WHO:
California Department of Corrections (CDC), Office of Community Resources
WHAT:
California’s Department of Corrections will open its second Family Foundations Program facility, the only alternative community sentencing program for women in California administered by the Department. The women are non-violent offenders with histories of drug abuse. Women must be pregnant or parenting a child under age six. This alternative sentencing holds women accountable for their criminal behavior while affording them and their children a chance to lead more healthy and productive lives as the mothers complete their sentences.
