Conclusion
This report demonstrates how recidivism
varies among offenders by their
personal characteristics such as gender,
race, age, and mental health status, as
well as by their arrest histories and
behavior while under CDCR custody
and supervision. These findings are
consistent with other jurisdictions across
the United States and have important
implications for correctional policy and
practice.
viii
Definition of Terms
California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA)
The CSRA is an actuarial tool that utilizes demographic and criminal history data to
predict an offenders risk of recidivating at the time they are released from CDCR.
Offenders are categorized as low, moderate or high risk of incurring a new criminal
conviction.
Cohort
A group of individuals who share a common characteristic, such as all inmates who
were released to parole during a given year.
Controlling Crime or Commitment Offense
The most serious offense on the conviction for which the inmate was sentenced to
prison on that term.
Correctional Clinical Case Management System (CCCMS)
The CCCMS facilitates mental health care by linking inmate/patients to needed
services and providing sustained support while accessing such services. CCCMS
services are provided as outpatient services within the general population setting at
all institutions.
Determinate Sentencing Law (DSL)
Established by Penal Code Section 1170 in 1976, Determinate Sentencing Law
identifies a specified sentence length for convicted felons who are remanded to
State prison. Essentially, three specific terms of imprisonment (low, middle, and
high) are assigned for crimes, as well as enhancements (specific case factors that
allow judges to add time to a sentence). Opportunities to earn credits can reduce
the length of incarceration.
Developmental Disability Program (DDP)
A designation applied to inmates with developmental disabilities to ensure that they
are accurately identified; provided with appropriate classification, housing, and
protection; and not subjected to discrimination.
Enhanced Outpatient Program (EOP)
A mental health services designation applied to a severely mentally ill inmate
receiving treatment at a level similar to day treatment services.
First Release
The first release on the current term for felons with new admissions and parole
violators returning with a new term (PV-WNT).
Indeterminate Sentencing Law (ISL)
Established by Penal Code Section 1168 in 1917, the Indeterminate Sentencing
Law allowed judges to determine a range of time (minimum and maximum) a
convicted felon would serve. Different felons convicted for the same crimes could
spend varying lengths of time in prison; release depended on many factors,
including each prisoners individual conduct in prison. After the minimum sentence
passed, felons were brought to a parole board that would identify the actual date of
release. Indeterminate Sentencing was replaced by Determinate Sentencing
(Penal Code Section 1170) in 1976. After the implementation of Determinate
ix
Sentencing, only individuals with life sentences and third strikers are considered
indeterminately sentenced, since the parole board determines their release.
Institutional Mission
Institutions are designated with a mission that meets the security level or special
purpose required for the inmates being housed. Reception centers process
incoming inmates. Levels I, II, III, and IV house male general population inmates
according to their security classification (low, medium, high-medium, and
maximum). Female institutions provide female offenders with gender-responsive
supervision, treatment, and services. Camps and other facilities house low-level
inmates while providing rehabilitative treatment through work, vocation, academic
and substance abuse programs. Institutions may have one or more missions
according to the security needs and/or special purposes.
Manual California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA)
Inmates who do not have automated criminal history data available from the
Department of Justice (DOJ) must have their CSRA score calculated manually.
This is done with a review of a paper copy of the inmates rap sheet. Manual
scores calculated in FY 2007-08 are not readily available for some inmates
included in this report.
Offender Types-Juvenile
707(b)/290 Offenders
Youth committed to DJJ with an offense included in Welfare and Institutions Code
707(b), and/or youth required to register as sex offenders under Penal Code
section 290. Youth committed to DJJ from adult court are considered a 707(b)
case whether or not their commitment offense is included in Welfare and
Institutions Code 707(b).
Non-707(b)/290 Offenders
All other DJJ youth who were committed to DJJ with commitment offenses not
falling under Welfare and Institutions Code 707(b) or Penal Code section 290.
Parole
A period of conditional supervised release following a prison term.
Parole Violation (Law)
A law violation occurs when a parolee commits a crime while on parole and returns
to CDCR custody (RTC) by action of the Board of Parole Hearings rather than by
prosecution in the courts.
Parole Violation (Technical)
A technical violation occurs when a parolee violates a condition of his/her parole
that is not considered a new crime and returns to CDCR custody (RTC).
Parole Violator Returning With a New Term (PV-WNT)
A parolee who receives a court sentence for a new crime committed while under
parole supervision and returned to prison.
Registered Sex Offender
An inmate is designated as a registered sex offender if CDCR records show that
the inmate has at some point been convicted of an offense that requires
registration as a sex offender under Penal Code Section 290. This designation is
permanent in CDCR records.
Re-Release
After a return to prison for a parole violation, any subsequent release on the same
(current) term is a re-release.
Serious Felony Offenses
Serious felony offenses are specified in Penal Code Section 1192.7(c) and Penal
Code Section 1192.8.
Stay
A stay is any period of time an inmate is housed in a CDCR institution. Each time
an inmate returns to prison it is considered a new stay, regardless of the reason for
returning.
Substance Abuse Program (SAP)
CDCR offers in-prison and post-release, community-based substance abuse
treatment programs designed to reduce offender alcohol abuse and eliminate
offender drug use.
Term
A term is a sentence an inmate receives from a court to be committed to CDCR for
a length-of-time. If an inmate is released after serving a term and is later returned
to prison for a parole violation, the inmate returns and continues serving the
original (current) term. If that inmate returns for committing a new crime, the
inmate begins serving a new term.
Violent Felony Offenses
Violent felony offenses are specified in Penal Code Section 667.5(c).

2 Evaluation Design
2.1 Objectives and Purpose of the Evaluation
This report presents the recidivism rates for CDCR inmates and
DJJ youth. The report also examines how adult recidivism rates
vary across time and place, by person (personal and offender
characteristics), by incarceration experience (e.g., length-of-stay),
and by CDCR adult missions and institutions.
In this report, an
adult recidivist is
defined as a
convicted felon who
was released from
CDCR in
FY 2007-08 and
subsequently
returned to CDCR
within a three-year
follow-up period.

3 Methods
This report presents recidivism rates from a three-year follow-up
period for all felons who were released from DAI and youth
released from DJJ between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008
(FY 2007-08). The adult cohort includes inmates who were
released to parole for the first time on their current term and
inmates who were directly discharged, as well as inmates who
were released to parole on their current term prior to FY 2007-08,
returned to prison on this term, and were then re-released during
FY 2007-08. The juvenile cohort includes youth who were
released for the first time on their current term as well as those
who were re-released after a return to custody. Figures, charts,
and graphs illustrate the relationship between descriptive
variables (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, age at parole) and
recidivism rates for adults. Expanded analyses of these variables
are available in Appendix C.
4 Adult Institutions
4.1 Release Cohort Description
Nearly 60 percent of the release cohort was made up of first
releases while 42.3 percent were re-releases. Many of the
distributions for the personal and offender characteristics of first
releases were similar to those of the total recidivism cohort.
Personal Characteristics
A total of 116,015 adult men and women were released from
CDCR adult institutions in FY 2007-08 (Table 1). Males
outnumbered females approximately nine to one. There was a
nearly even distribution of inmates between the age of 20 and 44
at release; few inmates were between the age of 18 and 19
(0.6 percent). After 45 to 49 years of age, the number of inmates
declined; individuals over age 60 represented roughly 1 percent of
the cohort.
The majority of inmates were Hispanic/Latino
(38.2 percent), followed by White (31.5 percent) and Black/African
American (25.8 percent). Less than 5 percent were Native
American/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
or Other.
Offender Characteristics
The top 12 counties receiving the largest number of parolees are
presented in Table 1, with the remaining counties grouped into the
All Others category. The majority of the inmates paroled to
Los Angeles County (25.9 percent). Of the remaining large
counties in California, the top three that received paroled inmates
were San Bernardino (8.6 percent), Orange (7.7 percent), and
San Diego (6.4 percent). The bottom three were Santa Clara
(3.0 percent), San Joaquin (2.4 percent), and Ventura
(1.5 percent). In the previous 2011 Adult Institutions Outcome
Evaluation Report, Stanislaus was depicted since it had a release
population within the top 12 of all county releases. This year,
Stanislaus was replaced by Ventura.
About two-thirds of the FY 2007-08 recidivism cohort include
inmates who had served their current term for a property crime or
a drug crime. Slightly more than 23 percent were committed to
CDCR for a crime against persons and approximately 12 percent
were committed for other crimes. Almost all inmates had a
determinate sentence.
Approximately seven percent of the release cohort were required
to register as a sex offender. In addition, 21 percent of the
release cohort were committed for a crime that was considered to
Re-released
felons made up
42.3 percent of
the recidivism
cohort.
Institutional Mission4
Approximately 21 percent of the FY 2007-08 cohort were released
from a Level II institution. Another 28.1 percent were released
from a reception center. Combined, this accounts for almost half
of all releases during FY 2007-08. Among first releases only,
slightly more than 20 percent were released from a Level III or
Level IV institution. Over half of re-releases were released from a
reception center.
The vast majority (94.3 percent) of the release cohort had never
been assigned to a Security Housing Unit (SHU) at any point
during their term, while 5.7 percent has been assigned to a SHU.
Programs
Only 1.5 percent of the release cohort were in the Developmental
Disability Program (DDP).
Over 13 percent of the release cohort had participated in the
Substance Abuse Program (SAP) while incarcerated.
Nearly a quarter (23.0 percent) of the cohort were identified via a
COMPAS assessment as having a substance abuse need while
the remainder of the cohort either had no assessment prior to
release or were assessed and found to have no substance abuse
need.

Figure 1 and Table 2 show the total three-year recidivism rate for
the FY 2007-08 cohort is 63.7 percent. The recidivism rate for
re-releases is 20.3 percentage points higher than for first releases.
When examining the recidivism rates as time progresses, most
inmates who return to prison do so in the first year after release.
The overall recidivism rate for the FY 2007-08 cohort is
1.4 percentage points lower than the FY 2006-07 cohort. This
reduction is primarily due to the reduction in the recidivism rates
for the first releases, which decreased by 1.8 percentage points,
although there was also a small (1.0 percentage point) reduction
for those who were re-releases.
Re-releases
recidivate at a
higher rate than
first-releases.

Figure 5 and Table 6 show the three-year recidivism rates for all
releases are highest among White, Black/African-American, and
Native American/Alaska Native race/ethnicity groups, ranging from
65.9 percent to 71.5 percent. The overall recidivism rate for all
other race/ethnicity groups is roughly 57 percent.
Although small in number, the Native American/Alaska Native and
Asian first and re-release groups recidivate at rates slightly higher
than the other race/ethnicity groups. Moreover, the recidivism rate
for first releases who are Hispanic/Latino (the largest group
represented in the cohort) is over 10 percentage points lower than
that of all other race/ethncity groups combined (49.3 percent
versus 59.3 percent).
The 2011 Adult Institutions Outcome Evaluation Report showed
that recidivism rates by race/ethnicity for the FY 2006-07 cohort
did not vary between first releases and re-releases. This finding is
not evident for the FY 2007-08 cohort as the recidivism rates
decreased overall within first releases and within re-releases. The
decreases, however, were much larger within the first releases
group.
Comparison of the FY 2006-07 and FY 2007-08 cohort first
releases shows declines in recidivism rates for all ethnic groups
with the exception of Others which had a 1.4 percentage point

Figure 10 and Table 11 show that for total releases, the three-year
recidivism rate for offenders required to register as a sex offender
(sex registrants) is 5.8 percentage points higher than those who
are not. Sex registrants have a slightly higher recidivism rate than
non-registrants for first releases and re-releases (5.1 percentage
points and 1.6 percentage points, respectively).
The three-year recidivism rate increased 2.2 percentage points for
sex registrants from FY 2006-07 to FY2007-08. Conversely, the
rate for non-registrants decreased 1.7 percentage points.
19
Recidivism rates were not calculated when fewer than 30 inmates were
released.
30
Examination into this finding reveals that across the three years,
the greatest increase occurred in the one-year recidivism rates for
sex registrants (+4.2 percentage points). As reported previously,
this may be an artifact of CDCR policies related to Jessicas Law,
passed in November 2006, which led to increased supervision of
sex registrants.

The EOP and CCCMS are CDCR designations and do not necessarily
reflect a clinical (e.g., Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) mental health
diagnosis.
35
October 2012
recidivism rates for the EOP and CCCMS inmates are higher
(76.7 and 70.6 percent, respectively) than those for inmates who
did not have a mental health code designation (62.0 percent).
At the end of three years, first-release inmates with an EOP
designation recidivate at a higher rate (71.4 percent) than those
designated as CCCMS (62.9 percent). In addition, first releases
who were served by the EOP have a recidivism rate that is
17.8 percentage points higher than those who did not have a
mental health code designation, and first-release inmates served
by the CCCMS recidivated at a rate that was 9.3 percentage
points higher. In contrast, the recidivism rates for re-released
mental health inmates did not differ much from non-mental health
inmates. Re-released inmates who were EOP or CCCMS have a
higher recidivism rate (80.6 percent and 77.3 percent,
respectively) than non-mental health inmates (74.6 percent).
When compared to the FY 2006-07 cohort, EOP inmates had the
greatest recidivism rate increase (+1.6 percentage points) while
those with no mental health code designation had the greatest
recidivism rate decrease (-1.9 percentage points).

Figure 21 and Table 23 show that across all three years inmates
who were assigned to a SHU recidivate at a higher rate than those
who have were not assigned to a SHU.
First-release inmates who were assigned to a SHU recidivate at a
rate 4.1 percentage points higher than first-release inmates who
were not assigned to a SHU (59.0 percent and 54.9 percent,
respectively).
Re-release inmates who were assigned to a SHU recidivate at a
rate nearly two percentage points higher than re-release inmates
who were not assigned to a SHU (77.2 percent and 75.3 percent,
respectively).
Comparison of FY 2007-08 to FY 2006-07 shows that across all
categories, with the exception of SHU re-releases whose rate
remained exactly the same, the recidivism rates decreased
between 1.1 and 2.7 percentage points.
See Appendix E for detailed rates of recidivism for inmates
housed in a SHU by CDCR institution.

5 Juvenile Facilities
5.1 Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ)
Californias juvenile justice system is made up of county and
State-level facilities, each operating evidence-based rehabilitative
programs. Compared to other states, Californias State-level
juvenile justice system serves an older youth population who
commit serious offenses. During FY 2007-08, the DJJ was
responsible for the confinement, rehabilitation, and parole
supervision of youth adjudicated or sentenced to the State level.
Prior to September 2007, youth with either felony or misdemeanor
adjudications were eligible for commitment to DJJ. However, due
to the belief that youthful offenders could be better served at the
local level where services and family are close at hand, Senate
Bill 81 (SB 81) was passed and continued the fundamental shift of
keeping lower level offenders close to home near local treatment
services and support from their families and the community at
large.
This legislation limited the type of youth who could be committed
to DJJ. Only youth whose most recent sustained offense was
listed under Welfare and Institutions Code (W&IC) 707(b),
violent offenses, or an offense listed in Penal Code (PC) 290.008,
sex offenses, (henceforth, 707(b)/290) are eligible for
commitment to DJJ. In addition, this legislation required that non707(b) offenders be returned to the county of commitment upon
release for community supervision, rather than DJJ parole.
Detailed recidivism rates on these populations (current and prior)
are available in Appendix B.

Personal Characteristics
The 1,419 youth who comprised the FY 2007-08 release cohort
were predominantly male (94.4 percent).
The largest
race/ethnicity group in the release cohort was Hispanic
(47.6 percent). African Americans made up 33.1 percent of youth
released in FY 2007-08, and Whites represented 14.4 percent of
the cohort. Youth identified as Asian/Pacific Islander made up
3.5 percent of the release cohort, while Native Americans/Alaska
Natives represented 0.9 percent. The same pattern of findings
was true for 707(b)/290 youth and non-707(b)/290 youth.
Most youth released were between the ages of 16 and 17 when
first admitted to DJJ (61.7 percent). Few were 14 or younger
(6.2 percent) or 19 or older (1.6 percent) at admission. Ninety-five
percent of the youth were 18 years or older at their time of release
(i.e., no longer minors). Youth with the 707(b)/290 status were
much more likely to be released at age 21 or older (53.3 percent)
than non-707(b)/290 youth (5.8 percent).
Offender Characteristics
The majority of youth in the FY 2007-08 release cohort were
released after their first time in the DJJ (57.5 percent), with the
remaining being re-released (42.5 percent). The 707(b)/290 youth
were almost equally likely to be a first release as a re-release
(51.5 percent and 48.5 percent respectively). The non-707(b)/290
youth in this cohort were more likely to be first releases
(68.8 percent) than re-releases (31.3 percent).
In terms of most serious commitment offense, youth in the
FY 2007-08 cohort were most often charged with crimes against
persons (64.0 percent), followed by property crimes
(20.3 percent). Differences between these groups were also
found by most serious commitment offense. Eighty-three percent
of the 707(b)/290 youth were committed for crimes against
persons compared to 29.0 percent of their non-707(b)/290
counterparts. Conversely, only 6.9 percent of the 707(b)/290
youth were committed for property crimes compared to
45.2 percent of the non-707(b)/290 youth.
Within the 707(b)/290 category are youth who committed both
serious, violent crimes [W&IC 707(b)] and sex crimes requiring
their registration as sex offenders (PC 290). As shown in
Table 28, 55.0 percent of the youth released in FY 2007-08 were
707(b) offenders, 4.4 percent were 290s, 4.5 percent of the youth
released were both 707(b) and 290 cases, and 1.1 percent of the
youth were admitted to DJJ from Superior Court. Thirty-five
percent of the youth were neither 707(b) nor 290 cases.

a volunteer basis and the program is funded through donations.
The program currently has over 300 students enrolled who, on
average, take 2 courses per semester.
Unlike the rest of this report, the PUP section is not based on a
release cohort from FY 2007-08. Due to the small number of PUP
graduates who have been released into the community, this
analysis includes all offenders who graduated from PUP since
1996 and were subsequently released from prison with enough
time in the community for a one year follow-up, regardless of the
year in which the release occurred.
In this analysis, recidivism rates are calculated for two different
groups of felons. The first group reflects the 37 offenders who
graduated from PUP (i.e., earned an associates degree) prior to
being paroled. The second is a matched comparison group of
33 felons who have characteristics similar to the 37 offenders who
graduated from PUP, but were not involved in the PUP program.
The comparison group was created by matching on the following
characteristics: gender, age group, race/ethnic group, sentence
type, release type, offense category, year of release, and housed
at San Quentin.
PUP graduates,
although small in
number, have
a low one-year
recidivism rate.

Figure 29 and Table 32 show that those who graduated from the
PUP program and earned an associates degree prior to releasing
from prison had a one-year recidivism rate of 5.4 percent. The
matched comparison group who had no involvement with PUP
had a one-year recidivism rate at 21.2 percent. These findings
should be interpreted with caution because of the limited number
of felons who were released. Furthermore, both groups contain
individuals with characteristics associated with low recidivism
rates. Specifically, these two groups are entirely comprised of
first-releases, the majority of whom were older with indeterminate
sentences.

7 Conclusion
Recidivism rates are key indicators of correctional performance
that are impacted by all aspects of the correctional system. This
report provides a glimpse into many of these factors. It is
intended to provide a comparison to measure future performance
and evaluate the impact of CDCR rehabilitative programs,
policies, and practices.
Appendix A
One-, Two- and Three-Year Recidivism Rates for
Arrests, Convictions, and Returns to Prison for Adult Felons
Released Between FYs 2002-03 and 2009-10
Presented in the three figures and tables below are recidivism rates for up to
eight years for adult felons released from CDCR by arrests, convictions, and
returns to prison. Shown first are the one-year recidivism rates for all adult felon
releases from FY 2002-03 through FY 2009-10.1 This figure provides the most
years of comparative data. While one year of follow-up is the shortest time frame
presented, it is a good indicator of recidivism (as indicated previously in this
report) since almost 75 percent of felons who recidivate do so within the first year
of release. To provide as complete a picture as possible, these one-year rates
are followed by two- and three-year recidivism rates.2

The data contained in these charts and tables were extracted in June 2012 to minimize the
effects of the time lag in data entry into state systems
Recidivism rates are frozen at three years, meaning that after three years the follow-up period
is considered to be completed and no further analyses are performed. As such, reported rates
may fluctuate slightly for the one- and two-year rates as data used in subsequent reporting years
will likely increase, particularly for Arrests and Convictions since these data are routinely
updated in accordance with criminal justice system processing.

Rates for Arrests and Convictions only include those felons where an automated criminal
history record was available from the Department of Justice. These records are necessary to
measure recidivism by arrest and conviction. Total numbers released for these measures are
therefore smaller than those used to compute Returns to Prison.*

The number released depicted for Fiscal Year 2006-07 was erroneously reported in the 2010
Adult Institutions Outcome Evaluation Report and was subsequently corrected in the 2011 Adult

One-, Two- and Three-Year Recidivism Rates for
Arrests, Convictions, Returns to DJJ, Return/Commitment to DAI,
and Any State-Level Incarceration for Juvenile Offenders
Released Between FYs 2004-05 and 2009-10
Presented in the three figures and tables below are recidivism rates for up to six

returns to DJJ, return/commitment to DAI, and any State-Level incarceration.
Shown first are the one-year recidivism rates for all juvenile offenders released
from FY 2004-05 through FY 2009-10. This figure provides the most years of
