SASTATE Y PRISONERS MOVED TO COUNTY WILL DO BETTER UNDER LOCAL SUPERVISION New law aimed at reducing state prison population took effect Oct.1 179 Volume 8, Issue 52 October 14, 2011 www.community-newspapers.com BY CAROL ROSEN PHOTOGRAPH BY JACQUELINE RAMSEYER Rumors are flying that the state is releasing former Sugar prisoners either to county jails or city streets, thus sig- nificantly affecting the quality of life in San Jose. But according to Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith and District Attorney Jeff Rosen, AB109, the bill that became law on Oct. 1, does not allow for criminals to be let out of jail early. Instead, it puts prisoners leaving state prisons into county probation systems rather than Fix state parole offices. It also will keep prisoners whose crimes are considered nonviolent, non-serious and nonsexual in county jails rather than putting them into state-run prisons. The bill is designed to ease overcrowding in state prisons and save the state money. But it also may have a secondary benefit of keeping some lower-level offenders away from hardened criminals. In addition, Santa Clara County’s probation department has been more success- ful than parole officers in reintroducing offenders to society, says Rosen. It’s more than Smith says she thinks fears are misplaced that these offenders will immediately begin committing new crimes. “The prisoners would be coming out anyway. It’s just a case of who will supervise these people—a county proba- just a sweet tion department or a state parole office.” Concerns among residents that these former prisoners could become repeat offenders could be valid, but Smith and Rosen note the county’s probation department, tooth along with a number of rehabilitation programs, could page 9 prove more successful than parole monitoring has been. “Offenders with serious prior strikes will be released under community supervision. They will be monitored Jail, page 7 First Class: Bellarmine College Preparatory dedicates the new Lokey Academic Center ................................page 6 Flower Power: Floral designers interpret artworks at the Triton Museum of Art ............................... page 10 Visit our Special A My Town News Pages NEWSPAPER Jill Escher, the founder of Sugar Addiction Awareness Day, which is Oct. 30, plans to give away stuffed animals instead of candy to trick-or-treaters at her home on Halloween.
