Chapter 8 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

The Female Community Reentry Programs (FCRP) and Community Participant Mother Program (CPMP) are collaborative efforts between the Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRPDivision of Rehabilitative Programs), Division of Adult Institutions (DAIDivision of Adult Institutions (formerly Institutions Division)), and the Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD)) to successfully reintegrate incarcerated persons back into the community. Incarcerated persons that meet eligibility criteria may serve a portion of their prison sentence in a community facility in lieu of a state prison. The FCRP and CPMP are residential facilities located in the community. The FCRP and CPMP programs focus on providing a parenting environment to support building family structures and both programs provide community-based programming relative to the participants’ criminogenic needs as identified through their Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions (COMPAS) assessment or case plans. The programming is accomplished through certified instruction by contract staff at the facility as well as community-based program referrals to established DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) and county programs. Once approved and released to the program, the incarcerated person shall be considered a participant in the program. Participants shall receive any sentence reduction credits they would have received had they served their sentence in a State prison in accordance with California Code of Regulations (CCRCalifornia Code of Regulations), Title 15, section 3044(b)(7)(F). Participants may be returned to an institution to serve the remainder of their prison term at any time, with or without cause.

Penal Code (PCPenal Code) section 5054.1 shall be used when arresting or placing a hold on a participant or in the event of an escape. PCPenal Code sections 3056, 3000.08, and 1203.2 shall not be used when arresting or placing a hold on a participant. Arrests of participants by Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD)) staff shall be conducted in accordance with DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) policy.

PCPenal Code section 1170.05 requires CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to utilize continuous electronic monitoring to ensure participants abide by the requirement that they are restricted to the FCRP or CPMP facility during designated hours. Electronic monitoring shall be used for all participants. The application of an electronic monitoring device for participants is not considered a penalty or sanction, but rather a statutorily mandated supervision tool. A curfew shall be established for all participants. Participants must agree to all terms and conditions, to include mandatory electronic monitoring. Modifications to traditional electronic monitoring shall be completed in accordance with Department Operations Manual (DOMDepartment Operations Manual) section 81024.5.

The Institution Classification Committee (ICCInstitution Classification Committee) may place a female incarcerated person in any FCRP or CPMP site, regardless of County of Last Legal Residence (CLLRCounty of Last Legal Residence). When determining which FCRP or CPMP site is appropriate, the ICCInstitution Classification Committee shall consider all relevant case factors, including, but not limited to:

• Planned county of parole or Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS).

• Proximity to family.

• Work or school availability.

• Proximity to previous aggravating factors (e.g. alcohol/narcotics abuse, gang activity, etc.).

• Documented enemy concerns, restraining orders, or victim concerns.

• Previous FCRP or CPMP placements.

DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) staff assigned to FCRP or CPMP facilities shall normally be a Parole Agent II (Specialist). The FCRP or CPMP will be staffed with a Correctional Counselor (CCCorrectional Counselor) III and contract vendor staff. The CCCorrectional Counselor III is the on-site Program Manager. The Parole Agent II (Specialist) will be the Case Manager and maintain security by providing daily supervision of participants. Successful operation of the FCRP or CPMP requires DRPDivision of Rehabilitative Programs, DAIDivision of Adult Institutions (formerly Institutions Division), and DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) staff to work collaboratively.

The Parole Agent II (Specialist) assigned to the FCRP or CPMP shall carry all safety equipment as outlined in DOMDepartment Operations Manual Chapter 8, Articles 39 and 46. For the purposes of these staff, the FCRP or CPMP site shall be considered the field. Firearms, batons, and Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) shall not be stored at the facility overnight.

After tentatively approving an incarcerated person for FCRP or CPMP participation, the DRPDivision of Rehabilitative Programs,FCRP, or CPMP CCCorrectional Counselor III shall email a copy of the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 2234- FCRP, Female Community Reentry Application and Voluntary Agreement or CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 415, Community Participant Mother Program – Application, and CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 611-A, Alternative Custody Program Information Sheet, to the Parole Agent II (Specialist) at the designated FCRP or CPMP facility.

Upon receipt of the FCRP or CPMP file request, parole unit support staff shall:

Participants in a FCRP or CPMP shall have a curfew special requirement documented on the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1516-FCRP or CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 415-L:

• The curfew range shall be no less than any uninterrupted 8-hour span. Participants shall normally remain in the FCRP or CPMP facility between the hours of 08:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. every day, in accordance with the FCRP or CPMP program guide. Participants shall be allowed to leave the facility for employment, when attending a verified school program, or employment search or interview. Participants are also allowed to go to medical or dental appointments as approved. Participants shall be escorted by program staff for other personal appointments or when going to a store.

The start and end time of the curfew range may be adjusted to accommodate participants’ verified hours of work, school, and training. All requests to modify the 10-hour curfew requirement for activities unrelated to work, school, or training shall require a case conference between the Parole Agent II (Specialist) and CCCorrectional Counselor III. The case conference shall be documented on the electronic Record of Supervision (ROS) located in SOMSStrategic Offender Management, and CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1502, Activity Report. In the event of a medical emergency, if the CCCorrectional Counselor III is not available, the Parole Agent II (Specialist) may authorize leave.

The following will serve as a guideline when a participant has violated established curfew restrictions. If the duration of the curfew violation falls within the following parameters:

• Less than 20 minutes – the participant shall be verbally admonished.

• 21-120 minutes – the Parole Agent II (Specialist), CCCorrectional Counselor III, and Contract Program Director shall case conference the issue. Disciplinary action may be taken (e.g. phase down, loss of privileges, etc.), or the case may be elevated to the FCRP/CPMP Captain, for Return to Institution (RTI) consideration.

• Greater than 120 minutes or a second offense greater than 20 minutes – the participant may be removed from the facility by initiating RTI procedures. The Parole Agent II (Specialist), CCCorrectional Counselor III, and Contract Program Director shall case conference with the FCRP/CPMP Captain to determine the participant’s suitability to remain in the community. The FCRP/CPMP Captain shall make the final decision to initiate RTI procedures.

The data collected from the electronic monitoring device is retained indefinitely and may be shared with other law enforcement agencies.

The installation of the electronic monitoring device shall be accomplished the day the participant arrives at the facility. Under no circumstances shall the participant be without electronic monitoring beyond the first business day after release to the FCRP or CPMP. If there are extenuating circumstances that result in any deviation from the statutory electronic monitoring requirement, the Parole Agent II (Specialist), CCCorrectional Counselor III, and Contract Program Director shall case conference with DRPDivision of Rehabilitative Programs Administration to determine if RTI is warranted. The FCRP/CPMP Captain shall make the final decision to initiate RTI procedures.

• Pregnant participants of the CPMP shall be monitored utilizing a DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) approved, non-traditional global positioning system (GPSGlobal Positioning System) tracking device for the duration of their pregnancy only. Upon childbirth and return to the CPMP, the participant shall be placed on the traditional GPSGlobal Positioning System equipment unless circumstances requiring equipment modifications exist.

• If the non-traditional equipment being utilized by a participant is a two-piece tracking solution device and the participant leaves the facility without taking both pieces of the device, escape procedures shall be followed.

All electronic monitoring system alerts such as low battery, strap tampers, or other equipment alerts shall be investigated and documented in accordance with the DAPODivision of Adult Parole Operations (formerly P&CSD) Confidential Memorandum on Electronic Monitoring Alerts. Alerts that are deemed to be Program Violations and all curfew violations shall be documented on the electronic ROS and the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Form 1502. A copy shall be forwarded to the CCCorrectional Counselor III within the established timelines. The FCRP/CPMP Captain shall make the final decision to initiate RTI procedures.

The zone shall be active for periods during which the participant is required to be on program grounds. The alert level of the zone shall require the electronic monitoring vendor to contact the Parole Agent II (Specialist) immediately by phone if the zone is violated. If the participant is granted leave, the zone schedule may be adjusted so that an alert is not generated when the participant is authorized to be away from the facility.

The Parole Agent II (Specialist) shall create inclusion zones over any area where the participant has a required recurring activity. The Parole Agent II (Specialist) shall perform all necessary enrollment/unenrollment, activation/deactivation tasks, installing or uninstalling of the electronic monitoring device, or retrieving the electronic monitoring device.
