Unforturnately, regardless of the implications of the cited report, it is unlikely that CDCR will actually make any truly effective reform. As an organization it is not at all reform oriented. Most parole officers come from the prison, carry their seniority, and are as disillusioned as I am with the system. The parole system is not about analyzing data, seeking information and making decisions. It is much more about picking the easy violation and sending the parolee back to prison to keep everyone employed and the CPOA (prison officer's union) a powerful political organization. At the street level reform, rehabilitation and reintigration are words without meaning. Yes, there are some good officers both at Parole and at the prisons but their efforts are swalloded by the indifference and apathy of majority. Sad but true.

Instead, another politician will sponsor another proposition that will placate the public outcry, further alienate and restrict all offenders, both high and low risk, but fail to actually increase public safety.

There needs to be a beeter way. One that properly blends reform, rehabilitation and reintegration with meaningful, effectively directed supervision. Sadly, this is not what is on the horizon.
