AB 292 California Assembly · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Corrections: rehabilitative programming.

Summary

The California Constitution grants the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation the authority to award credits earned for good behavior and approved rehabilitative or educational achievements and requires the department to adopt regulations in furtherance of this grant of authority. The bill would require the department to conduct rehabilitative programming in a manner that meets specified requirements, such as prioritizing a person who has transferred between facilities to resume rehabilitative programming, if the transfer was for nonadverse reasons, minimizing program wait times, and offering a variety of program opportunities to inmates regardless of security level or sentence length.
