    • Direct the county to deliver the prisoner to an alternate RCReception Centers with available beds; or

    • Verify that CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is currently unable to accept delivery of the prisoner at any RCReception Centers.

• If a county refuses or is unable to deliver the prisoner to the designated or alternate RCReception Centers, the county will no longer be eligible for reimbursement.

If a county attempts to deliver a prisoner to CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation without notifying ICU and the RCReception Centers is unable to accept delivery of the prisoner, the date of notification will be the date the county attempts to deliver the prisoner to CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In the event beds become available at an RCReception Centers for the prisoner whose delivery was initially denied, CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will notify the county of the bed availability and the county shall arrange for delivery of the prisoner to the identified RCReception Centers.
