74060.7 Reentry Referral of Direct Discharge Cases

• To ensure that direct discharge cases are referred to the P&CSDParole & Community Services Division (see DAPO) for reentry screening, facilities shall:

  • Identify inmates under PCPenal Code 1170 commitments where the period of parole has been waived by the BPT.

  • Complete Section A of the RPSRelease Program Study on these cases and refer them to the parole region.

• Inmates with direct discharge dates may request reentry consideration. Direct discharge cases shall be referred to P&CSDParole & Community Services Division (see DAPO) in the same manner as pre-parole referrals.

• As a means of distinguishing direct discharge cases from pre-parole referrals, institution staff shall ensure that the parole date block of Section A of the RPSRelease Program Study includes the word “DISCHARGE” in capital letters after the release date. Additionally, the C&PRClassification & Parole Representative comment section shall include the notation “Direct Discharge.” Attachments to the RPSRelease Program Study shall be the same as pre-parole referrals. Direct discharge cases shall not be referred to the parole units.
