6. HEADLINE TEXT HERE There are few (less than 30) serious incidents each month. The number of serious Post- Realignment incidents is higher than that which was reported during the previous year for the months of October through February. This trend reverses from March through June, when the number of serious Post-Realignment incidents is lower. There were almost ½ as many serious incidents in June 2012 as there were in June 2011.

Bullet Points to emphasize Institutional Misconduct: Rate of Serious Incidents The trend depicting the rate of serious incidents almost mirrors the number of serious incidents. Adjusting for the decline of the CDCR Institution population shows that the rate for October, March, and May is the same Pre- and Post- Realignment. The June 2012 serious incident rate is much lower than the June 2011 rate.

8. HEADLINE TEXT HERE With the exception of October and January, the number of violent Post-Realignment incidents is lower than those reported Pre-Realignment. The greatest difference in the number of Pre- and Post-Realignment violent incidents occurs in May as there were 86 fewer incidents in 2012. Institutional Misconduct: Number of Violent Incidents

Assesses whether the care meets medical community standards. Inspection program that contains up to 151 “yes/no” questions covering 20 essential components of medical delivery. Results in a “percentage of compliance” score for each institution. Weighting system to factor in importance of each component (and questions within each component). Inspection team consists of physicians, registered nurses, deputy inspectors general and analysts.

Bullet Points to emphasize CDCR Incarcerated Offender Needs CDCR’s Strategic Plan tracks offender’s access to rehabilitative programs. Throughout Fiscal Year 2011-12, most offenders who had an identified need (as measured by COMPAS), did not receive rehabilitative programming for their need(s) before being released from CDCR. As stated in the CDCR Blueprint, the goal is for 70% of all target population offenders to have their needs met prior to leaving CDCR.

18. HEADLINE TEXT HERE The age groups from 18 through 29 are represented by more State Parolees than PRCS Offenders. From age 30 to 59, there is a greater percentage of PRCS offenders than State Parolees. There are more age 60+ State Parolees than PRCS Offenders. Age

19. HEADLINE TEXT HERE Most Post-Realignment releases were Hispanic/Latino, White or Black/African American. There are 2.1% more Hispanic/Latino State Parolees than Hispanic/Latino PRCS Offenders. There are 5.6% more White PRCS Offenders than White State Parolees. There are 2.9% more Black/African American State Parolees than Black/African American PRCS Offenders. Race/Ethnicity

22. HEADLINE TEXT HERE The CSRA measures risk of reconviction. PRCS Offenders are more likely to have a “High” CSRA score. State Parolees are more likely to have a “Low” CSRA score. This is likely due to the fact that in addition to violent crimes, the “High” CSRA category represents drug and property convictions, which are often characteristic of PRCS Offenders.
