Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

52010.2.1 Goal Statement

• The CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation utilizes a variety of methods for testing inmates and parolees to detect the use of controlled substances and alcohol, and responds to confirmed positive tests with sanctions, interventions, or both. The purpose of the testing, sanctions, and interventions are to reduce drug use,  hold  individuals  accountable  for  their  actions,  provide  opportunities  for  long-term  recovery  from  addiction,  and  increase  institutional  security  and  public  safety.  All CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation inmates and parolees are subject to testing.
