On April 4, 2011, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109), the Public Safety Realignment Act, to address overcrowding in California’s prisons. The 2011 public safety realignment contained in AB 109/AB 117 specifies new local responsibilities for managing certain adult offenders and allows for maximum local budget and programming flexibility within a statutory framework.
The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Committee, originally created under Senate Bill 678, was charged with the responsibility of developing a local realignment plan. On September 27, 2011, the Madera County Board of Supervisors adopted the County of Madera Public Safety Realignment Plan per Penal Code sections 1230.1 and 3451. This plan involves a multi-agency collaboration as reflected in the budget.
This CCP Plan, submitted on behalf of the CCP committee, is designed to help Californians understand the efforts, goals, and successes in implementing Public Safety Realignment. The information shared is used as the basis of the Board of State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) annual report to the Governor and Legislature on the implementation of Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Plans as required by paragraph (11) of subdivision (b) of Section 6027 of the Penal Code.
Probation Adult Services relocated to the new Justice Center in the Spring of 2023, thus, providing the infrastructure to serve more probation clients and be a community center of “One Stop Shop” of rehabilitative services. The Probation Department will expand rehabilitative services and increase the number of probation clients without increasing costs. The Transition Center formerly called Day Reporting Center is a “one stop shop” center of rehabilitation services at the new Justice Center for all our probation clients. The Transition Center goal is to change criminal behavior through cognitive behavioral treatment, substance abuse treatment and classes that teach participants real-world skills, so they are successfully prepared to reenter the community.
