They're generally intended to house more serious and violent offenders whose sentences are generally over a year. However, in recent decades, an increasing number of low-level, non-violent offenders have been sentenced to relatively lengthy prison terms, and this added to the extent of prison overcrowding There are 33 state prison facilities currently operating in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>What’s the point of realignment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The realignment program is California’s response to three major mandates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1)\u003cem> A state mandate to slash spending\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia (as you may have heard) has long been in a serious budget crisis and needs to drastically cut spending. Proponents of realignment, including Governor Brown, contend that counties can manage low-level offenders far more cost efficiently than can the state. California can therefore potentially save a significant amount of money by funding counties at lower levels than what it would cost to house those same offenders in state prisons. State finance analyses estimate a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/StateAgencyBudgets/5210/5225/major_program_changes.html\">savings of nearly $486 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) \u003cem>A federal mandate to reduce overcrowding\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIn May 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s order for California to cut its prison population by more than 30,000 inmates.In the 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that conditions resulting from severe overcrowding were in violation of the Eight Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The decision was based largely on evidence of avoidable inmate deaths due to inadequate medical care as a result of overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3)\u003cem> A societal mandate to reform a “broken” system\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia’s prison system has long been rife with problems and inefficiencies. Along with severe overcrowding and outdated facilities, the system has one of the highest recidivism rates in the nation; as of 2010, \u003ca href=\"http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2010/11/04/californias-3-year-recidivism-rate-climbs-slightly/\">more than 67% of those released returned to prison\u003c/a>. Proponents of realignment assert that much-needed reform and innovation is more likely to happen on a county level, where local officials have greater flexibility to employ programs that reduce recidivism and increase public safety, and where inmates, upon release, will be closer to their homes and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Which counties have been most impacted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Check out the interactive map below to get a sense of which counties have received the brunt. Parts of the Central Valley have felt the most impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been less of an issue for most counties in the Bay Area, which have only experienced modest gains in their jail populations. And particularly in the case of Alameda and San Francisco counties, many low-level offenders were already under local supervision before realignment began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to remember that each county decided its own process for dealing with realignment. So two neighboring counties might have very different approaches in how they handle the changes. Some counties have adopted reforms such as early release for good behavior, shorter sentences, and alternatives to incarceration (like electronic monitoring programs). Other counties, however, have taken a less nuanced approach, and have been placing new inmates in local jails for relatively long-term periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col1%3E%3E0+from+16awRPrYbXvPGqPkQHphlyLD266XS7b9Ac_2JQWA&h=false&lat=37.63058815315405&lng=-119.57413302343745&z=5&t=1&l=col1%3E%3E0\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3351\" title=\"Jail_legend\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png 293w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-64x64.png 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-96x96.png 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.bscc.ca.gov/programs-and-services/cpp/resources/jail-profile-survey\" target=\"_blank\">Data Source: California Board of State and Community Corrections\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/div>\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1432332599,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":true,"iframeSrcs":["https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz"],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":17,"wordCount":1029},"headData":{"title":"California's Prison Realignment Explained | KQED","description":"Last October California began a dramatic overhaul of its severely overcrowded prison system.

However, in recent decades, an increasing number of low-level, non-violent offenders have been sentenced to relatively lengthy prison terms, and this added to the extent of prison overcrowding There are 33 state prison facilities currently operating in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>What’s the point of realignment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The realignment program is California’s response to three major mandates:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1)\u003cem> A state mandate to slash spending\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia (as you may have heard) has long been in a serious budget crisis and needs to drastically cut spending. Proponents of realignment, including Governor Brown, contend that counties can manage low-level offenders far more cost efficiently than can the state. California can therefore potentially save a significant amount of money by funding counties at lower levels than what it would cost to house those same offenders in state prisons. State finance analyses estimate a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/StateAgencyBudgets/5210/5225/major_program_changes.html\">savings of nearly $486 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2) \u003cem>A federal mandate to reduce overcrowding\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIn May 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s order for California to cut its prison population by more than 30,000 inmates.In the 5-to-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that conditions resulting from severe overcrowding were in violation of the Eight Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The decision was based largely on evidence of avoidable inmate deaths due to inadequate medical care as a result of overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3)\u003cem> A societal mandate to reform a “broken” system\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia’s prison system has long been rife with problems and inefficiencies. Along with severe overcrowding and outdated facilities, the system has one of the highest recidivism rates in the nation; as of 2010, \u003ca href=\"http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2010/11/04/californias-3-year-recidivism-rate-climbs-slightly/\">more than 67% of those released returned to prison\u003c/a>. Proponents of realignment assert that much-needed reform and innovation is more likely to happen on a county level, where local officials have greater flexibility to employ programs that reduce recidivism and increase public safety, and where inmates, upon release, will be closer to their homes and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Which counties have been most impacted?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Check out the interactive map below to get a sense of which counties have received the brunt. Parts of the Central Valley have felt the most impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's been less of an issue for most counties in the Bay Area, which have only experienced modest gains in their jail populations. And particularly in the case of Alameda and San Francisco counties, many low-level offenders were already under local supervision before realignment began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to remember that each county decided its own process for dealing with realignment. So two neighboring counties might have very different approaches in how they handle the changes. Some counties have adopted reforms such as early release for good behavior, shorter sentences, and alternatives to incarceration (like electronic monitoring programs). Other counties, however, have taken a less nuanced approach, and have been placing new inmates in local jails for relatively long-term periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col1%3E%3E0+from+16awRPrYbXvPGqPkQHphlyLD266XS7b9Ac_2JQWA&h=false&lat=37.63058815315405&lng=-119.57413302343745&z=5&t=1&l=col1%3E%3E0\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3351\" title=\"Jail_legend\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1.png 293w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-64x64.png 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-96x96.png 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/08/Jail_legend1-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.bscc.ca.gov/programs-and-services/cpp/resources/jail-profile-survey\" target=\"_blank\">Data Source: California Board of State and Community Corrections\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/div>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/lowdown/80/califrornias-prison-realignment-explained","authors":["1263"],"categories":["lowdown_245","lowdown_242","lowdown_2374"],"tags":["lowdown_31","lowdown_294","lowdown_254","lowdown_56","lowdown_37","lowdown_164","lowdown_39","lowdown_33","lowdown_265"],"featImg":"lowdown_18039","label":"lowdown"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
