented, specifically in accordance with the staffing
plan as it relates to housing and security levels. If staffed appropriately, it is assumed the
inmates can be housed as planned and gain access to the rehabilitative services as planned
in a safe and secure manner.
Although the Blueprint provides specific classification detail for custody positions and
program detail for rehabilitation positions, it identifies other positions in summary
format. Therefore, the OIG reviewed budget and payroll reports in summary fashion to
assess the department’s status in terms of overall positions.
As the table below shows, the department complied with its budgeted staffing levels at
the institutions by July 2013. This compliance was identified in the OIG’s previous
report, and, as of September 2014, the payroll data showed 35,627 total employees for the
comparable functions that were identified in the Blueprint at the adult institutions
(excluding medical services employees).

Appendix C contains a statewide summary of the department’s status in attaining the
standardized level of staffing identified in the Blueprint.
In past reports, the OIG performed fieldwork to assess whether the custody staffing
patterns matched the budgeted levels of staffing based on review of actual staff
sign-in/out sheets9 to compare with the standardized staffing reports10 and determine
whether the institutions were consistently staffing the units in accordance with their
budgeted levels. The results of past fieldwork had indicated a 100 percent adherence rate
8 The payroll data is as of September 4, 2014, and was obtained from CDCR. The data represents staffing at
institutions only. The July 2013 Blueprint goals are as they were reported by the Department of Finance.
9 The sign-in/out sheets are daily reports that are used at the prisons to track employee time. The reports
contain pre-printed information, including the position description, shift, and name of the scheduled
employee. These reports were acquired at each institution.
10 The standardized staffing reports are detailed reports of each prison’s major facilities, and the
information supports the summaries in the Blueprint. They also tie to the post assignment schedules that
identify authorized position detail. The reports were obtained from CDCR.

in which the daily staffing patterns matched the standardized staffing plan. Thus, for this
report, the OIG performed this review only at California Health Care Facility (CHCF),
since the staffing activation and staffing model were unavailable for the previous report.
The OIG found that CHCF’s daily staffing pattern matched the standardized staffing
plan.

INMATE CLASSIFICATION SCORE
SYSTEM
The department uses an inmate classification score system (ICSS) to ensure its inmates
are properly housed and supervised. After review of the inmate classification score
system, an expert panel11 concluded in 2011 that the point thresholds used by CDCR to
assign housing could be changed without increasing the risk of serious misconduct. As a
result, the Blueprint stated the department would adjust the point thresholds and file
emergency regulations to adopt the recommendations set forth in the ICSS study with the
Office of Administrative Law by June 2012.
Modification of the Inmate Classification Score System
According to the department, the ICSS is the primary objective factor used to determine
the most appropriate housing and supervision for each inmate. The department’s goal is to
modify the ICSS by changing the point thresholds between the four levels used for
housing purposes. The department anticipates the changes affecting male inmates will
bring about better access to rehabilitative programs, avoid unnecessary over-classification,
and thereby increase success upon release.12 It also anticipates reduced costs since the
higher level of housing corresponds with higher costs to house inmates.
The department’s emergency regulations to implement the expert panel’s
recommendations became effective July 1, 2012. As stated in the Blueprint, the
department expects that by 2015 the new regulations will be fully implemented, and over
9,500 male inmates will have moved from level IV to level III, and over 7,000 male
inmates will have moved from level III to level II. Based on a recent snapshot of data as
of August 14, 2014, it appears the projection of movement is succeeding in reaching its
overall target. The data shows the ICSS score range changes currently affect 16,222
inmates, with the most impact on inmates moving from level III to level II. This does not
necessarily mean that those inmates moved to a lower security level, but only that their
placement score now indicates a lower security housing level than before.

Placement Score Range Inmate Count

11 CDCR commissioned researchers from the University of California system to evaluate the department’s
ICSS and, in collaboration with key CDCR staff, completed a statistical analysis of the current
classification process. The report was issued in December 2011.
12 Female offenders are generally housed together without regard to level (level I to IV) because their
propensity for violence is much lower than that of male offenders.

The institutions and their housing facilities have four designated security levels, level I
through level IV, with level I for minimum security inmates and level IV for maximum
security inmates. The following table displays the changes to the inmate classification
score system, which increased the maximum point threshold for levels II and III and the
minimum point threshold for level IV. An inmate’s classification score (placement score)
determines which level the inmate will be housed in, unless other overriding case factors
exist.

II 19-27 19-35
III 28-51 36-59
IV 52+ 60+
ICSS — Miscellaneous Data Benchmarks
Neither CDCR nor the OIG has a method (other than a manual assessment) to efficiently
identify the number of inmates who moved from one security level to another solely
because of the change in classification score thresholds. This is because an inmate’s
placement score can change for a variety of reasons other than ICSS changes. There are
also administrative determinants, such as camp, medical, mental health program, and
time to serve, which can override scores and show, for example, an inmate with a level II
security score being housed in a level I facility due to a “camp override.” Therefore, it is
difficult to determine whether inmates are moving from one security level to another
solely because of the ICSS score threshold changes.
The OIG’s fieldwork focused on whether inmates were in housing units that matched
their placement score. If not, the OIG considered whether the inmate was awaiting an
endorsement or transfer, or if the inmate’s placement score increased. As shown on the
next page, the review found that 290 of the 330 inmates the OIG reviewed were housed
in traditional housing (security levels I to IV). The other 40 inmates were housed in units
not designated a security level, such as an administrative segregation unit, a reception
center, or a correctional treatment center. Of those 290 inmates in traditional housing,
219 inmates (76 percent) were housed in a security level consistent with their placement
score,13 59 inmates (20 percent) were waiting to be endorsed to a lower security level,
and 12 inmates (4 percent) were waiting to be transferred to a lower security housing
level.
13 Out of the 219 inmates who were shown to be housed in a security level consistent with their placement
score, 24 inmates had an administrative determinant (camp, medical, time to serve, etc.) identified by the
classification staff representative that acted as an “override” to the housing level based on their placement
score.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 17 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Housing Impact Based on ICSS Score Changes
The percentage of inmates housed in a security level consistent with their placement
score and endorsed to a lower level increased by 2 percent, from 78 percent to 80 percent
since the last report. Also, the percentage of inmates awaiting a classification staff
representative (CSR) endorsement increased by 7 percent, from 13 to 20 percent. Thus, to
be able to house and endorse 80 percent of inmates consistently with their placement
score in this targeted group most susceptible to movement (scores in the 28 to 35 or the
52 to 59 range) is encouraging. Although this figure is based on a sample size of 290
inmates, it’s indicative of the department’s effort to reduce costs by moving inmates from
higher level housing to lower level housing that is consistent with their placement score.
To emphasize this, simply because an inmate’s placement score changes after a
classification review and causes the change in security level designation, it does not mean
that the inmate is immediately moved to a housing unit or institution consistent with the
inmate’s placement score. A classification staff representative (CSR) can endorse the
inmate to be moved to a different institution or facility; however, that is basically the
“bus ticket” to be moved. If a bus is not available, the inmate is not moved. Bed space at
the appropriate facility must also be available for the movement to occur. If an inmate is
not moved after a certain amount of time, the endorsement expires and requires CSR
reauthorization.14
The table on the next page provides a snapshot of inmates housed in levels consistent
with their placement score. Inmates can be housed in levels that are not consistent with
their placement scores for a variety of reasons, including bed availability as previously
described. Monthly counts for August 2014 shows that 98 percent of inmates with
placement scores in the level II range were housed at a level consistent with their score
(2 percent were housed in a level III setting). This results in no change from the last
report and maintains the increase of 28 percent from the second OIG Blueprint report, in
which only 70 percent of level II inmates were housed at a level consistent with their
14 The endorsements by the CSR have expiration dates because the information becomes outdated. For
example, an inmate can be endorsed to be transferred to another prison after an evaluation of enemy
concerns at the prospective prison. If four months elapse before the transfer, the endorsement needs to be
reauthorized because another inmate with an enemy concern may have arrived at that prospective prison.

score. The percentage of inmates housed in levels III and IV consistent with their score
also increased slightly by 1 percent since the last report. As stated previously, the
placement score is one of many factors that determine what security level the inmates are
housed in.

GANG MANAGEMENT
The Blueprint identified several measures recommended as a result of 2007 study entitled
“Security Threat Group Identification and Management” performed by the California
State University, Sacramento. The Blueprint stated the department could now begin a
careful implementation of the recommendations, including offering graduated housing, a
step-down program for inmates, support and education for disengaging from gangs, a
weighted point system for gang validation, specific use of segregated housing, and social
value programs in preparation for the inmate’s return to the community. Since the
Blueprint was launched prior to the department establishing its pilot program for gang
management, it did not include any target dates or certain benchmarks to be achieved.
However, the OIG continues to monitor the department’s progress of its pilot program
and key areas included in its plan.
Security Threat Group — Pilot Program Status
The department’s 24-month pilot program, October 18, 2012, through October 17, 2014,
is entitled “Security Threat Group Identification, Prevention, and Management
Instructional Memorandum” (STG Plan). On January 31, 2014, the department’s
proposed security threat group regulations were opened for public comment by the Office
of Administrative Law. Subsequently, the chairpersons of both the Assembly and Senate
Committees on Public Safety convened a second joint public hearing on
February 11, 2014, on issues relating to segregated housing policies in California’s
prisons. During its written public comment period, the department received over 600
comments from more than 300 commenters. The department reviewed all comments and
made several modifications to its regulatory text. On June 20, 2014, the updated proposed
regulations were opened for a second public comment period. As a result of this re-notice
period, the department received over 60 comments, and no significant changes were
made to the proposed regulations. On September 5, 2014, the department submitted its
final rulemaking package for approval by the Office of Administrative Law, which
determines whether regulations can be made permanent. The revised regulations were
approved by the Office of Administrative Law on October 17, 2014.
Security Threat Group — Gang Management Program
To combat gangs, the department has historically identified gangs with the greatest
propensity for violence and has separated the offenders from the general inmate
population by placement into security housing units.15 The department’s policy for
15 Title 15, California Code of Regulations, Section 3341.5 (c), provides for “an inmate whose conduct
endangers the safety of others or the security of the institution” to be housed in a security housing unit
(SHU). Inmates may be placed in a SHU for either a determinate or an indeterminate term. Inmates
sentenced to determinate terms in SHUs are those who have been found guilty through a formal
disciplinary process of having committed one or more specified serious offenses ranging from murder to
threatening institution security. Title 15, California Code of Regulations, Section 3341.5(c)(2)(A)(2), in
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 20 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
identifying prison-based gang members and associates and isolating them from the
general population is to be replaced with a new model that identifies, targets, and
manages security threat groups (STGs)16 and utilizes a behavior-based step-down
program (SDP) for validated affiliates.17 The STG Plan allows gang affiliates an
opportunity to work their way from a restricted program back to the general population
by demonstrating a willingness and commitment to discontinue gang activity during their
incarceration. This new policy addresses validated affiliates with indeterminate SHU
terms. It does not address inmates with determinate SHU terms (inmates in SHUs for
non-gang-related behavior).
The department initiated Phase I of the STG Plan by conducting case-by-case reviews for
currently validated affiliates housed in SHU facilities. As part of the review, the
Departmental Review Board (DRB) determines an inmate’s appropriate placement or
retention within the SHU, placement within the SDP, or release to a general population
facility (step 5 of the SDP). Additionally, during Phase II of the STG Plan, the
department initiated institution case-by-case reviews of validated inmates housed within
administrative segregation units (ASU), who are endorsed for transfer to SHU facilities.
The department noted the case-by-case reviews were to be provided to all existing
validated STG members and associates. These reviews provide an opportunity for
potential release to general population (step 5) or further retention in the SHU within one
of four programming steps of the SDP (steps 1 through 4). The department intends to
continue this process until all inmates validated prior to March 1, 2013, have received a
case-by-case review. The table below identifies the validated affiliate inmate populations
at each institution within CDCR.

contrast, specifies an indeterminate SHU term for validated prison gang members and associates, who are
deemed “a severe threat to the safety of others or the security of the institution.”
16 The term “security threat group” will generally replace the terms “prison gang,” “disruptive group,” or
“street gang” within CDCR.
17 Affiliates are individual offenders (inmates) identified as “members,” “associates,” or “monitored,” who
are connected or interact with a certified security threat group.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 21 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
One of the key components to the new STG Plan is that validated STG associates will no
longer be automatically placed into the SHU (or a SDP) based solely upon their
validation as an STG associate. The STG Plan incorporates a requirement that in addition
to formal validation, an associate must also demonstrate STG disciplinary behavior18 as
part of his or her initial validation (or subsequent to initial validation), to be considered
for placement in the SHU or the SDP. If documented STG behavior occurred within the
past four years and is determined credible by the DRB, the board will then determine the
appropriate step for placement consideration based on when the behavior occurred.
However, if no documented STG behavior was found to have occurred within the past
four years, an inmate will be released to general population (step 5), typically to a level
IV institution for a period of one year. The step 5 inmate is identified as being on
“Inactive Monitored” status and would be eligible for transfer to an alternate institution
consistent with his or her placement score after 12 months of STG discipline-free
behavior.19 The table below shows the time frames of documented STG behavior that the
DRB considers when determining the appropriate SDP placement.

13 to 24 months Step 2
25 to 36 months Step 3

(General Population)
As shown in the following table, documents from the department display that through
September 17, 2014, the DRB had reviewed a total of 693 cases at the five SHU
facilities. This was an increase of 240 cases since the last OIG report issued in
March 2014. Of the 693 cases reviewed, the department approved 482 inmates
(70 percent) for release to general population (Step 5) and placed 203 inmates
(29 percent) in step 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the SDP. The remaining eight inmates were released to
a transitional housing unit or general population setting as part of the debriefing process.
18 The department initiated Phase III of the STG Plan on January 21, 2014. Phase III incorporated its “STG
Disciplinary Matrix for STG Related Behavior or Activity.” The Disciplinary Matrix includes STG
behaviors or activities (with a nexus between the behavior and identified STG) separated into
Administrative Rule Violations and Serious Rule Violations. The matrix is to be used as a tool to assist
department staff in identifying STG-related behavior and to determine the seriousness of the behavior.
19 Inactive Monitored inmates will be allowed to remain in general population unless the inmates
demonstrate additional STG-related behavior (shown in the STG Disciplinary Matrix). If the inmate is
issued a Rules Violation Report (RVR) and found guilty of one Serious Rules Violation with an STG nexus
or two Administrative Rules Violations with a STG nexus within a 12-month time frame, the affiliate will
be processed for placement into the SDP.

The department is also conducting institution case-by-case reviews for inmates validated
prior to March 1, 2013, who will be retained in the ASU until a case-by-case review is
conducted. These inmates are housed in the ASU at various institutions throughout the
State. The reviews are conducted by the institution classification committee (ICC). As
shown in the table below, documents from the department display that through
September 17, 2014, the ICC had reviewed a total of 245 cases. Of the 245 cases
reviewed, the department approved 156 inmates (64 percent) for release to general
population and placed 55 inmates (22 percent) in steps 1, 2, or 3 (no inmates have been
placed in step 4) of the SDP. The remaining 34 inmates were retained in the ASU due to
safety concerns, debriefing, or disciplinary reasons. The total number of ICC case
reviews increased by only seven cases since the last OIG report. The department
explained that as of June 25, 2014, the 254 inmates remaining in the ASU, who were
validated prior to March 1, 2013, will undergo a DRB case-by-case review as bed space
becomes available in the SHU.

The DRB and ICC hearings resulted in the release of 638 of the 938 inmates (68 percent)
to a general population setting (DRB-step 5 or ICC-release to GP) commensurate with
their individual case factors. Of the 638 inmates, 482 were placed in step 5 and require
one year of observation within a level IV general population. If the inmate refrains from
STG activity for that year, the inmate’s case factors would be reviewed and the inmate
would have the opportunity to return to a general population setting commensurate with
his or her individual case factors. Of the 638 inmates, 156 had received an ICC hearing
and were to be released directly into a general population setting without having to serve
a year of observation. There were 258 inmates placed within one of four programming
steps of the SDP. SDP inmates placed in steps 1 through 4 typically serve one year in
their assigned step before an ICC will determine if the inmates will continue with their
assigned step, progress to the next step, or regress. The remaining 42 inmates were
released to a transitional housing unit or to a general population setting as part of the
debriefing process, or were retained in the ASU due to safety concerns, debriefing, or
disciplinary reasons.
As of September 17, 2014, 23 months since the pilot began, the department has
conducted 938 case-by-case reviews, which represents 35 percent of its STG population
(2,676 inmates) who were validated prior to March 1, 2013. This represents an increase
of 247 case-by-case reviews identified in the prior report. The OIG estimates the
department will complete 979 case-by-case reviews (37 percent) of its STG inmate
population by the conclusion of the pilot program, which is a 2 percent increase from the
OIG’s last report.20 At its current rate, the OIG estimates that the department may spend
more than three years completing case-by-case reviews on all validated inmates.
Although there were no benchmarks in the Blueprint or STG Case Plan to complete a
certain number or percentage of case-by-case reviews, the department should endeavor to
timely complete these reviews. The department intends to continue this process until all
inmates validated prior to March 1, 2013, have received a case-by-case review. The OIG
will continue to monitor and report on the case-by-case reviews completed.
Security Threat Group — Step-Down Program Notice of
Expectations
The OIG’s review of the SDP “Notice of Expectations” (steps 1 through 4) and “Notice
of Conditions of Monitored Status” found 54 percent of inmates (53 of the 97) did not
have a documented notice.21 These advisement forms provide notification to the inmate
of the SDP requirements, including participation in all mandated educational and
cognitive behavioral treatment instruction (steps 1 through 4), the need to remain
20 The estimate from the OIG’s previous report was based on an estimate of 952 case-by-case reviews from
an STG population of 2,735 inmates who were in CDCR custody as of February 24, 2014. According to the
department, 2,676 inmates were currently in CDCR custody as of June 25, 2014, and validated prior to
March 1, 2013.
21 The department’s “Step-Down Program Notice of Expectations” outlines the goals, expectations for
successful completion, and potential consequences for failure to fully participate. The notice includes a date
the document was issued to the inmate. The department previously discontinued its signature requirement
(“SDP Participant Contract”) for an inmate’s participation in the SDP effective January 21, 2014.

Office of the Inspector General State of California
disciplinary free, and activities that would cause return to a previous step of the SDP.
This lack of documentation and notification to the inmate makes it unclear whether the
inmate is fully aware of the Step-Down Program requirements and expectations and may
raise due process issues if an inmate has failed in the program without receiving notice.
With the department’s 24-month pilot program having recently commenced on
October 17, 2014, there is more work necessary to improve the department’s efforts to
provide and document a notice of expectations for all inmates assigned to the SDP.
Security Threat Group — Status Report of SDP Inmates
(Steps 1 Through 4)
As outlined in the Notice of Expectations form, the STG Plan requires an offender in
steps 1 through 4 to participate in inmate programming or journaling before progressing
to the next step. As part of the pilot, inmates placed in steps 1 and 2 were to have
program assessments initiated, such as TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) testing and
COMPAS assessments. Inmates placed in step 3 can participate in self-directed journals
that are intended to develop a system of values and strategies leading to responsible
thinking and behavior. Step 4 inmates may have programming that includes education,
violence prevention programs, and gang diversion programs. If an inmate refuses to
participate in the SDP, including inmate programming or journaling, the inmate will
return to a previous step or regress further.
The OIG’s fieldwork reviewed the current status of 59 inmates22 who were assigned to
the SDP (steps 1 through 4) for at least 12 months to determine whether an inmate’s
performance in his or her assigned step was documented, and to identify the result of the
ICC review.23 As summarized in the following diagram, the OIG found that 29 of the 59
inmates (49 percent) successfully progressed to the next step; 16 inmates (27 percent)
were retained in their current step; 13 inmates (22 percent) had regressed to a lower step
based on their refusal to participate in the SDP; and the remaining inmate (2 percent) was
removed from the SDP for an attempted homicide of another inmate.
22 Based on the review of department data, the OIG identified 85 SDP inmates, as of June 5, 2014, assigned
to Steps 1 through 4. From the 85 inmates, the OIG selected 71 inmates for review but found 12 inmates
(11 inmates paroled during the 12-month period in their assigned step and 1 inmate was out to court) did
not have an ICC conducted after 12 months. Thus, the review consisted of 59 inmates (69 percent) who
were in the SDP and underwent an ICC review.
23 As part of the STG Plan, the department conducts institutional classification committee (ICC) program
reviews to monitor the progress and behavior of inmates within the SDP. Each step is designed to be
completed in 12 months but may be accelerated at the 180-day review. The ICC typically discusses an
inmate’s retention in current step, regression to beginning of the current step, regression to a prior step,
and/or reduction in privilege levels.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 25 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Status of Inmates Placed in Steps 1 Through 4 of the Step-Down Program (SDP)
*The 11 inmates who paroled and one inmate “out to court” during their 12 months in the Step-Down Program (SDP) were
excluded from this summary.
The percentage of inmates who progressed based on active participation in the SDP
increased by 42 percent since the last OIG report (which did not exclusively sample
inmates in the SDP for at least 12 months). However, this increase is countered by the
high percentage of inmates refusing to participate in the SDP. As shown in the diagram
on the next page, the OIG found that 27 of the 29 inmates (93 percent) from the “retain”
and “regress” categories refused to participate in the SDP. The inmate refusals were
documented as “will not participate” (20 inmates); “will not participate in journaling”
(7 inmates); “will not participate in programming” (1 inmate); and “other reasons”
(1 inmate). Thus, strictly considering those inmates who refuse to participate in the SDP,
46 percent (27 of the 59 inmates) may remain in the Step-Down Program beyond the
four-year step-down period. Since inmates refusing to participate are typically retained or
regressed in step 1, they will not earn credit toward completion of the 12 months required
(before proceeding to step 2). To avoid this, an inmate must notify his or her correctional
counselor or case manager of a renewed intention to participate in the SDP.
The OIG’s review of SDP progress notes show SDP facilitators are inquiring into the
specific reasons why inmates refuse to participate, such as declining to complete journals
and having safety concerns from non-step-down-program inmates. One example of
inquiries performed by an SDP Facilitator emphasizes how inmate’s concerns can be
altered. After nine months in the program, an inmate in step 1 claimed never receiving
SDP materials; however, the OIG found the inmate had previously refused to sign the
STG advisement of expectations and SDP contract (which was discontinued as of
January 21, 2014) provided by the department. Additionally, at the one-year ICC review,
the SDP Facilitator noted previously interviewing and hand-delivering the inmate an STG
pilot memorandum, SDP pamphlet, and an orientation journal. The facilitator stated
“inmate politics” were the cause for inmate’s refusal and said that institution management
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 26 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
was attempting to resolve this. The SDP Facilitator conducted a follow-up interview, and
the inmate stated he now wanted to participate in the SDP and was then provided a step 1
journal.
As the pilot program is set to expire, the success of the new Step-Down Program is
dependent on an inmate maintaining acceptable behavior. However, the department must
continue to obtain and evaluate the reasons for refusal and consider further education or
other modifications to overcome its current obstacles for success.
Security Threat Group — Status Report of SDP Inmates
(Step 5)
The STG Plan allows an offender placed in step 5 by the DRB’s case-by-case review to
be “conditionally” released from the SHU to general population. The offender is placed
on “Inactive Monitored” status, and with 12 months of STG discipline free behavior, will
be released to general population.
The OIG’s fieldwork reviewed the status of 32 inmates assigned to step 5 of the SDP for
at least 12 months to determine whether an inmate remained discipline free, and if the
inmate remained in general population or was returned to the SHU.24 The OIG reviewed
classification chrono forms (annual reviews) documenting the results of the ICC hearing
for the 32 step 5 inmates. The OIG’s review found that 21 of the 32 inmates (66 percent)
did not identify whether the inmate was in step 5 of the SDP or whether the inmate
successfully completed the 12-month observation period. The remaining 11 inmates had
documentation supporting the inmate’s success in step 5 and completion of the 12-month
observation. Thus, inmates are being “conditionally” released from SHU housing to
general population; however, the majority of ICC classification chrono’s are not
documenting the results of the observation period and notifying the inmate that he or she
is no longer subject to inactive monitoring.
24 Based on the review of department data, the OIG identified 146 inmates placed in step 5 for at least 12
months, as of June 5, 2014. From the 146 inmates, the OIG selected 34 inmates (23 percent) to review; the
OIG subsequently found that 2 inmates had paroled during their 12 month observation period. Thus, the
OIG reviewed 32 inmates who were released to a GP facility—level III (2 inmates) or level IV (30
inmates).

COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING PLAN
The department updated its comprehensive housing plan and incorporated the
components identified in the Blueprint. Those components include changes to the inmate
classification score system creating anticipated changes in housing and population
density levels, construction, renovations, conversions, activations, closures, and changes
to contract beds and fire camp population. The results of the comprehensive housing plan
are primarily summarized in Appendix B of the Blueprint at the institution level.
Institution Housing Plans
The institution housing plans identify design and staff capacity as well as the custody
level and program assignment for each housing unit at each institution. Since neither the
housing plans nor the narrative identify an implementation date, for the purposes of
review, the OIG assumed that the institution housing plans became effective when the
Blueprint was approved, which was when the 2012–13 Budget Act was signed.
The Blueprint does not provide the detail regarding the housing plans prior to the
Blueprint changes. Therefore, the OIG does not have a starting point for the level of
detail the new housing plans provide. This is critical because although the OIG is
attempting to monitor monthly activation and deactivation plans, some of the plans the
OIG has reviewed call for an activation of a housing unit to the custody level and
program assignment consistent with what is already in the housing plan in the Blueprint.
Because of a lack of “before-Blueprint” data, the OIG relied primarily on the institutions’
shift count reports and departmental population data to determine whether housing units
are being used in accordance with the Blueprint housing plans. The OIG did not attempt
to reconcile the housing plans to the program assignment level but rather to the custody
levels.
The OIG obtained “positive shift count” reports at each institution.25 Although those
reports do not identify custody level and program assignment, they do provide inmate
population counts for each housing unit. The OIG was then able to determine whether
inmates are being housed at each housing unit within a level reasonably consistent with
the level identified in the housing plan. The OIG found that the inmate housing is
consistent with the housing plan in most instances. In fact, of the 935 housing units
identified in the Blueprint, the OIG found 901 housing units (96 percent) to be
operational.26 There was one institution, California Rehabilitation Center, where a few of
25 “Positive shift count” reports are reports generated at each prison at standard intervals throughout each
day and accessible via the Strategic Offender Management System (SOMS). The reports contain data of the
number of inmate counts in each housing unit within each facility or major yard and at each prison. The
reports also identify the number of inmates either off grounds or at special areas of the prison, such as
being out to court, out to a medical appointment, at education, or in the administration building.
26 The 935 housing units identified in the Blueprint include 29 housing units of the California Health Care
Facility, which includes five units occupied by inmates in the DeWitt Nelson Correctional Annex that
became operational in April 2014.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 28 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
the housing units are uninhabitable and have remained closed since the OIG’s initial
report.
The OIG used a download of electronic population data to compare the current
population by security level at each institution with the security level capacities identified
in the Blueprint housing plans. The data also contained detailed information regarding
program types. This approach provided validation that the housing of inmates is
consistent with the housing plans identified in the Blueprint as the plan relates to the
inmate population levels by both housing levels and program types.
The results of the OIG’s fieldwork review during July and August 2014 are displayed in
Appendix D of this report as a statewide summary of the housing capacities identified in
the Blueprint for each institution and a statewide summary for the housing units.
Housing Plan — Miscellaneous Benchmarks

Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 29 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
New Construction: Two specific construction projects were underway at the department
when the Blueprint was released: the California Health Care Facility (CHCF) in Stockton
was to be activated by summer 2013, and an annex to the CHCF was being constructed.
The annex will be built over the former DeWitt Nelson Youth Correctional Facility and
was planned to be completed by June 2014.
The OIG’s review found each of these construction projects were completed on schedule
in August 2013 for CHCF and March 2014 for the CHCF annex. The first inmate was
received at the CHCF annex on April 1, 2014. The department reports that the activation
schedule will be gradual with full occupancy anticipated in early 2015.
Health Care Facility Improvement Program (HCFIP): The Blueprint noted the health care
facility improvement program was to perform facility assessments and provide upgrades
in existing prisons to ensure adequate clinical and support service spaces were available
to meet the treatment needs of inmate-patients. These improvements planned to address
the facility needs of outpatient medical care throughout the entire adult prison system.
The HCFIP planned to first target the intermediate care prisons where inmates require
more intensive medical care. Improvements were to focus on addressing infection control
issues, such as hand-washing facilities and the separation of clean and soiled supplies.
They were also to provide the physical separation necessary to provide inmate-patient
privacy with nursing and physician staff, as mandated by the federal Health Information
Portability and Accountability Act. Also, the Statewide Medication Distribution Project is
part of the HCFIP and is to remedy deficiencies in medication distribution at State prison
facilities.
Based on the assessments, the department determined that HCFIP projects were needed at
31 institutions. Each of the specific HCFIP projects has been established by the State
Public Works Board and is in varying stages of design, with the estimated construction
completion dates to occur in 2016 and 2017. Also, in August 2014, the Statewide
Medication Distribution Project received approval to commence construction from the
State Fire Marshal (SFM) and the Department of Finance; pre-construction procurement
activities have begun.
During on-site reviews, the OIG requested information on the status of two projects at
California Medical Facility and California State Prison, Solano, since the projected start
of construction was planned for July 2014. The OIG found that both prisons had revised
the projected start of construction to February 2015. The department explained the
construction phase is based upon receiving approval from the Department of Finance.
Once this phase begins, there is a period of three to four months before actual
construction begins on the site. During this period, the contractor is procuring equipment
and providing submittals for the department’s review. By the end of this period, the
contractor should be on-site with an office and equipment and beginning actual
construction activities. The OIG will continue to monitor the progress of the HCFIP
projects.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 30 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
Infill Construction: The Blueprint identified some infill construction projects due to a
higher need for level II housing. The projects identified include the DeWitt Nelson
Correctional Annex and the construction of three new facilities to house approximately
800 inmates, each to be built at existing facilities. The status of the DeWitt Nelson
Correctional Annex is discussed above. The following provides the status of the three
other infill projects.
Senate Bill 1022 (Chapter 42, Statutes of 2012) authorized the design and construction of
three level II facilities adjacent to one or more of the following seven facilities: California
Institution for Men; California Medical Facility; California State Prison, Sacramento;
California State Prison, Solano; Folsom State Prison; Mule Creek State Prison; and
Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.
The Public Works Board took action on September 11, 2012, to authorize the 800-bed
infill projects, with two slated to be built at Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP) for 1,600
beds, and one at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility (RJD) for 800 beds.
However, in December 2012, the Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) regarding the proposed projects included proposals for evaluations at all
seven institutions. Scoping hearings took place in mid to late January 2013, and formal
written comments were due in early February 2013. The department submitted the EIR
document for public comment, and that process was completed. A Notice of
Determination was filed with the State Clearinghouse in November 2013 identifying the
department’s intention to construct two projects at MCSP and one at RJD. The design
build contract for MCSP was executed in March 2014, and the contract for RJD was
executed in April 2014. Construction activities have commenced at both locations, and
inmate occupancy for both projects is anticipated for early 2016.
Contract Capacity: The Blueprint articulates the department’s plan to eliminate
out-of-state contracted inmate beds by June 30, 2016. The plan is also to reestablish up to
1,225 additional community correctional facility (CCF) beds once the out-of-state
inmates return. The Blueprint projected an out-of-state inmate population drop from
9,588 inmates on June 27, 2012, to 4,596 inmates by December 27, 2013. Population
reports show this benchmark was not met, as over 8,800 inmates were housed out of state
during this benchmark date.
In September 2013, the passage of Senate Bill 105 authorized the department to increase
its level of contracted beds both in and out of state. The bill provides an immediate
measure to avoid early release of inmates and allow the State to comply with the
three-judge court order. The bill authorized the activation of California City Correctional
Facility (CAC), a private prison located in Kern County. CAC is the first leased facility
to be operated by the department. The facility is to house 2,400 level II general
population inmates in celled housing. Inmates began transferring to CAC on
December 16, 2013, and as of October 1, 2014, a total of 2,240 inmates were housed
there, which is an increase of 1,403 from the last OIG report published in March 2014.

Office of the Inspector General State of California
Inmates housed in public Modified Community Correctional Facilities (MCCFs) within
California, as shown in the table below, are to assist with the reduction of in-state prison
overcrowding. In December 2013, the department requested activation of 578 and 640
contracted beds with the Cities of Delano and Shafter, respectively. In March 2014, the
department activated the Taft facility with plans for up to 600 inmates. The department
also activated and increased capacity at other private MCCFs, including Central Valley,
Desert View, and Golden State. As of September 3, 2014, the department had a total of
3,870 inmates housed in its public and private MCCFs. This was a total increase of 973
inmates from the OIG’s last report, issued in March 2014, when 2,897 inmates were
housed in MCCFs.

Population Density Levels: Appendix F of the Blueprint identified some projections
regarding male inmate population density levels. Other than the projections themselves,
there are no goals or benchmarks to monitor. Based on inmate population as of
September 3, 2014, the table below compares the actual density (overcrowding) rates in
comparison to the goals for six security level bed types. Most of the rates fall within the
established goal with the exception of the level II beds, which significantly exceed the
goal by 32 percent. This supports the department’s need to increase the number of level II
beds planned at the DeWitt Nelson Correctional Annex and infill construction at MCSP
and RJD. Also, the recent activation of CAC will assist the department in lowering its
overcrowding rate. Per the chart below, the overcrowding rate for level II housing will
also be aided by the additional 2,400 beds from the infill projects.

Office of the Inspector General State of California
Housing Plan — Global Benchmarks
The Blueprint noted the department was under federal court order to reduce prison
overcrowding to 137.5 percent of overall design-bed capacity by June 2013.
Subsequently, the department was granted an extension to April 18, 2014, to reach that
goal. After appeals of the order by the department, the three-judge court granted a
two-year extension to February 28, 2016. Additionally, on July 3, 2014, the three-judge
court extended the 143 percent benchmark deadline from June 30, 2014, to
August 31, 2014. The order requires the department to reduce its prison population in
three stages, or “benchmarks,” as follows:
1) 143 percent of design capacity by August 31, 2014;
2) 141.5 percent of design capacity by February 28, 2015; and
3) 137.5 percent of design capacity by February 28, 2016.
In September 2014, the department submitted its status and benchmark report to the
three-judge court supporting that it met the 143 percent benchmark. The department
provided its in-state prison population of 116,269, as of September 10, 2014. The inmates
were housed in the State’s 34 adult institutions with a design bed capacity of 82,707,
which amounts to 140.6 percent of design bed capacity, below the 143 percent
benchmark of August 31, 2014 (and the February 2015 benchmark of 141.5 percent).
Future OIG reports will continue indicating whether the department has met the
remaining benchmarks.
Fourth Report on CDCR’s Progress Implementing the Blueprint 33 of 81
Office of the Inspector General State of California
CONCLUSION
On a positive note, the department continues to meet the Blueprint goals set in
standardized staffing, and the application of the new inmate classification score system,
which presumably will continue to translate into cost savings for the State. The
department is also adhering to the comprehensive housing plan and construction goals set
in the Blueprint, though the OIG will continue to monitor a few large-scale construction
projects remaining to be completed. Recently, the department reportedly met its
benchmark to reduce prison overcrowding to 143 percent by August 31, 2014. The
department has been addressing its in-state prison overcrowding with the activation of a
California City Correctional Facility and increased capacity at public and private
Modified Community Correctional Facilities as well as ongoing in-fill projects. These
contracts will presumably offset savings gained elsewhere.
The department has room for improvement in meeting its rehabilitative benchmarks and
improving results in its two-year Security Threat Group (STG) Step-Down Program pilot.
While the department did not fully implement all programs at its reentry hubs by fiscal
year 2013–14 they implemented most within the first three months of fiscal year
2014–15. The biggest challenge remains increasing the percentage of inmates served in
rehabilitative programs to 70 percent of its target population by June 30, 2015.
The OIG found that 87 percent of the academic education programs are operational,
which represents a 3 percent decrease from the last report. The OIG found that 80 percent
of the career technical education programs are operational, which represents a 2 percent
decrease from the last report. The OIG also found that 72 percent of the substance abuse
treatment slots are filled, which represents a 4 percent increase from the last report. These
figures take into account that the department is holding 24 academic teachers and 21
career technical education teachers in abeyance until the infill construction projects are
completed. Additionally, even though this report shows a minor percentage decrease in
education and career technical education programming, overall since the Blueprint began,
the number of program opportunities and participation has risen significantly.
Currently the review of department reports shows that only 45 percent of its target
population is having either all its rehabilitative needs met or at least one identified need
met. However, the OIG still recommends that if the department uses as the definition for
successfully meeting a rehabilitative need the presence of an inmate in one program for
one day, then the department should provide statistics showing the actual amount of time
spent in programs for the inmates being counted.
The department fully implemented 5 of its 13 designated reentry hub institutions during
fiscal year 2013–14. The OIG found that academic education and career technical
education was fully implemented at all reentry hubs; however, some employment,
cognitive behavioral treatment, and substance programs were not fully implemented until
the first three months of fiscal year 2014–15, excluding employment programs at two
institutions. The department is currently pending approval of the employment

Office of the Inspector General State of California
(“transitions”) program at those institutions—Correctional Training Facility and High
Desert State Prison. Also, it is noted that the department has been negatively impacted by
changes, delays, and protests in its establishment of its 13 reentry hubs.
In addition, although almost half (49 percent) of STG inmates showed progress once they
are placed within the Step-Down Program, nearly half of all inmates (46 percent) may
remain in the program beyond the four-year period before earning their release to general
population due to refusal to participate. Furthermore, at its current pace, the department
will take more than three years after its pilot ends in October 2014 before all of its
applicable STG population is reviewed.
The department established the new prison gang management system in October 2012
and is completing its 24-month pilot to implement and assess the new procedures. Thus
far, 938 inmates have been assessed and 638 inmates (68 percent) were released from a
security housing unit setting (or potentially avoided entering a security housing unit from
administrative segregation) into a general population setting as a result of the
case-by-case reviews. This is an encouraging statistic toward eventually moving SHU
inmates to a general population setting. The department increased its pace of reviews
slightly by 2 percent (35 percent to 37 percent) since the OIG’s last report. Although
there were no benchmarks identified in the Blueprint or STG Case Plan to complete a
specific number or percentage of case-by-case reviews, a more rapid pace of reviews may
have been expected by the legislature and stakeholders. According to the department, this
deliberate pace is directly related to reviewing the most violent and sophisticated STG
members and associates with caution as it implements this pilot program to enhance
safety and security. The department intends to continue this process until all inmates
validated prior to March 1, 2013, have received case-by-case reviews.
The percentage of inmates who progressed to the next step based on active participation
in the Step-Down Program (SDP) increased by 42 percent since the last OIG report
(which did not exclusively sample inmates in the SDP for at least 12 months). However,
the OIG did note a significant percentage who were refusing to participate in the SDP. By
refusing, those inmates may not be able to earn release to general population within four
years of their initial assignment since they will not earn credit towards completion of the
12 months required (before proceeding to the next step). The OIG’s review found SDP
facilitators are inquiring into the specific reasons why inmates refuse to participate and
are attempting to take steps to overcome the refusals. As the pilot program is set to
expire, it is anticipated that the proposed regulations will be adopted, and the ultimate
success of the new program is dependent on inmates’ participating and maintaining
acceptable behavior. However, the department must continue to obtain and evaluate the
reasons for refusal and consider further inmate education about the SDP or allow other
modifications in order to achieve full success with this program. The OIG will continue
to consult with the department in these areas with a shared interest in achieving the goals
set out in the Blueprint.

The following pages display the information the OIG summarized after assessing whether
the department has implemented the rehabilitation programs scheduled to be underway in
fiscal year 2013–14 as identified in Appendix B of the Blueprint. The OIG performed the
fieldwork to assess the operational status of each program at each institution.
The information displayed in the following page identifies the statewide operational
status of the rehabilitation programs in summary format for each type of program. An
individual page for each prison is provided after the summary page. The first columns
identify the numbers in terms of teacher positions and the numbers in terms of
student-inmates as they were identified in the initial Blueprint. As described earlier, the
numbers were allowed to be changed as long as they met the total departmental numbers.
The next set of columns displays the numbers as identified in the final version of the
Blueprint. As discussed in its report, the OIG reduced 24 academic teachers and 21 CTE
teachers from the proposed staffing since the Office of Correctional Education held these
positions in abeyance until the inmate population stabilizes. The report then shows the
results of the OIG fieldwork identifying the number of programs that were actually fully
operational when the fieldwork was performed. The last set of columns identifies the
differences between the number of courses that were supposed to be operational (and
related available inmates served) and the number of courses that the OIG actually found
to be operational during the site visit.
The fieldwork performed in this exercise was conducted from July 2014 through August
2014. Therefore, the numbers may have changed since the time of the report.
Additionally, some of the detail of the specific courses may have changed from
institution to institution, but the departmental totals in terms of scheduled courses still
match the original Blueprint numbers.

Appendix C — Standardized Staffing
Appendix C displays a statewide summary of the numbers the Blueprint contained for
each institution and compares it with the budget positions, since they should match in
total. The summary also contains the number of filled positions on the payroll28 for each
institution and displays the difference between the filled positions and those budgeted.29
When performing the comparison against payroll data, the OIG reviewed the information
in a similar manner as that of the staffing plans in the Blueprint. Primarily in the
administrative reporting units for each institution, the OIG placed the payroll information
in the category or categories where it best appeared to apply. Also, the department was
allowed to move positions among the institutions, but it was mandated to conform to the
departmental total.
28 The payroll data from September 4, 2014, were obtained directly from the department, which uses a
system maintained by the State Controller’s Office named the Management Information Retrieval System
(MIRS).
29 The filled position data at each prison do not contain medical position data (with the exception of custody
health care access positions). The medical positions were not included in the Blueprint as part of the
standardized staffing plan.

Appendix D — Housing Plans
The following pages display the information the OIG summarized after reviewing data
and documents to assess whether the department is housing inmates consistent with the
housing plans identified in the Blueprint.
The first page of Appendix D displays a summary of a comparison of actual population
data against the design capacity beds identified for each prison in the Blueprint.30 The
data is summarized by different housing types. This comparison was performed to assess
whether the actual housing of inmates is consistent with the level and types of housing
identified in the Blueprint. The data show that in each of the major categories, the
department is consistently surpassing the inmate housing levels for each individual
housing type identified in the Blueprint, as the overcrowding rate is over 100 percent in
each major category. There are only a few housing categories that show a housing rate
less than 100 percent, and those categories are for special types of housing, such as beds
for condemned inmates, hospice beds, or mental health crisis beds.31
The subsequent pages of Appendix D display data in summary format by institution totals
and then unit total for each institution. The OIG compared the individual Blueprint
housing plans for each institution at the unit level against positive shift count reports
obtained at each institution. These reports allowed a snapshot view of the inmate
population for each housing unit in operation. The summary pages compare the design
capacity against the actual inmate population on August 1, 2014. Several institutions had
vacant housing units at the time of the review due to maintenance or conversion. The
department plans to have inmates housed in some of those units once maintenance and
conversion are completed. The capacity data that were identified in the Blueprint are
color coded in green while the data from the “positive shift count” reports and the
calculations the OIG derived from the data are color coded in yellow.
In summary, the OIG’s assessment found that the actual housing of inmates is
substantially consistent with the housing plans identified in the Blueprint.
30 The electronic population data is effective September 3, 2014, and was provided by CDCR.
31 Some of the beds identified in Appendix D are for very temporary housing. However, the OIG identified
them since they are identified in the Blueprint.
