Section 8090 Of Article 4. Funding From California Penal Code >> Title 9. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 4.
8090
. Implementation of this chapter pursuant to Section 8060 is
contingent upon the availability of funding. Funding for
community-based punishment programs shall be administered by the
board from funds appropriated by the Legislature. In addition to
state funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act or other
legislation, programs may be funded from a variety of sources,
including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Federal funds for community-based punishment programs.
(b) Private or corporate grants, or both.
(c) Service and administrative fees that may be charged to
offenders who participate in community corrections programs, provided
that no offender shall be denied entrance into a community-based
punishment program solely for inability to pay fees.
(d) Income derived from community development corporations
established as part of community-based punishment programs of a
county or collaboration of counties, including, but not limited to,
revenue generated by businesses owned and operated by community-based
punishment programs, or by offender work programs, or by both, after
the cost of operating and administering the business or work program
has been paid.
(e) Other sources as may be identified as suitable for funding
community corrections.
It is the intent of the Legislature that community corrections
reduce the number of offenders who would be incarcerated in the state
prison in the absence of a community-based punishment approach.
