The review was prompted by a letter from a California Rehabilitation Center inmate dated March 13, 2000, reporting a backlog in the inmate appeal process. The Office of the Inspector General was subsequently told by staff at the California Rehabilitation Center that the backlog at the institution for processing inmate appeals was six to eight weeks. A backlog of that magnitutde would make it virtually impossible to process inmate appeals within regulatory time limits.
