LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2499, as amended, Bonilla. Offenders: home detention programs.

begin insertExisting law, subject to exceptions, generally makes persons convicted of a felony subject to incarceration in a county jail.end insert

begin insert

Existing law requires, unless the court finds it is not in the interest of justice, that a period of the concluding portion of a county jail term be served on mandatory supervision, which is a period of suspended execution of the term supervised by county probation. Existing law provides that mandatory supervision commences upon release from custody.

This bill would instead provide that unless otherwise ordered by the court, mandatory supervision would commence upon release from physical custody or an alternative custody program, whichever is later.

Existing law provides that the board of supervisors of any county may authorize the correctional administrator to offer a program under which inmates committed to a county jail or other county correctional facility or granted probation, or inmates participating in a work furlough program, may voluntarily participate or involuntarily be placed in a home detention program during their sentence in lieu of confinement in the county jail or other county correctional facility or program. Existing law requires the correctional administrator to provide specified information about a participant upon request of the police department of a city where an office is located to which persons on an electronic monitoring program report. Existing law requires any information received by a police department pursuant to that request to be used only for the purpose of monitoring the impact of home electronic monitoring programs in the community.

Existing law provides that the county board of supervisors may authorize the correctional administrator to offer a program under which inmates being held in lieu of bail in a county jail or other county correctional facility may participate in an electronic monitoring program if certain conditions are met. Existing law requires the correctional administrator to provide specified information about a participant upon request of a local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the location where a participant in an electronic monitoring program is placed. Existing law requires any information received by a law enforcement agency pursuant to that request to be used only for the purpose of monitoring the impact of home electronic monitoring programs in the community.

This bill would add to the information subject to those requests,begin insert at the discretion of the corrections administrator and solely for investigatory purposes,end insert current and historic GPS location data, if available. The bill would recast the provisions restricting the use of that information to prohibit a law enforcement agency that does not have the primary responsibility to supervise participants in the electronic monitoring program that receives the requested information from using the information to conduct enforcement actions based on administrative violations of the home detention program. The bill would require that an agency that has knowledge that the subject in a criminal investigation is a participant in an electronic monitoring program to make reasonable efforts to notify the supervising agency prior to serving a warrant or taking any law enforcement action against a participant in an electronic monitoring program.

By imposing additional requirements on local agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law requires that when a defendant has been in custody, including, but not limited to, any time spent in a jail, camp, work furlough facility, and other specified facilities, all days of custody of the defendant, including, home detention for inmates who otherwise would be in jail in lieu of bail, are credited toward the term of imprisonment or toward any fine. Existing law also provides that the time spent in these facilities or programs qualifies as mandatory time in jail if the statute under which the defendant is sentenced requires a mandatory minimum period of time in jail.

This bill would include other home detention programs for the purpose of crediting days in custody for those purposes. The bill would remove the requirement that the statute under which the defendant is sentenced requires a mandatory minimum period of time in jail in order for the time spent in those facilities or programs to qualify as mandatory time in jail.

By increasing the administrative responsibilities of local agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law provides that a prisoner, who, for specified reasons, is confined in or committed to a county jail, industrial farm, or road camp, or any city jail, industrial farm, or road camp, shall, for each 4 day period of custody, have one day deducted from the prisoner’s period of confinement, unless it appears by the record that the prisoner has refused to satisfactorily perform labor as assigned by the sheriff, chief of police, or superintendent of an industrial farm or road camp. Existing law additionally requires for those prisoners, that for every 4 days of confinement, one day to be deducted from the prisoner’s period of confinement, unless it appears by the record that the prisoner has not satisfactorily complied with the reasonable rules and regulations established by the sheriff, chief of police, or superintendent of an industrial farm or road camp.

This bill would apply those provisions to persons who arebegin delete confined on or after January 1, 2015,end deletebegin insert participantsend insert in specified home detention programs.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

1170.  

(a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that the
5purpose of imprisonment for crime is punishment. This purpose
6is best served by terms proportionate to the seriousness of the
7offense with provision for uniformity in the sentences of offenders
8committing the same offense under similar circumstances. The
9Legislature further finds and declares that the elimination of
10disparity and the provision of uniformity of sentences can best be
11achieved by determinate sentences fixed by statute in proportion
12to the seriousness of the offense as determined by the Legislature
13to be imposed by the court with specified discretion.

14(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Legislature further finds
15and declares that programs should be available for inmates,
16 including, but not limited to, educational programs, that are
17designed to prepare nonviolent felony offenders for successful
18reentry into the community. The Legislature encourages the
19development of policies and programs designed to educate and
20rehabilitate nonviolent felony offenders. In implementing this
21section, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is
22encouraged to give priority enrollment in programs to promote
23successful return to the community to an inmate with a short
P5    1remaining term of commitment and a release date that would allow
2him or her adequate time to complete the program.

3(3) In any case in which the punishment prescribed by statute
4for a person convicted of a public offense is a term of imprisonment
5in the state prison of any specification of three time periods, the
6court shall sentence the defendant to one of the terms of
7imprisonment specified unless the convicted person is given any
8other disposition provided by law, including a fine, jail, probation,
9or the suspension of imposition or execution of sentence or is
10sentenced pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1168 because he
11or she had committed his or her crime prior to July 1, 1977. In
12sentencing the convicted person, the court shall apply the
13sentencing rules of the Judicial Council. The court, unless it
14determines that there are circumstances in mitigation of the
15punishment prescribed, shall also impose any other term that it is
16required by law to impose as an additional term. Nothing in this
17article shall affect any provision of law that imposes the death
18penalty, that authorizes or restricts the granting of probation or
19suspending the execution or imposition of sentence, or expressly
20provides for imprisonment in the state prison for life, except as
21provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). In any case in which
22the amount of preimprisonment credit under Section 2900.5 or any
23other provision of law is equal to or exceeds any sentence imposed
24pursuant to this chapter, the entire sentence shall be deemed to
25have been served and the defendant shall not be actually delivered
26to the custody of the secretary. The court shall advise the defendant
27that he or she shall serve a period of parole and order the defendant
28to report to the parole office closest to the defendant’s last legal
29residence, unless the in-custody credits equal the total sentence,
30including both confinement time and the period of parole. The
31sentence shall be deemed a separate prior prison term under Section
32667.5, and a copy of the judgment and other necessary
33documentation shall be forwarded to the secretary.

34(b) When a judgment of imprisonment is to be imposed and the
35statute specifies three possible terms, the choice of the appropriate
36term shall rest within the sound discretion of the court. At least
37four days prior to the time set for imposition of judgment, either
38party or the victim, or the family of the victim if the victim is
39deceased, may submit a statement in aggravation or mitigation. In
40determining the appropriate term, the court may consider the record
P6    1in the case, the probation officer’s report, other reports, including
2reports received pursuant to Section 1203.03, and statements in
3aggravation or mitigation submitted by the prosecution, the
4defendant, or the victim, or the family of the victim if the victim
5is deceased, and any further evidence introduced at the sentencing
6hearing. The court shall select the term which, in the court’s
7discretion, best serves the interests of justice. The court shall set
8forth on the record the reasons for imposing the term selected and
9the court may not impose an upper term by using the fact of any
10enhancement upon which sentence is imposed under any provision
11of law. A term of imprisonment shall not be specified if imposition
12of sentence is suspended.

13(c) The court shall state the reasons for its sentence choice on
14the record at the time of sentencing. The court shall also inform
15the defendant that as part of the sentence after expiration of the
16term he or she may be on parole for a period as provided in Section
173000.

18(d) (1) When a defendant subject to this section or subdivision
19(b) of Section 1168 has been sentenced to be imprisoned in the
20state prison and has been committed to the custody of the secretary,
21the court may, within 120 days of the date of commitment on its
22own motion, or at any time upon the recommendation of the
23secretary or the Board of Parole Hearings, recall the sentence and
24commitment previously ordered and resentence the defendant in
25the same manner as if he or she had not previously been sentenced,
26provided the new sentence, if any, is no greater than the initial
27sentence. The court resentencing under this subdivision shall apply
28the sentencing rules of the Judicial Council so as to eliminate
29disparity of sentences and to promote uniformity of sentencing.
30Credit shall be given for time served.

31(2) (A) (i) When a defendant who was under 18 years of age
32at the time of the commission of the offense for which the
33defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for life without the
34possibility of parole has served at least 15 years of that sentence,
35the defendant may submit to the sentencing court a petition for
36recall and resentencing.

37(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), this paragraph shall not apply
38to defendants sentenced to life without parole for an offense where
39the defendant tortured, as described in Section 206, his or her
40victim or the victim was a public safety official, including any law
P7    1enforcement personnel mentioned in Chapter 4.5 (commencing
2with Section 830) of Title 3, or any firefighter as described in
3Section 245.1, as well as any other officer in any segment of law
4enforcement who is employed by the federal government, the state,
5or any of its political subdivisions.

6(B) The defendant shall file the original petition with the
7sentencing court. A copy of the petition shall be served on the
8agency that prosecuted the case. The petition shall include the
9defendant’s statement that he or she was under 18 years of age at
10the time of the crime and was sentenced to life in prison without
11the possibility of parole, the defendant’s statement describing his
12or her remorse and work towards rehabilitation, and the defendant’s
13statement that one of the following is true:

21codefendant.

22(iv) The defendant has performed acts that tend to indicate

25or vocational programs, if those programs have been available at
26his or her classification level and facility, using self-study for
27self-improvement, or showing evidence of remorse.

28(C) If any of the information required in subparagraph (B) is
29missing from the petition, or if proof of service on the prosecuting
30agency is not provided, the court shall return the petition to the
31defendant and advise the defendant that the matter cannot be
32considered without the missing information.

33(D) A reply to the petition, if any, shall be filed with the court
34within 60 days of the date on which the prosecuting agency was
35served with the petition, unless a continuance is granted for good
36cause.

37(E) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that
38the statements in the petition are true, the court shall hold a hearing
39to consider whether to recall the sentence and commitment
40previously ordered and to resentence the defendant in the same
P8    1manner as if the defendant had not previously been sentenced,
2provided that the new sentence, if any, is not greater than the initial
3sentence. Victims, or victim family members if the victim is

21mental illness, developmental disabilities, or other factors that did
22not constitute a defense, but influenced the defendant’s
23involvement in the offense.

24(vi) The defendant has performed acts that tend to indicate
25rehabilitation or the potential for rehabilitation, including, but not
26limited to, availing himself or herself of rehabilitative, educational,
27or vocational programs, if those programs have been available at

6(H) If the sentence is not recalled, the defendant may submit
7another petition for recall and resentencing to the sentencing court
8when the defendant has been committed to the custody of the

8(4) Any physician employed by the department who determines

4for a person convicted of a public offense is a term of imprisonment
5in the state prison of any specification of three time periods, the
6court shall sentence the defendant to one of the terms of
7imprisonment specified unless the convicted person is given any
8other disposition provided by law, including a fine, jail, probation,
9or the suspension of imposition or execution of sentence or is
10sentenced pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1168 because he
11or she had committed his or her crime prior to July 1, 1977. In
12sentencing the convicted person, the court shall apply the
13sentencing rules of the Judicial Council. The court, unless it
14determines that there are circumstances in mitigation of the
15punishment prescribed, shall also impose any other term that it is
16required by law to impose as an additional term. Nothing in this
17article shall affect any provision of law that imposes the death
18penalty, that authorizes or restricts the granting of probation or
19suspending the execution or imposition of sentence, or expressly
20provides for imprisonment in the state prison for life, except as
21provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). In any case in which
22the amount of preimprisonment credit under Section 2900.5 or any
23other provision of law is equal to or exceeds any sentence imposed
24pursuant to this chapter, the entire sentence shall be deemed to
25have been served and the defendant shall not be actually delivered
26to the custody of the secretary. The court shall advise the defendant
27that he or she shall serve a period of parole and order the defendant
28to report to the parole office closest to the defendant’s last legal
29residence, unless the in-custody credits equal the total sentence,
30including both confinement time and the period of parole. The
31sentence shall be deemed a separate prior prison term under Section
32667.5, and a copy of the judgment and other necessary
33documentation shall be forwarded to the secretary.

34(b) When a judgment of imprisonment is to be imposed and the
35statute specifies three possible terms, the court shall order
36imposition of the middle term, unless there are circumstances in
37aggravation or mitigation of the crime. At least four days prior to
38the time set for imposition of judgment, either party or the victim,
39or the family of the victim if the victim is deceased, may submit
40a statement in aggravation or mitigation to dispute facts in the
P15   1record or the probation officer’s report, or to present additional
2facts. In determining whether there are circumstances that justify
3imposition of the upper or lower term, the court may consider the
4record in the case, the probation officer’s report, other reports,
5including reports received pursuant to Section 1203.03, and
6statements in aggravation or mitigation submitted by the
7prosecution, the defendant, or the victim, or the family of the victim
8if the victim is deceased, and any further evidence introduced at
9the sentencing hearing. The court shall set forth on the record the
10facts and reasons for imposing the upper or lower term. The court
11may not impose an upper term by using the fact of any
12enhancement upon which sentence is imposed under any provision
13of law. A term of imprisonment shall not be specified if imposition
14of sentence is suspended.

15(c) The court shall state the reasons for its sentence choice on
16the record at the time of sentencing. The court shall also inform
17the defendant that as part of the sentence after expiration of the
18term he or she may be on parole for a period as provided in Section
193000.

20(d) (1) When a defendant subject to this section or subdivision
21(b) of Section 1168 has been sentenced to be imprisoned in the
22state prison and has been committed to the custody of the secretary,
23the court may, within 120 days of the date of commitment on its
24own motion, or at any time upon the recommendation of the
25secretary or the Board of Parole Hearings, recall the sentence and
26commitment previously ordered and resentence the defendant in
27the same manner as if he or she had not previously been sentenced,
28provided the new sentence, if any, is no greater than the initial
29sentence. The court resentencing under this subdivision shall apply
30the sentencing rules of the Judicial Council so as to eliminate
31disparity of sentences and to promote uniformity of sentencing.
32Credit shall be given for time served.

33(2) (A) (i) When a defendant who was under 18 years of age
34at the time of the commission of the offense for which the
35defendant was sentenced to imprisonment for life without the
36possibility of parole has served at least 15 years of that sentence,
37the defendant may submit to the sentencing court a petition for
38recall and resentencing.

39(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), this paragraph shall not apply
40to defendants sentenced to life without parole for an offense where
P16   1the defendant tortured, as described in Section 206, his or her
2victim or the victim was a public safety official, including any law
3enforcement personnel mentioned in Chapter 4.5 (commencing
4with Section 830) of Title 3, or any firefighter as described in
5Section 245.1, as well as any other officer in any segment of law
6enforcement who is employed by the federal government, the state,
7or any of its political subdivisions.

8(B) The defendant shall file the original petition with the
9sentencing court. A copy of the petition shall be served on the

29self-improvement, or showing evidence of remorse.

30(C) If any of the information required in subparagraph (B) is
31missing from the petition, or if proof of service on the prosecuting
32agency is not provided, the court shall return the petition to the
33defendant and advise the defendant that the matter cannot be
34considered without the missing information.

35(D) A reply to the petition, if any, shall be filed with the court
36within 60 days of the date on which the prosecuting agency was
37served with the petition, unless a continuance is granted for good
38cause.

39(E) If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that
40the statements in the petition are true, the court shall hold a hearing
P17   1to consider whether to recall the sentence and commitment
2previously ordered and to resentence the defendant in the same
3manner as if the defendant had not previously been sentenced,
4provided that the new sentence, if any, is not greater than the initial
5sentence. Victims, or victim family members if the victim is
6 deceased, shall retain the rights to participate in the hearing.

21trauma, or significant stress.

22(v) The defendant suffers from cognitive limitations due to
23mental illness, developmental disabilities, or other factors that did
24not constitute a defense, but influenced the defendant’s
25involvement in the offense.

26(vi) The defendant has performed acts that tend to indicate
27rehabilitation or the potential for rehabilitation, including, but not
28limited to, availing himself or herself of rehabilitative, educational,

8(H) If the sentence is not recalled, the defendant may submit
9another petition for recall and resentencing to the sentencing court
10when the defendant has been committed to the custody of the
11department for at least 20 years. If recall and resentencing is not
12granted under that petition, the defendant may file another petition

21contact the inmate’s emergency contact and provide the information
22described in paragraph (2).

23(5) The warden or the warden’s representative shall provide the
24prisoner and his or her family member, agent, or emergency

4information and make an independent judgment pursuant to
5paragraph (2) and make findings related thereto before rejecting
6the request or making a recommendation to the court. This action
7shall be taken at the next lawfully noticed board meeting.

8(7) Any recommendation for recall submitted to the court by

Section 1203.016 of the Penal Code is amended to
20read:

21

1203.016.  

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the board of
22supervisors of any county may authorize the correctional
23administrator, as defined in subdivision (h), to offer a program
24under which inmates committed to a county jail or other county
25correctional facility or granted probation, or inmates participating
26in a work furlough program, may voluntarily participate or
27involuntarily be placed in a home detention program during their
28sentence in lieu of confinement in the county jail or other county
29correctional facility or program under the auspices of the probation
30officer.

31(b) The board of supervisors, in consultation with the
32correctional administrator, may prescribe reasonable rules and
33regulations under which a home detention program may operate.
34As a condition of participation in the home detention program, the
35inmate shall give his or her consent in writing to participate in the
36home detention program and shall in writing agree to comply or,
37for involuntary participation, the inmate shall be informed in
38writing that he or she shall comply, with the rules and regulations
39of the program, including, but not limited to, the following rules:

P23   1(1) The participant shall remain within the interior premises of
2his or her residence during the hours designated by the correctional
3administrator.

4(2) The participant shall admit any person or agent designated
5by the correctional administrator into his or her residence at any
6time for purposes of verifying the participant’s compliance with
7the conditions of his or her detention.

8(3) The participant shall agree to the use of electronic
9monitoring, which may include global positioning system devices
10or other supervising devices for the purpose of helping to verify
11his or her compliance with the rules and regulations of the home
12detention program. The devices shall not be used to eavesdrop or
13record any conversation, except a conversation between the
14participant and the person supervising the participant which is to
15be used solely for the purposes of voice identification.

16(4) The participant shall agree that the correctional administrator
17in charge of the county correctional facility from which the
18participant was released may, without further order of the court,
19immediately retake the person into custody to serve the balance
20of his or her sentence if the electronic monitoring or supervising
21devices are unable for any reason to properly perform their function
22 at the designated place of home detention, if the person fails to
23remain within the place of home detention as stipulated in the
24agreement, if the person willfully fails to pay fees to the provider
25of electronic home detention services, as stipulated in the
26agreement, subsequent to the written notification of the participant
27that the payment has not been received and that return to custody
28may result, or if the person for any other reason no longer meets
29the established criteria under this section. A copy of the agreement
30shall be delivered to the participant and a copy retained by the
31correctional administrator.

32(c) Whenever the peace officer supervising a participant has
33reasonable cause to believe that the participant is not complying
34with the rules or conditions of the program, or that the electronic
35monitoring devices are unable to function properly in the
36designated place of confinement, the peace officer may, under
37general or specific authorization of the correctional administrator,
38and without a warrant of arrest, retake the person into custody to
39complete the remainder of the original sentence.

P24   1(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the
2correctional administrator to allow a person to participate in this
3program if it appears from the record that the person has not
4satisfactorily complied with reasonable rules and regulations while
5in custody. A person shall be eligible for participation in a home
6detention program only if the correctional administrator concludes
7that the person meets the criteria for release established under this
8section and that the person’s participation is consistent with any
9reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the board of
10supervisors or the administrative policy of the correctional
11administrator.

12(1) The rules and regulations and administrative policy of the
13program shall be written and reviewed on an annual basis by the
14county board of supervisors and the correctional administrator.
15The rules and regulations shall be given to or made available to
16any participant upon request.

17(2) The correctional administrator, or his or her designee, shall
18have the sole discretionary authority to permit program
19participation as an alternative to physical custody. All persons
20referred or recommended by the court to participate in the home
21detention program pursuant to subdivision (e) who are denied
22participation or all persons removed from program participation
23shall be notified in writing of the specific reasons for the denial
24or removal. The notice of denial or removal shall include the
25participant’s appeal rights, as established by program administrative
26policy.

27(e) The court may recommend or refer a person to the
28correctional administrator for consideration for placement in the
29home detention program. The recommendation or referral of the
30court shall be given great weight in the determination of acceptance
31or denial. At the time of sentencing or at any time that the court
32deems it necessary, the court may restrict or deny the defendant’s
33participation in a home detention program.

34(f) The correctional administrator may permit home detention
35program participants to seek and retain employment in the
36community, attend psychological counseling sessions or
37educational or vocational training classes, or seek medical and
38dental assistance. Willful failure of the program participant to
39return to the place of home detention not later than the expiration
40of any period of time during which he or she is authorized to be
P25   1away from the place of home detention pursuant to this section
2and unauthorized departures from the place of home detention are
3punishable as provided in Section 4532.

4(g) The board of supervisors may prescribe a program
5administrative fee to be paid by each home detention participant
6that shall be determined according to his or her ability to pay.
7Inability to pay all or a portion of the program fees shall not
8preclude participation in the program, and eligibility shall not be
9enhanced by reason of ability to pay. All program administration
10and supervision fees shall be administered in compliance with
11Section 1208.2.

12(h) As used in this section, “Correctional administrator” means
13the sheriff, probation officer, or director of the county department
14of corrections.

15(i) Notwithstanding any other law, the police department of a
16city where an office is located to which persons on an electronic
17monitoring program report may request the county correctional
18administrator to provide information concerning those persons.
19This information shall be limited to the name, address, date of
20birth, offense committed by the home detainee, and if available,

34(j) It is the intent of the Legislature that home detention
35programs established under this section maintain the highest public
36confidence, credibility, and public safety. In the furtherance of
37these standards, the following shall apply:

38(1) The correctional administrator, with the approval of the
39board of supervisors, may administer a home detention program
40pursuant to written contracts with appropriate public or private
P26   1agencies or entities to provide specified program services. No
2public or private agency or entity may operate a home detention
3program in any county without a written contract with that county’s
4correctional administrator. However, this does not apply to the use
5of electronic monitoring by the Department of Corrections and
6Rehabilitation. No public or private agency or entity entering into
7a contract may itself employ any person who is in the home
8detention program.
