   An act to amend Section 3081 of the Penal Code, relating to county
parole.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 884, Bonilla. County Board of Parole Commissioners: parole
terms.
   Existing law establishes a board of parole commissioners in each
county, and requires the board to consider applications for parole
from locally incarcerated inmates. Existing law allows a county board
to release a prisoner on parole for a term not to exceed 2 years,
with supervision and under conditions as may seem fit and proper for
the prisoner's rehabilitation.
   This bill would instead allow a county board to release a prisoner
on parole for a term not to exceed 3 years.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 3081 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
   3081.  (a) Each county board may retake and imprison any prisoner
upon parole granted under the provisions of this article.
   (b) Each county board may release any prisoner on parole for a
term not to exceed three years upon those conditions and under those
rules and regulations as may seem fit and proper for his or her
rehabilitation, and should the prisoner so paroled violate any of the
conditions of his or her parole or any of the rules and regulations
governing his or her parole, he or she shall, upon order of the
parole commission, be returned to the jail from which he or she was
paroled and be confined therein for the unserved portion of his or
her sentence.
   (c) The written order of each county board shall be a sufficient
warrant for all officers named therein to authorize them, or any of
them, to return to actual custody any conditionally released or
paroled prisoner. All chiefs of police, marshals of cities, sheriffs,
and all other police and peace officers of this state shall execute
any such order in like manner as ordinary criminal process.
   (d) In computing the unserved sentence of a person returned to
jail because of the revocation of his or her parole no credit shall
be granted for the time between his or her release from jail on
parole and his or her return to jail because of the revocation of his
or her parole.
