LAO Compromise: Proposals to Reduce Inmate and Parole Populations

Benefits of LAO Compromise:

  • Would generate $398 million in General Fund savings... in the budget year. This amount would increase significantly in 2009-10, thereby providing an ongoing budget solution.
  • The LAO package includes a series of proposals that are consistent with recommendations of national experts on corrections, such as earned discharge and additional credits for completing rehabilitation programs. Our approach would increase offender accountability and provide incentives for offenders to participate and complete programs designed to reduce recidivism. The LAO package reduces public safety risk compared to early release or the broad use of summary parole or direct discharge.
