Chapter 9. Prison To Employment of California Penal Code >> Title 1. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 9.

The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall develop an Inmate Treatment and Prison-to-Employment Plan. The plan should evaluate and recommend changes to the Governor and the Legislature regarding current inmate education, treatment, and rehabilitation programs to determine whether the programs provide sufficient skills to inmates that will likely result in their successful employment in the community, and reduce their chances of returning to prison after release to parole. The department shall report the status of the development of the plan on or before October 1, 2007, again on or before January 15, 2008, and shall submit the final plan by April 1, 2008. The department may use resources of other state or local agencies, academic institutions, and other research organizations as necessary to develop the plan.
