Chapter 3. California Community Corrections Performance Incentives of California Penal Code >> Title 8. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 3.
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) In 2007, nearly 270,000 felony offenders were subject to
probation supervision in California's communities.
(b) In 2007, out of 46,987 new admissions to state prison, nearly
20,000 were felony offenders who were committed to state prison after
failing probation supervision.
(c) Probation is a judicially imposed suspension of sentence that
attempts to supervise, treat, and rehabilitate offenders while they
remain in the community under the supervision of the probation
department. Probation is a linchpin of the criminal justice system,
closely aligned with the courts, and plays a central role in
promoting public safety in California's communities.
(d) Providing sustainable funding for improved, evidence-based
probation supervision practices and capacities will improve public
safety outcomes among adult felons who are on probation. Improving
felony probation performance, measured by a reduction in felony
probationers who are sent to prison because they were revoked on
probation or convicted of another crime while on probation, will
reduce the number of new admissions to state prison, saving taxpayer
dollars and allowing a portion of those state savings to be
redirected to probation for investing in community corrections
programs.
As used in this chapter, the following definitions apply:
(a) "Community corrections" means the placement of persons
convicted of a felony offense under probation supervision, mandatory
supervision, or postrelease community supervision for a specified

jail or prison into the community.
(2) Providing a range of supervision tools, sanctions, and
services applied to felony offenders subject to local supervision
based on a risk and needs assessment for the purpose of reducing
criminal conduct and promoting behavioral change that results in
reducing recidivism and promoting the successful reintegration of
offenders into the community.
(3) Maximizing offender restitution, reconciliation, and
restorative services to victims of crime.
(4) Holding offenders accountable for their criminal behaviors and
for successful compliance with applicable court orders and
conditions of supervision.
(5) Improving public safety outcomes for persons subject to local
supervision for a felony offense, as measured by their successful
completion of the period of local supervision and the commensurate
reduction in the rate of offenders sent to prison as a result of a
revocation of supervision or conviction of a new crime.
(d) "Evidence-based practices" refers to supervision policies,
procedures, programs, and practices demonstrated by scientific
research to reduce recidivism among individuals under local
supervision.
(e) "Local supervision" means the supervision of an adult felony
offender on probation, mandatory supervision, or postrelease

the total number of adult felony probationers statewide sent to state
prison as a percentage of the average statewide adult felony
probation population for that year.
(c) The probation failure rate for each county shall be calculated
as the total number of adult felony probationers sent to state
prison from that county, as a percentage of the county's average
adult felony probation population for that year.
(d) An estimate of the number of adult felony probationers each
county successfully prevented from being incarcerated in state

the reduction in the county's probation failure rate as calculated
annually pursuant to subdivision (c) for that year and the county's
probation failure rate from the previous year.
(e) In calculating probation failure to prison rates for the state
and individual counties, the number of adult felony probationers
sent to state prison shall include those adult felony probationers
sent to state prison for a revocation of probation, as well as adult
felony probationers sent to state prison for a conviction of a new
felony offense. The calculation shall also include adult felony
probationers who are sent to state prison for a conviction of a new
crime and who simultaneously have their probation terms terminated.
(f) The statewide mandatory supervision failure to prison rate.
The statewide mandatory supervision failure to prison rate shall be
calculated as the total number of offenders supervised under

the previous calendar year as a percentage of the county's average
mandatory supervision population for that year.
(h) An estimate of the number of felons on mandatory supervision
each county successfully prevented from being incarcerated in state
prison. For each county, this estimate shall be calculated based on
the reduction in the county's mandatory supervision failure to prison
rate as calculated annually pursuant to subdivision (g) for that
year and the county's mandatory supervision failure to prison rate
from the previous year.
(i) The statewide postrelease community supervision failure to
prison rate. The statewide postrelease community supervision failure
to prison rate shall be calculated as the total number of offenders
supervised under postrelease community supervision pursuant to Title
2.05 (commencing with Section 3450) of Part 3, statewide, sent to
prison in the previous calendar year as a percentage of the average
statewide postrelease community supervision population for that year.
(j) A postrelease community supervision failure to prison rate for
each county. Each county's postrelease community supervision failure
to prison rate shall be calculated as the number of offenders
supervised under postrelease community supervision pursuant to Title
2.05 (commencing with Section 3450) of Part 3 sent to prison from
that county in the previous calendar year as a percentage of the
county's average postrelease community supervision population for
that year.
(k) An estimate of the number of felons on postrelease community
supervision each county successfully prevented from being
incarcerated in state prison. For each county, this estimate shall be
calculated based on the reduction in the county's postrelease
community supervision failure to prison rate as calculated annually
pursuant to subdivision (i) for that year and the county's
postrelease community supervision failure to prison rate from the
previous year.
(l) The statewide return to prison rate. The statewide return to
prison rate shall be calculated as the total number of offenders
supervised by probation departments as felony probationers, or

Section 1170, or subject to postrelease community supervision, who
were sent to prison, as a percentage of the average statewide adult
felony probation, mandatory supervision, and postrelease community
supervision population.
(m) The county return to prison rate. The combined individual
county return to prison rate shall be calculated as the total number
of offenders supervised by a county probation department as felony
probationers, or subject to mandatory supervision pursuant to
subdivision (h) of Section 1170, or subject to postrelease community
supervision, who were sent to prison, as a percentage of the average
adult felony probation, mandatory supervision, and postrelease
community supervision population for that county.
Annually, the Director of Finance, in consultation with the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee, the Chief Probation Officers of California, and the
Judicial Council, shall calculate a statewide performance incentive
payment for each eligible county for the most recently completed
calendar year, as follows:
(a) For a county identified as having a return to prison rate less

percent of the highest year of funding that a county received for the
California Community Incentive Grant Program from the 2011 -12
fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year, inclusive.
(b) For a county identified as having a return to prison rate of
1.5 percent or greater, but not exceeding 3.2 percent, the incentive

that a county received for the California Community Incentive Grant
Program from the 2011-12 fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year,
inclusive.
(c) For a county identified as having a return to prison rate of
more than 3.2 percent, not exceeding 5.5 percent, the incentive

Program from the 2011 -12 fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year,
inclusive.
(d) For a county identified as having a return to prison rate of
more than 5.5 percent, not exceeding 6.1 percent, the incentive

that a county received for the California Community Incentive Grant
Program from the 2011-12 fiscal year to the 2014-15 fiscal year,
inclusive.
(e) For a county identified as having a return to prison rate of
more than 6.1 percent, not exceeding 7.9 percent, the incentive

The Director of Finance, in consultation with the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee, the Chief Probation Officers of California, and the
Judicial Council, shall, for the most recently completed calendar
year, annually calculate a county performance incentive payment for
each eligible county. A county shall be eligible for compensation for

percent of the state's costs to incarcerate a prison felony offender
in a contract facility, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section
1233.1.
(b) The estimated number of felons on mandatory supervision that
were successfully prevented from being incarcerated in the state

offender in a contract facility, as defined in subdivision (a) of
Section 1233.1.
(c) The estimated number of felons on postrelease community
supervision that were successfully prevented from being incarcerated

a prison felony offender in a contract facility, as defined in
subdivision (a) of Section 1233.1.
If data of sufficient quality and of the types required for
the implementation of this chapter are not available to the Director
of Finance, the Director of Finance, in consultation with the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Joint Legislative
Budget Committee, and Judicial Council, shall use the best available
data to estimate the statewide performance incentive payments and
county performance incentive payments utilizing a methodology that is
as consistent with that described in this chapter as is reasonably
possible.
(a) A statewide performance incentive payment calculated
pursuant to Section 1233.3 and a county performance incentive payment
calculated pursuant to Section 1233.4 for any calendar year shall be
provided to a county in the following fiscal year. The total annual
payment to a county shall be divided into four equal quarterly
payments.
(b) The Department of Finance shall include an estimate of the
total statewide performance incentive payments and county performance
incentive payments to be provided to counties in the coming fiscal
year as part of the Governor's proposed budget released no later than
January 10 of each year. This estimate shall be adjusted by the
Department of Finance, as necessary, to reflect the actual
calculations of probation failure reduction incentive payments and
high performance grants completed by the Director of Finance, in
consultation with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation,
the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the Chief Probation Officers
of California, and the Judicial Council. This adjustment shall occur
as part of standard budget revision processes completed by the
Department of Finance in April and May of each year.
(c) There is hereby established, in the State Treasury, the State
Community Corrections Performance Incentives Fund, which is
continuously appropriated. Moneys appropriated for purposes of
statewide performance incentive payments and county performance
incentive payments authorized in Sections 1230 to 1233.6, inclusive,
shall be transferred into this fund from the General Fund. Any moneys
transferred into this fund from the General Fund shall be
administered by the Judicial Council and the share calculated for
each county probation department shall be transferred to its
Community Corrections Performance Incentives Fund authorized in

(d) For each fiscal year, the Director of Finance shall determine
the total amount of the State Community Corrections Performance
Incentives Fund and the amount to be allocated to each county,
pursuant to this section and Sections 1230 to 1233.5, inclusive, and
shall report those amounts to the Controller. The Controller shall
make an allocation from the State Community Corrections Performance
Incentives Fund authorized in subdivision (c) to each county in
accordance with the amounts provided.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code,
commencing July 1, 2014, and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount

($200,000).
(b) The Department of Finance shall adjust the award amount up to
two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) per county, to those counties
that did not receive a statewide performance incentive payment and
county performance incentive payment, as calculated pursuant to
Sections 1233.3 and 1233.4.
(c) Any county receiving funding through subdivision (b) shall
submit a report to the Judicial Council and the Chief Probation
