Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Non-adverse
				  transfers.
(1) A non-adverse transfer is movement
				  of an inmate to a less restrictive institution or program where the security level
				  is the same or lower, movement to a secure perimeter from a non-secure camp or Level
				  1 (Minimum Support Facility) setting by order of the prison administration for
				  non-adverse reasons or transfers from reception centers.
(2) With the exception of inmates assigned to Work
				  Group F, an inmate transferred for non-adverse reasons shall retain their work and
				  privilege group status. Inmates assigned to Work Group F shall revert to Work Group
				  M effective the date removed from camp or institution fire fighter assignment or as
				  appropriate per CCR 3044.
(3) An inmate
				  in a work assignment at the sending institution shall be placed on an existing
				  waiting list at the receiving institution. If eligible, inmates on waiting lists at
				  sending institutions shall be merged into the receiving institution's waiting list
				  based on credit earning status, release date, and the length of time they have spent
				  on the sending institution's waiting list. Inmates who are day-for-day eligible per
				  Penal Code section
				  2933 shall be given
				  priority for assignment with the exception of Senate Bill (SB) 618 Participants who,
				  as defined in section
				  3000, pursuant to the provisions of
				  subsection 3077.3(b)(1), and
				  subject to the provisions of 3077.3(f), shall be placed at the top of an
				  institution's waiting list and given priority for assignment. Inmates shall be
				  merged into the receiving institution's waiting list in the following manner:
(A) First, SB 618 Participants. Those SB 618
				  Participants having the earliest release date shall be given first
				  priority.
(B) Second, those inmates who
				  are day-for-day credit eligible, approved for the program and are not assigned, Work
				  Group A-2. Inmates eligible to earn credits per Penal Code section
				  2933 shall be given
				  second priority for placement on waiting lists and the inmate with the earliest
				  release date shall be given priority.
(C) Third, inmates who are day-for-day credit
				  eligible and are already designated Work Group A-1. Inmates eligible to earn credits
				  per Penal Code section
				  2933 shall be given
				  next priority for placement on waiting lists and the inmate with the earliest
				  release date shall be given priority.
(D) Fourth, those inmates who are not Penal Code
				  section
				  2933 day-for-day
				  credit eligible and are already designated Work Group A-1. Inmates will be placed on
				  waiting lists based upon the work group effective date.
(E) Fifth, those inmates who are not Penal Code
				  section
				  2933 day-for-day
				  credit eligible and are not assigned, Work Group A-2. Inmates will be placed on
				  waiting lists based upon the work group effective date.
(4) An inmate in approved Rehabilitative Programs
				  managed by DRP, as defined in section
				  3000, at the sending institution shall
				  be placed on the waiting list for the same or similar program, at the receiving
				  institution if available. If the receiving institution's program is unavailable, the
				  inmate shall be placed on an existing waiting list at the receiving institution.
(A) The primary determinants for priority
				  placement are as follows:
1. Cognitive Behavioral
				  Interventions shall include the inmate's projected release date, a health care
				  services referral to CBI; or a criminogenic need identified by an automated needs
				  assessment tool as listed in sections
				  3375.6 and
				  3768.1.
2. The inmate's projected release date and the
				  California Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) as described in Section
				  3768.1 shall be the primary
				  determinants for priority placement into Academic Education, Career Technical
				  Education, and Transitions.
a. Inmates with a
				  moderate or high risk shall take priority over those with a low risk for Career
				  Technical Education programs.
