Summary

Existing law requires that all persons released from prison on and after October 1, 2011, after serving a prison term for a felony, be subject to postrelease community supervision provided by a county agency for a period of 3 years immediately following release, except for persons released after serving a term for a serious felony, a violent felony, an offense for which the person was sentenced pursuant to the Three Strikes law, a crime where the person is classified as a High Risk Sex Offender, or a crime where the person is required to undergo treatment by the State Department of State Hospitals because the person has a severe mental disorder. This bill would authorize a court, upon a motion by the district attorney, or upon the court's own motion, to, at the time of sentencing, order a person who will serve a term in a state prison for a crime that is not a serious felony, violent felony, an offense for which the person was sentenced pursuant to the Three Strikes law, a crime where the person is classified as a High Risk Sex Offender, or a crime where the person is required to undergo treatment by the State Department of State Hospitals because the person has a severe mental disorder, to be released on parole rather than postrelease community supervision after serving his or her term in prison. The bill would specify a procedure for the court to determine when a person meeting those criteria would be directed to parole. The bill would make additional conforming changes.
