54100.23.3 Parolee Appeals of Lost or Damaged Property during Release To Parole

  • When a paroled inmate alleges property loss or damage, the parolee shall submit the appeal to the institution where he or she last relinquished the property, unless the parolee has documentation to indicate the property was in the possession of another CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation entity. Parolees who relinquished their property to a federal, county, or other State agency official should seek resolution directly with that entity. When it is established that the Department is responsible for a parolee’s property loss or damage during release to parole, the sending institution shall settle the claim, regardless of where the loss or damage occurred.
