Sex Offender Management
The Administration is committed to ensuring that the public is protected from sex offenders. In 2006, the Governor convened the High Risk Sex Offender (HRSO) Task Force, which made a number of recommendations relating to the handling of HRSO inmates and parolees. Some of these recommendations were enacted in 2006 legislative measures. Based upon these recommendations, and along with the overwhelming mandate from voters in enacting Proposition 83 (also known as Jessica's Law), the Administration has begun implementation of the Comprehensive Sex Offender Management Plan to address this population of inmates and parolees in order to ensure the safety of all Californians, especially children.
The Comprehensive Sex Offender Management Plan is comprised of the HRSO Task Force recommendations, related legislation, and implementation of Proposition 83. The Budget includes $106 million General Fund for the CDCR to implement the Comprehensive Sex Offender Management Plan. The Budget provides resources for Global Positioning System monitoring of paroled sex offenders as well as lower caseload ratios for parole agents who supervise this population. In addition, the Budget provides funding for treatment of paroled High Risk Sex Offenders, enhanced training for parole agents and additional funds for inmate screenings, and resources to address various community issues associated with this population.
