Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
Incarceration of Undocumented Felons
The CDCR expects to spend approximately $850 million in 2006-07 for the incarceration of undocumented persons. During 2005-06, the Administration worked closely with the federal government to increase the reimbursements that the state receives for incarcerating undocumented felons. As a result, the state will receive $114.1 million in federal State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) funding for 2006-07. Undocumented persons are expected to comprise 10.5 percent of inmates in the state prison system. The CDCR's costs in 2007-08 are estimated to increase to $897.3 million, an increase of 5.6 percent. For 2007-08, it is estimated that California will receive approximately $114.1 million in federal SCAAP funding. At this level of funding, the state will be reimbursed for only 12.7 percent of the costs associated with the incarceration and related debt service associated with the undocumented felon population, with $783.2 million in costs in excess of the level of federal reimbursements.
During the current fiscal year, the Administration will continue to aggressively pursue all strategies designed to maximize federal funding for the incarceration of undocumented felons.
