Corrections oversees 33 adult correctional institutions, conservation camps, community correctional facilities, and contracts to house inmates in out-of-state facilities. Further, Corrections provides health care to inmates at each adult facility and through external contractors. The inmate health care function transitioned to a federal court-appointed receiver and is now known as California Prison Health Care Services (Health Care Services). Corrections is also responsible for implementing rehabilitative strategies to successfully reintegrate offenders into communities. -- To be more cost-effective and improve its management, we recommended that Corrections collect and use data associated with factors that affect the cost of its operations. We also recommended that Corrections develop a staffing plan allocating teacher and instructor positions for its education and vocational programs at each institution based on inmates’ needs and to track and use historical inmate program assignment and waiting list data to measure program success. Additionally, we recommended that Corrections encourage the Department of Personnel Administration to exclude provisions in bargaining unit agreements that would permit any type of leave to be counted as time worked for the purpose of computing overtime compensation and negotiate a reduction in the amount of voluntary overtime correctional officers are allowed to work.
