Did you know that the three-year recidivism rate in California for adult inmates is about 60 percent? How about the fact that adult and youth offender fire crews save the State of California more than $80 million annually by fighting wildfires? Or that the number of juveniles in state's Division of Juvenile Justice has declined by nearly 6,500 over the past decade? A new publication, Corrections - Moving Forward, contains these facts and more as part of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) efforts to provide a consistent and comprehensive understanding of today's corrections challenges. The new corrections data contains key information regarding inmate populations and the impact of 3-strikes as well as the California Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation's budget and accomplishments. "Transparency in government begins with making information available to as many people as possible," said CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate. "Through the Internet, our collection of data bases and Office of Research, we have worked hard to keep statistics on offender population and programs current and accessible. Corrections - Moving Forward collects key facts from our expansive correctional system into one comprehensive report. As we face the challenges ahead, using current data to reflect on our population demographics will be crucial. We hope you find this new resource helpful in learning more about our agency." This publication has been designed to provide a general overview of significant challenges of California's biggest governmental unit. Information is divided by gender, and age in some cases, so that trends facing specific populations can be explored. Information was provided by the Office of Research, CDCR Budget Office, the Division of Juvenile Justice Research branch, Division of Adult Institutions, and Division of Adult Programs. This report was produced and printed entirely by CDCR staff to minimize cost while providing much needed information for legislative members, department staff, journalists and others interested in an accurate statistical picture of CDCR's issues and challenges.
