• Report: State's prison system locked in failure .
• SACRAMENTO (AP) — California spends billions inefficiently cycling thousands of inmates to parole and back to prison, lagging other states that have found better ways, a state commission said in a report Thursday.
• Local law enforcement, prison critics and commissioners said they were skeptical of promises by the California Department of Corrections to overhaul the system in January.
• The state paroles more than 125,000 inmates each year, 70 percent of whom will be back in prison within 18 months for new crimes or parole violations. Just 21 percent complete their supervision, half the success rate nationally and worse than any other state except Utah.
• The state spends $1. ...
• Parolees will get more preparation before and after they leave prison, and California will begin imitating other states that often give parole violators home detention, electronic monitoring, drug treatment or short jail sentences instead of sending them back to prison.
• "California has been way out of whack on how many parolees we send back for technical violations," said Rose Braz of the prison reform group Critical Resistance. "It's ridiculous that California has continued to grow while other states are seeing fewer inmates and are closing prisons. California has not taken these really obvious, really simple steps that could really reduce spending. ...
• Many of the department's steps and the commission's recommendations already are working elsewhere, says the report by the bipartisan, independent group formally called the Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy.
• "The commission was disturbed and disappointed that California was so out of sync with other states," said Zimmerman. "If California were more like other states, fewer parolees would be returned to prison. ...
