Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)

In 2011, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 109 and AB 117, hereafter referred to as Realignment, which made “fundamental changes to California’s correctional system to stop the costly, ineffective and unsafe "revolving door" of lower-level offenders and parole violators through our state prisons” (excerpt from Governor’s Press Release, April 5, 2011).

Realignment:

• shifted responsibility for all sentenced non-violent, non-serious, non-sex offenders from state to local jurisdictions;
• established Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS);
• changed the parole revocation process;
• tasked Community Corrections Partnerships (CCPs) with planning for the change and implementing the local plans; and
• gave local law enforcement the right and the ability to manage offenders in smarter and cost-effective ways.
