Before taking her away, Officer Rob Halverson paused in the front yard, held a Samsung Galaxy tablet up to the woman’s face and snapped a photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halverson fiddled with the tablet with his index finger a few times, and – without needing to ask the woman’s name or check her identification – her mug shot from a previous arrest, address, criminal history and other personal information appeared on the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Halverson had run the woman's photograph through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/collections/4379389/San-Diego-Tactical-Identification-System\" target=\"_blank\">Tactical Identification System\u003c/a>, a new mobile facial recognition technology now in the hands of San Diego-area law enforcement. In an instant, the system matches images taken in the field with databases of about 348,000 San Diego County arrestees. The system itself has nearly 1.4 million booking photos because many people have multiple mug shots on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The little-known program could become the largest expansion of facial recognition technology by U.S. law enforcement. Amid an international debate over collecting huge amounts of data on the public and sharing the information, the pilot program is putting that metadata to use in the field in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'What we're seeing now is much more surveillance-oriented, and it's in the guise of preventative policing.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The use of this technology was rolled out without any public hearings or notice. The secrecy of the program has alarmed privacy experts and raised questions about whether San Diego is the leading edge of an alarming future – one in which few people escape cataloging in a government database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-five local, state and federal law enforcement agencies — including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Border Patrol, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department and San Diego State University police — participate in the system. The project is coordinated by the San Diego Association of Governments and relies on a vast data-sharing program called the Automated Regional Justice Information System, or ARJIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, the use of biometric technology by police represents a radical milestone in the militarization of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, technology that was developed on the battlefield has been migrating into domestic law enforcement. Since 9/11, America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sped up that transfer. Facial recognition technology, which has been widely used by the military, is the next frontier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're seeing now is much more surveillance-oriented, and it's in the guise of preventative policing,” said Kevin Keenan, former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties. “It's really this aspiration of prevention and social control through the monitoring of everyone's every action and storage in perpetuity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this practice legal?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legality of law enforcement using facial recognition technology has not been tested in the courts. But a Privacy Impact Assessment, which the Automated Regional Justice Information System helped write, claims that photos of everyday people can be taken during \"traditional police-civilian encounters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego-area law enforcement agencies have used the facial recognition system since the beginning of this year, when 133 Galaxy tablets and smartphones were distributed to 25 law enforcement agencies around the region, according to documents obtained through a public records request by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/\">Electronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco nonprofit that studies surveillance and privacy issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared with the number of arrests throughout the San Diego region, which has about 3.2 million residents, the system is rolling out with relatively modest numbers. In the first 10 months of 2013, officers ran 5,629 queries through the database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with the sheriff’s department and San Diego Association of Governments declined requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials said the pilot program is a valuable tool to help them identify people who refuse to give their names or use fake identification. Immigration officials said they have used the system to help them when they encounter immigrants who don’t have authorization to be in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Photographs are neutral – you can't say it's racist when a camera is taking a neutral picture of someone,” said Halverson, the Chula Vista officer. “It’s hitting on certain points of contact. It's doing a neutral analysis of a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The software works by capturing a freeze frame of a live video feed, which then focuses on the face and uses the distance between the eyes as a baseline. An algorithm then analyzes unique textures and patterns on the face, cross-referencing the freeze frame at the rate of a million comparisons per second against the police mug-shot database that also has been processed by the software.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> 'Photographs are neutral – you can't say it's racist when a camera is taking a neutral picture of someone.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials said the facial recognition software has built-in privacy safeguards. After an image taken in the field is run through the system, it is discarded by the central database, they said. They say it does not create a database of photos of people who are stopped by police and questioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, during field tests with Chula Vista police, images taken by field officers were stored within individual tablets. It’s up to officers to delete those photos on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This technology is not infallible\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers who have used the system rave about its precision in identifying people. But facial recognition technology remains imperfect. Documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit, show that the FBI’s facial recognition program could fail to identify the right person in 1 out of 5 encounters – potentially ensnaring innocent people in investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Development of the San Diego program goes as far back as 2007, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. That’s when the federal government’s National Institute of Justice awarded a $418,000 information-led policing grant to ARJIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the San Diego Association of Governments selected \u003ca href=\"http://www.facefirst.com/\">FaceFirst LLC\u003c/a>, a privately held facial recognition firm in Camarillo, as the technology vendor. A $475,000 Department of Homeland Security grant covered the cost of purchasing FaceFirst's license and the hardware required to roll out the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 2007, FaceFirst is a spinoff of military contractor Airborne Technologies and is backed by the $18 billion private equity firm Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors. FaceFirst’s main product is facial recognition software that, according to CEO Joe Rosenkrantz, has the capability to “identify everyone in a football stadium in five seconds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, Air Force Gen. Victor Renuart, the Pentagon's homeland security commander, advocated for the increased use of biometrics within the U.S. Among domestic law enforcement, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida have devoted considerable time and resources to developing biometric technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, expressed alarm at the normalization of military-grade technology in daily police activity. She said she believes the San Diego regional government’s lack of transparency around the facial recognition program is designed to minimize opposition and public debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It becomes accepted and is much harder to push back when an agency has purchased 150 devices and deployed them in the field,\" Lynch said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The project is coordinated by the San Diego Association of Governments and relies on a vast data-sharing program called the Automated Regional Justice Information System, or ARJIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, the use of biometric technology by police represents a radical milestone in the militarization of American law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, technology that was developed on the battlefield has been migrating into domestic law enforcement. Since 9/11, America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sped up that transfer. Facial recognition technology, which has been widely used by the military, is the next frontier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're seeing now is much more surveillance-oriented, and it's in the guise of preventative policing,” said Kevin Keenan, former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties. “It's really this aspiration of prevention and social control through the monitoring of everyone's every action and storage in perpetuity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this practice legal?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legality of law enforcement using facial recognition technology has not been tested in the courts. But a Privacy Impact Assessment, which the Automated Regional Justice Information System helped write, claims that photos of everyday people can be taken during \"traditional police-civilian encounters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego-area law enforcement agencies have used the facial recognition system since the beginning of this year, when 133 Galaxy tablets and smartphones were distributed to 25 law enforcement agencies around the region, according to documents obtained through a public records request by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/\">Electronic Frontier Foundation\u003c/a>, a San Francisco nonprofit that studies surveillance and privacy issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared with the number of arrests throughout the San Diego region, which has about 3.2 million residents, the system is rolling out with relatively modest numbers. In the first 10 months of 2013, officers ran 5,629 queries through the database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with the sheriff’s department and San Diego Association of Governments declined requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials said the pilot program is a valuable tool to help them identify people who refuse to give their names or use fake identification. Immigration officials said they have used the system to help them when they encounter immigrants who don’t have authorization to be in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Photographs are neutral – you can't say it's racist when a camera is taking a neutral picture of someone,” said Halverson, the Chula Vista officer. “It’s hitting on certain points of contact. It's doing a neutral analysis of a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The software works by capturing a freeze frame of a live video feed, which then focuses on the face and uses the distance between the eyes as a baseline. An algorithm then analyzes unique textures and patterns on the face, cross-referencing the freeze frame at the rate of a million comparisons per second against the police mug-shot database that also has been processed by the software.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> 'Photographs are neutral – you can't say it's racist when a camera is taking a neutral picture of someone.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement officials said the facial recognition software has built-in privacy safeguards. After an image taken in the field is run through the system, it is discarded by the central database, they said. They say it does not create a database of photos of people who are stopped by police and questioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, during field tests with Chula Vista police, images taken by field officers were stored within individual tablets. It’s up to officers to delete those photos on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This technology is not infallible\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers who have used the system rave about its precision in identifying people. But facial recognition technology remains imperfect. Documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit, show that the FBI’s facial recognition program could fail to identify the right person in 1 out of 5 encounters – potentially ensnaring innocent people in investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Development of the San Diego program goes as far back as 2007, according to documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. That’s when the federal government’s National Institute of Justice awarded a $418,000 information-led policing grant to ARJIS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, the San Diego Association of Governments selected \u003ca href=\"http://www.facefirst.com/\">FaceFirst LLC\u003c/a>, a privately held facial recognition firm in Camarillo, as the technology vendor. A $475,000 Department of Homeland Security grant covered the cost of purchasing FaceFirst's license and the hardware required to roll out the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in 2007, FaceFirst is a spinoff of military contractor Airborne Technologies and is backed by the $18 billion private equity firm Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors. FaceFirst’s main product is facial recognition software that, according to CEO Joe Rosenkrantz, has the capability to “identify everyone in a football stadium in five seconds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, Air Force Gen. Victor Renuart, the Pentagon's homeland security commander, advocated for the increased use of biometrics within the U.S. Among domestic law enforcement, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida have devoted considerable time and resources to developing biometric technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, expressed alarm at the normalization of military-grade technology in daily police activity. She said she believes the San Diego regional government’s lack of transparency around the facial recognition program is designed to minimize opposition and public debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One theme that's emerged during the protests is what many say is a deep gulf between Sonoma County's Latino residents and the rest of the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professor Francisco Vazquez, a historian at Sonoma State University, says he knows why the Lopez killing has sparked anger among Latino residents.

About 100 people showed up this morning to address the regular meeting of the county Board of Supervisors about the killing. Afterward, a crowd of about 200 marched to the nearby Hall of Justice to demand a grand jury investigate the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deputy who shot Lopez, Erick Gelhaus, spotted the 13-year-old on Oct. 22 carrying what turned out to be a pellet-gun replica of an AK-47 assault rifle. Gelhaus opened fire when Lopez didn't immediately comply with an order to put the gun down and instead began turning toward the deputy. Gelhaus, a 24-year department veteran with extensive experience as a police weapons trainer, fired eight shots, hitting Lopez seven times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa police investigators have emphasized the similarity between the toy gun Lopez was carrying and an actual AK-47. Critics of the shooting have focused on the brief span — apparently less than 10 seconds — between the moment Gelhaus and his partner spotted the teenager and when Gelhaus opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa resident Alfredo Sanchez dramatized that issue at this morning's three-hour Board of Supervisors meeting, saying he was convinced Lopez's ethnicity played a part in the decision to shoot him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three, Mississippi four, Mississippi five, Mississippi six, Mississippi seven, Mississippi eight, Mississippi nine, Mississippi ten.

That’s when \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/28/us/rioters-destroy-nearly-half-the-buildings-in-a-pennsylvania-prison.html\">inmates seized control of an overcrowded suburban Harrisburg prison during two days of vicious riots\u003c/a>. Inmates burned down more than half the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill. They took five hostages. The riot shocked Pennsylvania, and forced Governor Bob Casey to launch a blue-ribbon commission aimed at uncovering where things went wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116966\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 272px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-116966\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/beard93-272x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beard in 1993, when he was rebuilding Pennsylvania's Camp Hill prison after a riot.

(Carlisle Sentinel)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But before the commission even got started, Beard was charged with cleaning up the mess. He was plucked from an assignment running a Western Pennsylvania prison and named Camp Hill’s acting warden. “I had hostile inmates, I had staff who were very traumatized, and I had a broken institution,” recalled Beard. “So I had to balance all of that and do things to psychologically support the staff, to calm the inmates down, while we were also at the same time rebuilding the facility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a near-impossible task, but a job Beard did well. He rebuilt and reorganized the prison. He was soon promoted to a regional management job, and by 2001 he was running Pennsylvania’s entire corrections system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporter Don Gilliland, who covers corrections for the Harrisburg Patriot-News, said Beard got high marks from the corrections community. “Beard consistently was saying the right things,” he said. “He maintained a top-flight data department in the state prison. He really had a good sense of what was happening in the prisons.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An uphill fight against prison overcrowding\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard used his position to push for sentencing reforms – less hard time and more treatment for drug offenders. He\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>was one of the first Pennsylvania corrections secretaries to say the state needed less mandatory sentencing and more treatment options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania’s prisons were too packed. That’s a lesson Beard learned when he was rebuilding after the Camp Hill riots, which had been largely caused by overcrowding. Three years after the fact, Camp Hill was still above capacity. Beard told a local reporter at the time that the $60 million rebuilding dollar effort wouldn’t work unless the state scaled back mandatory prison sentences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said, “We can’t afford to keep locking everybody up.” That’s a battle Beard fought – and for the most part lost – for most of his career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1980 and 2010, the state’s prison population went from about 8,000 inmates to more than 50,000. Beard blamed “tough on crime” sentencing trends, and spent his time as corrections secretary lobbying lawmakers to undo them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilliland doesn’t blame Beard for the spike. “Prisons are like a bucket of water,” he explained. “Where you have a couple of hoses feeding water into the top, you have a variety of spigots letting water out. The problem is the people who control the water coming in are a completely different bureaucracy than [those who] control the spigot coming out. And the secretary of corrections has no control over either bureaucracy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard did play a major role in passing a slate of sentencing reforms in 2008 – the first Pennsylvania had seen in decades. But they didn’t quite work. During his last year, Pennsylvania had to export 2 thousand prisoners to other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Historically, we have overused segregation”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard, of course, is facing much larger population problems in California. He and Gov. Jerry Brown spent most of the year \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/12/court-ruling-on-prisons-a-setback-for-gov-brown/\">losing a series of legal challenges\u003c/a> over federal control of California prisons’ health care. The state now has until mid-February to move more than 8,000 people out of California’s prisons in order to reduce overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113826\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-113826\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/10/RS1076_PelicanBaySHU-scr1-e1380903557958-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"A 2011 view of Pelican Bay State Prisons Security Housing Unit.

(Michael Montgomery/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And while Beard and Brown fought with judges this summer, thousands of inmates launched a system-wide hunger strike. The protest was aimed at ending California’s practice of locking up suspected prison gang leaders in segregated housing – sometimes for decades at a time. Critics call it torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard said he understands why segregated confinement stirs up so much anger. He defended the practice as necessary, to protect other inmates and to control gangs. But in our interview, Beard did make an admission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that probably historically we have overused segregation a little too much everywhere,” he said. “I think we did back in Pennsylvania. I think there’s other states that have done it, perhaps in the past in California. And that’s why California now has the new gang management policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the new plan the state rolled out that re-evaluates who’s being kept in security housing, and provides a years’-long path out of isolation for inmates who cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caring for mentally-ill inmates\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117029\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-117029\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/beard-stockton-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Beard facing questions from reporters in June (Scott Detrow / KQED)\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beard facing questions from reporters in June (Scott Detrow / KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The hunger strike is now long over, but controversies are still dogging the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. A Sacramento trial is shining a light on how the state treats mentally ill inmates. \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201310020850/a\">Graphic videos aired in court recently\u003c/a>, showing guards dousing screaming prisoners with pepper spray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, Beard faced similar controversy in Pennsylvania. Bob Meek is an attorney with the Disability Rights Network. He spent years investigating how Pennsylvania dealt with mentally-ill inmates. \u003ca href=\"https://www.drnpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RHUFinalComplaint.pdf\">In a lawsuit\u003c/a>, the group alleged the state simply locked many of them up in segregated housing, rather than treat them. “They would just continue to act out and continue to act up, and they would never get out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard disputed the charge and pointed to programs he launched aimed at treating mentally ill inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Adjusting to California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard is approaching one year on the job here in California. And with all the crises on his plate, he’s yet to really put his stamp on department policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/print/2013/jan/30/local/la-me-ff-prisons-20130129\">Beard came to the job as an outsider and a critic\u003c/a>. He was a key witness in the 2008 trial ordering California to lower its prison population. At the time he blasted the state’s prisons as overcrowded and dangerous — conditions \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/25/ca-corrections-chief-new-medical-center-proves-federal-judges-wrong/\">he now insists the state has since turned around\u003c/a>. After retiring from his Pennsylvania post in 2010, Beard began working with California as a consultant. (The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation denied KQED's public records request for copies of memos Beard produced during this period.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard admitted it’s hard to figure out a new state after 38 years somewhere else. For one thing, he says he doesn’t know the longtime staffers like he did in Pennsylvania. And the rules are different. “A lot of times when something comes up about a policy or something, I have to ask somebody or I have to go and look it up. Whereas in Pennsylvania, I wrote a lot of the policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the unique experience of working with Jerry Brown. Beard served under two high-profile Pennsylvania governors: Republican Tom Ridge and Democrat Ed Rendell. But he said Brown is different – much more hands-on. “He’s interested in what I do,” Beard said. “And doesn’t just say, hey do the job and keep things quiet. I see him as being more actively engaged. But it’s not just with me. It’s with every facet of government. And I think that’s a good thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two of them share the same goal: ending federal control of California’s prisons as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Listen to the California Report audio:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/118549230\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The state now has until mid-February to move more than 8,000 people out of California’s prisons in order to reduce overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113826\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-113826\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/10/RS1076_PelicanBaySHU-scr1-e1380903557958-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"A 2011 view of Pelican Bay State Prisons Security Housing Unit.

(Michael Montgomery/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And while Beard and Brown fought with judges this summer, thousands of inmates launched a system-wide hunger strike. The protest was aimed at ending California’s practice of locking up suspected prison gang leaders in segregated housing – sometimes for decades at a time. Critics call it torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard said he understands why segregated confinement stirs up so much anger. He defended the practice as necessary, to protect other inmates and to control gangs. But in our interview, Beard did make an admission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that probably historically we have overused segregation a little too much everywhere,” he said. “I think we did back in Pennsylvania. I think there’s other states that have done it, perhaps in the past in California. And that’s why California now has the new gang management policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the new plan the state rolled out that re-evaluates who’s being kept in security housing, and provides a years’-long path out of isolation for inmates who cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caring for mentally-ill inmates\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117029\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-117029\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/11/beard-stockton-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Beard facing questions from reporters in June (Scott Detrow / KQED)\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beard facing questions from reporters in June (Scott Detrow / KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The hunger strike is now long over, but controversies are still dogging the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. A Sacramento trial is shining a light on how the state treats mentally ill inmates. \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201310020850/a\">Graphic videos aired in court recently\u003c/a>, showing guards dousing screaming prisoners with pepper spray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, Beard faced similar controversy in Pennsylvania. Bob Meek is an attorney with the Disability Rights Network. He spent years investigating how Pennsylvania dealt with mentally-ill inmates. \u003ca href=\"https://www.drnpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/RHUFinalComplaint.pdf\">In a lawsuit\u003c/a>, the group alleged the state simply locked many of them up in segregated housing, rather than treat them. “They would just continue to act out and continue to act up, and they would never get out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard disputed the charge and pointed to programs he launched aimed at treating mentally ill inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Adjusting to California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard is approaching one year on the job here in California. And with all the crises on his plate, he’s yet to really put his stamp on department policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/print/2013/jan/30/local/la-me-ff-prisons-20130129\">Beard came to the job as an outsider and a critic\u003c/a>. He was a key witness in the 2008 trial ordering California to lower its prison population. At the time he blasted the state’s prisons as overcrowded and dangerous — conditions \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/25/ca-corrections-chief-new-medical-center-proves-federal-judges-wrong/\">he now insists the state has since turned around\u003c/a>. After retiring from his Pennsylvania post in 2010, Beard began working with California as a consultant. (The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation denied KQED's public records request for copies of memos Beard produced during this period.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beard admitted it’s hard to figure out a new state after 38 years somewhere else. For one thing, he says he doesn’t know the longtime staffers like he did in Pennsylvania. And the rules are different. “A lot of times when something comes up about a policy or something, I have to ask somebody or I have to go and look it up. Whereas in Pennsylvania, I wrote a lot of the policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the unique experience of working with Jerry Brown. Beard served under two high-profile Pennsylvania governors: Republican Tom Ridge and Democrat Ed Rendell. But he said Brown is different – much more hands-on. “He’s interested in what I do,” Beard said. “And doesn’t just say, hey do the job and keep things quiet. I see him as being more actively engaged. But it’s not just with me. It’s with every facet of government. And I think that’s a good thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two of them share the same goal: ending federal control of California’s prisons as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Listen to the California Report audio:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
