To ensure public safety, CDCR works collaboratively with Federal, State, County, City, and other organizations.<br><br>CDCR\u2019s Sex Offender Management Program (SOMP) was implemented in September 2014, incorporating a collaborative approach to sex offender supervision and management. This meets the statutory requirements outlined in California Penal Code (PC) Section 3008 (also known as Chelsea\u2019s Law). Intended for the management of all parolees required to register with law enforcement pursuant to PC Section 290, the SOMP is an evidence-based approach to sex offender management utilizing the \u201cContainment Model,\u201d which incorporates four elements including supervision, treatment, polygraph, and victim advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"laws-related-to-sex-offender-parolees\">Laws Related to Sex Offender Parolees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"megan-s-law\">Megan&#8217;s Law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Megan\u2019s Law addresses registration requirements.&nbsp;<\/strong>This law, signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on September 24, 2004, allowed the public to see information about sex offenders required to register with local law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meganslaw.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit the Megan\u2019s Law website for more information and access the state database<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jessica-s-law\">Jessica&#8217;s Law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jessica\u2019s Law deals with proximity and tracking.<\/strong>&nbsp;Jessica\u2019s Law was passed by California voters on Nov. 7, 2006 and increased the penalties for sex offenders, broadened the definition of certain sexual offenses, eliminated good time credits for early release of certain offenders, prohibited probation for certain crimes, extended parole for some offenses, increased court-imposed fees on sex offenders and provided for lifelong GPS monitoring of high risk sex offenders. The law also prohibited sex offender parolees released from prison on or after Nov. 8, 2006 from residing within 2,000 feet of any school and park where children congregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residency restrictions for Jessica\u2019s Law <strong>shall not be enforced<\/strong> as a blanket restriction.
