CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Program's Bureau of Justice Assistance, is
seeking applications for funding for the Second Chance Act Adult Reentry Initiative. Applicants
are limited to state and local government agencies. The purpose of the Second Chance Act is to
provide support to enable state, local, and tribal governments to develop and implement
comprehensive and collaborative strategies to address the challenges posed by prisoner reentry
and to reduce recidivism. The grant application is due March 4, 2010.
The Second Chance Act funding opportunity is timely given the number of parolees in the City
of San Bernardino, approximately 2,000 at any given time,including 240 parolees who are
registered sex offenders; and, the potential release of 40,000 state prisoners in the next 12-18
months. A federal court three judge panel, formed under the provisions of the Prison Litigation
Reform Act,ruled last August that substandard health care received by inmates in California's
adult prisons violates the U.S. Constitutions' ban on cruel and unusual punishment, and prison
overcrowding is the primary reason. That ruling has been appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court
by the State of California. The federal court's order if upheld by the Supreme Court, combined
with the state budget crisis,has led to the pending reduction in the state prison population.
Back rg ound
The Mayor's Office received a California Department of Corrections (CDCR) Intergovernmental
Partnership Grant in December of 2006. On November 26,2007, the Mayor and Common
Council hosted a public hearing on the issue of parolee reentry. A Mayor's Parolee Reentry Ad
Hoc Committee was established to study the issue of parolees in the City of San Bernardino; and,
a contract was approved with the CSUSB Center(Center) for the Study of Correctional
Education to assist with the research.
The Center provided a report to the Ad Hoc Committee in July 2008. The report indicated that
"San Bernardino has long been home to a disproportionate number of parolees. While CDCR has
been in compliance with California Penal Code Section 3003 (a)requiring parolees to be
released to the County of last legal residence, the City of San Bernardino is home to 10 percent
of the County's population and 23 percent of the County's parolees. This disparity is greater than
any other California county seat of comparable size. These data clearly show the City of San
Bernardino to have a need greater than most regarding the issues of parolee reentry."
In June 2008,the Center surveyed 179 reentering parolees at the San Bernardino Parole Office
P.A.C.T. (Parole and Corrections Together)meetings. The surveys found that 95% of the
respondents lived in the City of San Bernardino prior to arrest and serving time in state prison.
The Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee has not met for well over a year, as there were no opportunities
to fund parolee reentry services due to the State budget crisis.
The Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee through the course of its meetings collaborated with a number
of organizations, including the CSUSB Center and a variety of non-profit partners, on the
CREST program design.
1
The Community Reentry Education/Employment Service and Training(CREST)program is a
collaboration of nonprofit, state, county and local agencies proposing to provide comprehensive
reentry services to parolees and their families through evidence-based programming at a day
reporting center. The goal of CREST is to improve the quality of life for residents of San
Bernardino by implementing services that will increase public safety by holding parolees
accountable with increased supervision; and,by providing necessary services for successful
reintegration back into society. Those services include a variety of enhanced interventions
including:
• Assessment
• Random drug testing
• Substance abuse and mental health treatment
• Job training and placement
• Comprehensive Case Management
• Family reunification/strengthening
The CREST program design meets the intent, and service requirements of the Second Chance
Act funding. CSUSB has asked the City of San Bernardino, via discussions with the Mayor's
Office,to be a partner in the CREST program; and, to serve as the local governmental agency to
apply for the Second Chance Act funds.
The CSUSB Center for Correctional Education, the lead agency for the CREST partnership, was
recently notified of a new funding opportunity by the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR). The Center will receive $1.2 million starting July 1,2010, for a Day
Reporting Center(DRC). The DRC is a component of the CREST model.
The Second Chance Act funding is $750,000 per year for up to three years. There is a local 50
percent match to the federal funds. It is proposed that the City of San Bernardino apply for the
grant funds to meet grant application requirements; then, if awarded the grant, contract with the
Center as lead agency for CREST to provide parolee reentry services for parolees who are
residents of the City of San Bernardino. The 50%match requirement will be met by California
State University San Bernardino with the state DRC funds. If for any reason CSUSB does not
receive the funds,the City will not accept the Second Chance Act grant award funds.
Matthew Cate, the Secretary for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, has
been in contact with the Mayor's Office to affirm CDCR support for the use of the state DRC
funds as match to the federal Second Chance Act funds; and, CDCR support for reentry services
in the City of San Bernardino.

Program Narrative (Attachment 1)
1. Statement of the Problem: California(CA) is grappling with unprecedented parolee reentry
issues. CA is home to 123,764 of the 729,782 U.S. parolees released from state run correctional
facilities in 2008. In that same year 178,180 parolees were returned to state prisons. California
alone was responsible for 83,984 of those-47% of all return to custody cases in the U.S. (Glaze
& Bonczar, 2009). CA contains 12% of the U.S. population but 17%of U.S. parolees (Travis&
Lawrence, 2002). Additionally, the City of San Bernardino (City) is home to 10% of the
County's population but houses 23% of the county's parolees, a disparity greater than any
California county seat of comparable size. Of those same county seats, the City has the highest
percentage of its population below the poverty level and lowest average household income
(Rennie, Eggleston & Riggs, 2008).
Understanding the need to inform the public on issues in parolee reentry, the City hosted
a Workshop on Parolee Reentry in November, 2007. As a result of the forum, Mayor Patrick
Morris created the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee on Parolee Reentry. Members of the Mayor's
Ad Hoc Committee consists of three City Council Members, law enforcement, the City Attorney,
community-based organizations, community members, subject matter experts and representatives
from educational institutions. On behalf of the Mayor's Ad Hoc Committee, utilizing an
Intergovernmental Planning Grant from the California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR), the Center for the Study of Correctional Education (CSCE) at the
California State University-San Bernardino (CSUSB) completed an in-depth survey of parolees
returning to the San Bernardino area in the summer of 2008. The results indicate a dire need for
reentry services of all types. The City is home to over 2,000 CDCR parolees-1.12% of the City
population. Of the 179 local parolees surveyed: 81% are minorities, 21% are homeless, 34%

have no high school diploma or GED; over 50% reported needing food, shelter, clothing,
transportation, and medical care, and 60% reported needing help obtaining employment (Rennie,
Eggleston& Riggs, 2008).
Nearly all CA inmates are placed on a three year parole upon release from prison with a
small amount of gate money and ordered to report to a local parole office within a few days.
Little or no time has been spent prior to release to assist the inmate in obtaining employment or
training necessary for successful reentry. The majority of inmates leave prison without savings,
without immediate entitlement to unemployment benefits, and with poor prospects for
employment. Parolees often owe thousands of dollars in child support, financial restitution to the
State, and owe credit card or other debt. When rare college programs are offered inside, they are
often paid for with loans taken out by the inmates. CDCR's own Expert Panel also found that
only 7.4% of inmates were involved in academic instruction, 5.5% in vocational programming,
and 4.6% in substance abuse training (CDCR, 2007). Rehabilitation is unlikely to come about
through incarceration alone. Ex-offenders often return to society without State issued
identification or the skills necessary to obtain employment—and a permanent mark of"felon" on
their record. These factors suggest that economic stability is a key to reducing recidivism,
consistent with the longstanding thinking that holding good job would help keep parolees from
returning to prison (Listwan, Cullen, & Latessa, 2006).
On January 25, 2010 the CDCR, as directed by Senate Bill X3 18 (SB X3 18) began an
early release program for non-violent, non-serious offenders in an effort to reduce seriously
overcrowded prisons(CDCR, 2009). These newly released inmates are not placed on mandatory
three year parole, but are still subject to standard parolee search and seizure conditions. This
move allows parole resources to be focused on those offenders who have the greatest need. An

expected release of 6,500 inmates represents 3.8%of the CDCR inmate population, only very
slightly affecting the large number of parolees released in California each year. SB X3 18
provides for only serious, violent, gang-involved, inmates with in-custody infractions and/or sex
offenders to be placed on formal parole. The CDCR recognizes the pressing need to address
reentry issues and has committed to working with the City to meet those needs.
Target Population: The target population for the San Bernardino Second Chance Act (SB
SCA) is comprised of serious, violent, gang-involved, inmates with in-custody infractions and/or
sex offenders, who lived in the City prior to incarceration and are housed at either the California
Institution for Men (CIM) or the California Institution for Women (CIW). Both prisons are
located only 30 miles from the City in Chino, California. There are currently over 400 inmates
identified by CDCR eligible for participation in the SB SCA.
Current Status of Reentry: There is currently one parolee reentry program targeting twenty
female offenders with children in San Bernardino. While San Bernardino County has applied for
AB 900 funding for a secured reentry facility, there are currently no other reentry programs in
San Bernardino County. Through the Foundation for CSUSB a parolee Day Reporting Center
(DRC) will open in July of 2010 utilizing funds provided by the CDCR. The DRC population
will be determined by the California Static Risk Assessment to be of moderate or high risk to
re-offend. As contracted with CDCR, the DRC will not provide pre-release services. The post-
custody services include, but are not limited to, case management with transition plans, courses
in criminal thinking, anger and aggression, general educational and vocational, substance abuse
education, and pro-social relationships. These services will be provided in an effort to assist the
parolees' successful reintegration into their communities upon release from prison. Services
provided will address the criminogenic needs of the participating offenders that contribute to re-

offending behaviors. The goal is to reduce recidivism through effective community reintegration,
thereby increasing public safety. A minimum of 300 male and female parolees are to be served
annually though this program, and the site will have the ability to accommodate 100 parolees at
any given time. Approximately 15 percent of program participants will be in need of transitional
housing assistance in sober living environments during the treatment episode. CSUSB CSCE
will provide data analysis based on data collection requirements of the CDCR.
2. Project/Program Design and Implementation: After the November, 2007 Parole Workshop
was held in the City, the Mayor's Parolee Ad Hoc Committee convened to examine evidence-
based strategies for increasing community safety through evidence-based parolee reentry
programs. The Community Reentry Education/Employment Services Program (CREST) is a
collaboration of nonprofit, state, county and local agencies joined together to provide
comprehensive reentry services to City parolees and their families through evidence-based
programming thus ensuring positive outcomes for the community at less than half the cost of
reincarceration. The CREST collaborative began working with the City Mayor's Office and
former Secretary of the CDCR, Roderick Q. Hickman in 2006 to develop a parolee reentry
program in the City. As a result of the parolee survey completed by the CSCE at CSUSB and the
planning completed by the CREST Team, the Ad Hoc Committee was supportive of moving
forward with the CREST model. The resulting CREST program plan constitutes the City's
reentry strategic plan. In early 2009, the Community Reentry Education/Employment Services
and Training (CREST) Program presented the comprehensive program to the CDCR's senior
staff. While the program was well-received, CA was in the midst of a"fiscal emergency" and
the program was placed on hold. In June of 2009, CDCR presented the CREST Team with the
offer of$1.2 million for a parolee Day Reporting Center. Even in the midst of severe financial

cuts, Secretary Matthew Cate continues to confirm his belief in the CREST model by providing
funding for the Day Reporting Center. Secretary Cate shows his commitment to San Bernardino
by providing access to information and assistance with entre into CIM and CIW. Secretary
Cate's letter of support is provided as Attachment 3-Letters of Support/Commitment.
SB SCA Overview: The implementation of the DRC is the first step towards achieving the
overall goal of implementation of the CREST Program. The SB SCA will provide for
enhancements necessary to the success of the target population as well as critical additions to the
infrastructure needed in a large collaborative. Utilizing the DRC infrastructure (facility, case
management, substance abuse education, adult basic education, basic employment preparation,
data collection, and program staffing) the SB SCA will provide the following comprehensive
range of activities dedicated enhancements for the target population:
• 1 Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW): The LCSW will be trained in
psychotherapy and have experience working with the target population, including sex
offenders. The LCSW will help individuals deal with a variety of mental health and daily
living problems to improve overall functioning.
2 Case Managers: The two SB SCA case managers will utilize the DOJ Model
Wraparound/Intensive Case Management model to provide individualized support.
• 1 Employment Services Representative: Understanding the extreme needs of the target
population, a full time Employment Services Representative will be dedicated to the SB
SCA clients.
• 2 Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Counselors: With approximately 75% of
incarcerated individuals needing substance abuse treatment, the SB SCA will provide two
full-time Substance Abuse Treatment Counselors experienced in the evidence-based,

of substance abuse treatment.
• Contracted Cognitive Reentry Therapy: SB SCA will provide a Cognitive Reentry
Therapy Program consisting of 4 evidence-based programs. These include: 1) Thinking
for a Change: An integrated cognitive-behavioral program for adult offenders, developed
by the National Institute of Corrections Academy, 2) Changing Offender Behavior: A
complete evidence-based system developed by the Change Companies, featuring
Interactive Journaling research-based training materials, 3) New Directions, an
Investment In The Future utilizes video and audio sessions, written materials, and self-
assessment tools, and 4) The Framework for Breaking Barriers a cognitive reality model
featuring Gordon Graham's critical thinking skills video and work-book training sessions.
• Education/Supportive Services: The SB SCA will provide for individualized education
and supportive service programming for all participants. Through a relationship with the
San Bernardino City Adult School, participants will receive priority registration in fast-
track, high demand industry-related certificate programs. Funding from the SCA will
also provide for key documents and supplies to obtaining employment.
• Restorative Justice: Through a contract with The Restorative Justice Center of the Inland
Empire, victims and offenders specific needs will be addressed. The Restorative Justice
Center of the Inland Empire utilizes victim offender mediation, conflict resolution
trainings, community dialogues and peace-building forums and reentry services.
• Housing: The CSCE Parolee Survey indicated that 21% of parolees returning to San
Bernardino are homeless. The SB SCA will provide housing for 150 days for 11
participants.

While the DRC program utilizes a limited collaborative, the SB SCA will increase the
numbers of funded partners and non-funded or leveraged partners. The capacity of community-
and faith-based nonprofit partners in San Bernardino is limited. A recent report from the James
Irvine Foundation found that Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties of CA) is
not keeping pace with the growth of the region. This report reflects the lack of capacity of
Inland Empire nonprofits in meeting the demands of the region. Funding for the SB SCA will
provide the following capacity and evaluation components:
Expanded program management through monthly Performance Meetings with City
stakeholders in parolee reentry
Expanded evaluation comparing DRC services to SCA in-depth, intensive, individualized
services
• Professional development for all participating providers in working with ex-offenders
• Nonprofit capacity building for all participating providers in basic business practices such
as budgeting, Board development, human resources, outcomes, evaluation, funding
development and leadership training
Implementation of the SB SCA matches the goals set forth in the City Reentry Strategic Plan.
See Attachment 3-Strategic Plan.
Approved Uses of Award Funds: Although all participants will have been evaluated according
to criminogenic risk factors as condition for placement in the SB SCA program, we will utilize
additional assessments beginning during incarceration. The LSI-R needs/risk assessment
instrument will be utilized to determine risk factors and appropriate programming needs. The
results from this instrument will be a vital part of comprehensive case management and will

track individual progress over time. We believe that fourth generation assessment tools such as
the LS/CNII are not yet validated to the extent of the third generation tools.
Criminogenic Needs that Affect Recidivism: All eligible program participants will be enrolled
in a reentry certificate program designed to reduce the rate of recidivism by offering innovate
courses that change the offender's thinking and behavioral skills, empowering offenders to
reenter society and unlock their unlimited potential as responsible, productive, and trustworthy
citizens. Four reentry certificates are available and are described above. These cognitive-based
reentry classes target criminogenic needs and will be taught by a local expert in cognitive
restructuring.
Sustained Case Planning/Management in the Community: All inmates enrolled in the SB
SCA program will begin to receive services while incarcerated. This will include a risk/need
assessment, planning for housing and employment, planning for family reunification, obtaining
government issued identification, and generation of initial reentry goals. Participants were
chosen partially because of the proximity of CIM and CIW to the City. All inmates will be met
by their case manager upon release and welcomed back to their community. Those inmates who
require immediate aid will receive the help they need during this critical time.
Priority Considerations: Collaboration: The CREST prop-ram is a collaboration of nonprofit,
state, county and local agencies proposing to provide comprehensive reentry services to parolees
and their families through evidence-based programming at a day reporting center. CREST

services for successful reintegration back into society. The CREST program design meets the
intent and service requirements of the Second Chance Act funding.
Disproportionate Population of Offenders: It is our belief that several CA communities are
grappling with reentry issues unprecedented in U.S. history. Our nation houses 5% of the
world's population but 25%of the world's prisoners (Walmsley, 2007). California is home to
12% of the U.S. population but 17% of the nation's parolees, CA alone is responsible for nearly
50% of return to custody cases in the U.S. (Glaze & Bonczar, 2009). The City is home to 109/0
of the County's population but houses 23%of the county's parolees, a disparity greater than any
CA county seat of comparable size (Rennie, Eggleston & Riggs, 2008). Our City faces
disproportionate burned atop disproportionate burden when considering parolee reentry issues.
Higher-Risk Population: Because of recent changes to CDCR's parole policy, and our own
research showing that those inmates with a greater history of incarceration have a greater need
for reentry services (Rennie, Eggleston& Riggs, 2008), the SB SCA program will target 50
higher-risk offenders(serious, violent, and/or gang-involved) with 10 (20%)of the 50 offenders
being incarcerated for sex offenses.
Reentry Task Force: The CREST Leadership Team in coordination with the CREST Partners
constitutes the Reentry Task Force. Understanding the importance of involving local leaders,
academia, education providers, community- and faith-based organizations, employers, subject
matter experts and community members, the CREST Leadership Team was diligent in involving
all pertinent stakeholders in the planning process and will continue to involve them in
implementation, evaluation and oversight. While CDCR has committed to funding the DRC,the
CREST Leadership Team and Partners understand that the long-term goal is the sustainable
implementation of the CREST Program. The CREST Leadership Team members and CREST

Partners have begun seeking and received funding from non-CDCR funding streams. While the
DRC Program is funded at $1.2 million per year at implementation, the DRC will have a
program valued at $1.5 million with additional funding and resources coming from the San
Bemardino Employment Training Agency, Community Action Partnership (ARRA), and the
Corrections Standard Authority- Funding for the Second Chance Act will provide a unique
partnership leveraging, state, federal, county and foundation funding resulting in a model reentry
program. A key component of the DRC budget is a Director of Development whose role is to
engage other partners and community members as well as solicit other funding streams.
Members of the CREST Leadership Team partners and supporters are reflected in Attachment
3-Strategic Plan.
City Executive Support: The City Mayor Patrick Morris has a proven track record of
addressing public safety in our community. Morris was elected Mayor in February 2006 and has
continuously championed reentry efforts. In 1994 he established one of California's first drug
treatment court programs. He has advocated statewide, nation-wide and internationally for
treatment altematives for non-violent addicts appearing in the criminal justice system. In 1999
Mavor Morris established one of the nation's first Mental Health Courts to treat the seriously
mentally ill caught up in the criminal justice system. Understanding the need for high quality
parolee rehabilitation programming since taking office, Mayor Morris has been supportive of the
CREST program and instrumental in the development of the Day Reporting Center and will
continue with the SB SCA. His letter of commitment is presented in Attachment 3-Letters of
Support/Commitment.
Replication: As the CREST project is currently being offered to the State of California as a
model reentry program, the Leadership Team has experience adapting measures developed for

the City of San Bernardino to larger audiences. M the leadership team members continue to
work and gain experience in reentry programming, their ability to share their learning with others
increases. Understanding the availability of institutions of higher education, community- and
faith-based service providers, education providers and government entities in all cities with
similar demographics, the CREST model has been designed to be easy replicated throughout
California and throughout the United States.
Barriers to Reintegration: Many local, county, and state laws can act as hurdles to successful
parolee reentry. These can include laws pertaining to employment or residence restrictions, for
example. At each monthly Performance Meeting staff will be asked about any barriers that are
impeding program success. Our collaborative network and our Reentry Task Force will then be
utilized to find ways to transcend those barriers. A recent report from the National HIR-E.
Network, an organization working to connect parolees with employment, highlighted several
barriers to employment for those reentering society after incarceration. Those barriers include
state and Federal laws disqualifying parolees from jobs and licenses based on criminal records,
and private employers' reluctance to hire people with an incarceration history. Barriers such as
these make it more difficult, but not impossible, for those with criminal records to obtain
meaningful employment. The report did state"that significant investments in creating
employment opportunities for people with criminal records can have a positive impact on public
safety (Legal Action Center, 2008, p. 14). Professional assistance can help parolees overcome
barriers such as these and contributes to safer communities for all of us.
3. Capabilities and Competencies: The City of San Bernardino is the lead agency in the SB
SCA. The City Manager's Office will oversee the fiscal aspect of the program, while Kent

coordinator. Paxton came to the Mayor's Office after retiring from the position of Executive
Director of the Children's Network of San Bernardino County. He has vast experience in
working in the development, implementation and monitoring of community collaboratives
through experiences as an educator, as a staff member with the Department of Mental Health and
with Child Protective Services. He sits on many committees in addition to his full-time job,
including the Countywide Gangs and Drugs Task Force, the Children's Assessment Center
Advisory Board, and the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board Youth Council.
Dr. Carolyn Eggleston of the CSCE at CSUSB will oversee serve at the Primary Investigator(PI)
and Service Provision Director for the SB SCA Dr. Eggleston has received, managed and
successfully closed out grants from federal and state agencies and has been committed to the
CREST program since its inception.
4. Budget and Budget Narrative: See Attachment 2
5. Impact/Outcomes, Evaluation, Sustainability, and Data Collection Plan
Evidence-Based Methodology: The goal of the SB SCA program is to increase public safety
for the citizens of the City and reduce recidivism for those parolees returning home there.
Extensive recording of all aspects of service delivery, impacts on local crime rates, and progress
of program participants will become part of the culture of the SB SCA program. Program
development will be continually addressed through quarterly performance meetings where all
staff will learn the importance of the mechanical aspects of data recording and outcome measure
reporting along with the more human obligations to program clients and their success. Our intent
is to create a rehabilitative culture designed to maximally support offender reintegration. The
minutes from the quarterly performance meetings will serve as formative qualitative data sets
and will be used to direct program development. This formative phase is primarily directed
toward internal program staff, to facilitate the creation and maintenance of a successful program.
Data used is often qualitative and includes staff opinions of program attributes. As the program
matures,summative approach targeted more to outside audiences will be used to evaluate
program success. This stage relies more on quantitative data to ensure a proper reflection of
services and programming being delivered.
Dr. Carolyn Eggleston and Dr. Thom Gehring created the CSUSB CSCE in 1992
(website urL http://www.csusb.edu/coe/programs/correctional_ed). Internationally recognized in
the field of correctional education as teachers, administrators, program evaluators, and authors,
Drs. Eggleston and Gehring lend impressive academic credence to City's reentry initiatives. Dr.
Gehring will work to ensure that all data is reported in a timely manner and that the planned
procedures do in fact work to provide a reliable means of assessment.
All performance measures data outlined in the RFP will be recorded on quarterly basis
including: percent decrease in recidivism for the target population (TP), reduction in the City's
crime rate, percent increase in TP obtaining employment, percent increase of TP enrolled in
educational programming, percent reduction in number of violations of supervised release,
percent of TP who fulfilled their child support obligations, percent increase in TP who obtain
housing, percent increase of eligible TP who receive mental health services, percent increase of
eligible TP who receive substance abuse services, percent reduction in drug abuse, and percent
reduction in alcohol abuse. Reporting documents will be created to accurately record
performance measure data- These documents will be reviewed quarterly to ensure that
performance measure goals are being met. The monthly performance meetings will be the
primary vehicle for comprehensive data collection. Team members will be instructed in their
performance measure responsibilities and be provided with assistance. Case managers will be

responsible for recording progress of individual program participants including tracking
participants for a period of three years post-release by creating a database of addresses and
contact information. These meetings will also act as a continuous vehicle for program
development and implementation. Staff will be encouraged to identify areas that are working as
well as areas in need of improvement. The San Bernardino Police Department will participate in
outcome measures by utilizing existing crime reporting tools.
The San Bernardino DRC will begin operation in Juh.of 2010 and will provide a baseline level of
service for local parolees who have already been released from prison. These parolees will act as a
control group. enabling comparisons between the enhanced SCA funded programming and existing DRC
services. Because of funding constraints,we will be able to compare the outcomes of two different levels
of reemn-services. SB SCA participants will receive true reentry services, beginning while still
incarcerated. The results from this study will enable us to examine differences in recidivism rates among
parolees who received limited services after release from prison and those who received a more
comprehensive level of service beginning while incarcerated. Data from all DRC and SB SCA
participants will be included in the stud}.
Goals and Objectives: Our goal for program development is to create a meaningful,
rehabilitative suite of reentry programming tailored to individual needs. Objectives include: a)
utilization of the Reentry Task Force, b)use of validated risk/need assessments, c)ongoing
collaboration with partnering organizations, and d) utilization of support from CDCR and local
law enforcement. Our goal for program implementation is to increase public safety and reduce
recidivism by 50% among program participants. Objectives include: a) ensuring that participants
are treated with respect in an atmosphere designed to maximally promote personal growth, b)
providing models of success, c) targeting criminogenic thinking, d) connecting participants with
employment and educational opportunities, and e) addressing the mental health and substance

abuse needs of participants. Our goal for outcome reporting is to ensure accurate and timely
recording of outcome measures to enable a precise assessment of program effectiveness.
Objectives include: a) attendance at monthly performance meetings, b) ongoing assistance to and
oversight of program staff, and c) stressing the importance of evidence-based procedures.
6. Collaboration: The only existing parolee reentry program currently in operation in San
Bernardino is the Time For Change Foundation-a gender responsive program serving
approximately 20 women and children returning to San Bernardino and has partnered with the
CREST Program. The SB SCA provides an expansion of the DRC leading to CREST. The
CREST model is a collaborative model partnering various stakeholders through a strong
management structure with accountability. Through the Foundation for CSUSB (the lead service
provision agency)the CSCE, the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and other
education providers will provide adult vocational education. CREST will provide remediation
and training in high-growth., in-demand industries of San Bernardino, ensuring employment
placement into living wage occupations. Business outreach will establish paid internships for
parolees, thus connecting potential employers with a trained labor pool. CSU San Bernardino
Foundation will contract with San Bernardino nonprofits to provide services such as: behavioral
health and substance abuse treatment, housing, healthcare, family reunification, anger
management, mentoring, gang diversion/intervention, and other critical services. Services
offered by CREST meet or exceed all of the post-custody recommendations from CDCR's
Expert Panel report.

City of San Bernardino-Parolee Reentry Strategic Plan CREST
The goal of the CREST program is to improve the quality of life for residents of San Bemardino by
implementing a service package that will increase public safety by providing parolees with the necessary
programs for successful reintegration. There are four objectives to CREST:
• To implement research based program capabilities designed to enable parolee reintegration.
• To refine program capabilities through relevant data collection, treatment, and reporting, and to
ensure effective program delivery.
• To enhance and improve community networking between governmental agencies and community
organizations, thereby consolidating opportunities for program success.
• To improve the public safety for the citizens of San Bemardino by increasing parolee supervision
and reducing recidivism.
RATIONALE: Based on the significant need of the City of San Bemardino, the Community Reentry
Education/Employment and Services Training Project (CREST) will provide the mechanism to rehabilitate
ex-offenders, improve public safety, decrease reliance on govemment assistance, and increase the
economic vitality of the community. CREST is a collaborative effort made up of government, law
enforcement, education, private, non-governmental, faith- and community-based entities similar to the
encouraging work being done in San Diego and Santa Barbara. The CREST Service Center will be located
in or near San Bemardino City and will provide each parolee and his/her family with a one-stop-shop for
education, training, and comprehensive, wrap-around services. When running at full capacity, these
services will be executed at a cost of less than half the cost of incarceration.
EDUCATION and TRAINING: Through California State University-San Bemardino Foundation (the lead
agency) and Center for the Study of Correctional Education, the San Bemardino County Superintendent of
Schools and other education providers will provide adult vocational education. CREST will provide
remediation and training in high-growth, in-demand industries of San Bemardino, ensuring employment
placement into living wage occupations. Business outreach will establish paid internships for parolees, thus
connecting potential employers with a trained labor pool.
COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES: CSU San Bemardino Foundation will contract with San Bemardino
nonprofits to provide services such as: behavioral health and substance abuse treatment, housing
facilitation, healthcare, family reunification, anger management, mentoring, gang diversion intervention, and
other critical services. Services offered by CREST meet or exceed all of the post-custody recommendations
from CDCR's Expert Panel report.
FUTURE COORDINATION WITH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY PROBATION AND SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT: The CREST Program provides a key component to the continuum of service/care for
parolees in San Bemardino County. Inmates in AB 900 Secured Reentry Facilities can be released to
attend the City of San Bemardino Day Reporting Center or CREST. Participants who are successful in the
Day Reporting Center can transition to CREST and vice versa.

Final Project Summary Report
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
Intergovernmental Partnership Grant Program
City of San Bernardino
Agreement Number: C06436
Background Information
The City of San Bernardino applied for a Planning Grant under the CDCR
Intergovernmental Partnership Grant Program in December of 2006. The City was
interested in developing long term partnerships with CDCR and other key stakeholders in
County government and the community to reduce crime, and address the issue of parolee
reentry.
The City of San Bernardino had been ranked the 18i' most dangerous City in the United
States in 2005, with over 14,000 violent crimes, and 1250 Part I crimes reported.
Compounding this problem was the number of parolees in the City, approximately 2000 at
any given time. According to research conducted by California State University San
Bernardino as part of the grant (see addendum summarizing the CSUSB research), the
City has 10% of the County's population and 23% of the County's parolee population.
The Mayor's Office, recognizing the relationship between successful parolee reentry,
reducing recidivism, and improved public safety, has provided the leadership for the City's
planning for parolee reentry services.
Planning Process
During the early stages of the planning process, through the spring and summer of 2007,
the Mayor's Office began to dialogue on parolee reentry with a number of key
stakeholders including the San Bernardino Police Department, the local Parole Office,.
Probation, Cal-State San Bernardino, and some of the non-profit organizations interested
in the issue including Goodwill Southern California. The Mayor's Office taped an hour long
program for local cable on parolee reentry to educate the community on the issue. Also,
there were a number of discussions with the City Council on the issue of parolee housing.
Concerns regarding the over-concentration of parolees in the City led to a City Council
approved moratorium on any new parolee housing in October of 2007.
On November 26, 2007, the Mayor's Office and City Council hosted a public hearing on
the issue of parolee reentry. A distinguished panel of experts was convened to provide an
overview of Corrections. Parole, and parolee reentry. The following was the agenda for the
workshop:
• Call to orderNVelcome and Introductions: Mayor Morris
CREST
City of San Bernardino-Parolee Reentry Strategic Plan_ CREST
• Overview of California's Correctional System: Joan Petersilia, Director of the UCI
Center on Evidence-Based Corrections
• Local Perspectives on California's Correctional System & Parole Reform: Judge
Tara Reilly and Jim Bueerman, Redlands Police Chief
• Overview of San Bernardino City Parolee Data: Michael Billdt, Police Chief
• Overview of California's Parole Reform Efforts: Tom Hoffman, CDCR Director of
Parole and Joan Petersilia
• Overview of San Bernardino County Parolee Reentry Efforts: Rod Hoops, Assistant
Sheriff
• Key Elements of Parolee Reentry Strategies: Joan Petersilia
• Moderated Discussion of Questions from Mayor and Council and Next Steps:
Moderated by Judge Reilly
The November Public Hearing lasted 4 hours, the outcome of which led to the creation of
the Mayor's Parolee Reentry Ad Hoc Committee. Appointees to the Committee include:
• Judge Tara Reilly, Committee Convener
• Mayor Patrick J. Morris
• Councilmember Wendy McCammack
• Councilmember Tobin Brinker
• Councilmember Rikki Van Johnson
• Kent Paxton, Director-Mayor's Office of Community Safety and Violence
Prevention-Committee Staff
CThe goals of the Committee include: 1) assessing the impact of parolee reentry on the City
of San Bernardino, 2) assessing the needs of reentering parolees, and 3) forming
partnerships to develop programs for reentering parolees.
The Ad Hoc Committee had four meetings in the first six months of 2008. The major
discussion/agenda items at those meetings have included.
• The results of the research done by California State University San Bernardino on
parolee reentry issues related to the City of San Bernardino
• The City's partnership with the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Office on the
development of the AB 900 Secured Reentry Facilities
• The City's Partnership with County Probation on the development of a Day
Reporting Center, and
• The City's partnership with the non-profit sector on the development of CREST,
Community Reentry Education/Employment Services & Training Project
The research conducted by CSUSB was focused in three major areas: 1) how the City of
San Bernardino's parolee population and related factors compare to other "County Seats"
of similar size, 2) an overview of best practices/programs that have proven effective in
reducing the recidivism rate of reentering parolees, and 3) a needs assessment of
reentering parolees. Please see attached report from CSUSB regarding methodology and
findings.
CREST
Helping mole COW HOW
City of San Bernardino-Parolee Reentry Strategic Plan CREST
The Mayor's Office has been major partner in the planning process for the AB 900 Secure
Reentry Facilities planning process with the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors,
and the Sheriffs Department. The Mayor's Office has provided input to the County's AB
900 plan, including the in-custody and out of custody programming for reentering parolees.
The County is planning for an extra 1300 local jail beds as part of AB 900, and, up to three
500 bed reentry facilities, including one at the Glen Helen Rehabilitation Center which is
adjacent to the City of San Bernardino.
The Mayor's Office has been very involved in the planning process with County Probation
for the creation of a Day Reporting Center in the City of San Bernardino. Probation has
been negotiating an interagency agreement with CDCR for the funding for the Center,
which would serve as an alternative to re-incarceration due to Parole violations. The
Mayor's Office wrote a letter to the Secretary of CDCR in support of the program. The
DRC will serve up to 300 parolees a year from the City of San Bernardino providing
substance abuse and mental health counseling, workforce development, and other key
services for successful reentry. The negotiations between Probation and CDCR are
continuing.
Finally, the Mayor's Office has been very involved in the planning process for the
Community Reentry Education/Employment Services & Training Project, or CREST.
CREST is a collaboration which includes the CSUSB Foundation, the San Bernardino
County Superintendent of Schools, San Bernardino Community College District, San
Bernardino City Schools, Goodwi I I Southern California, and over 25 faith-based and
community-based organizations.
CREST proposes to serve up to 1000 parolees and their families per year. A wide variety
of services would be provided including but not limited to the following:
• Case Management
• Vocational training
• Individual, group, and family counseling
• Health and mental health care
CREST would utilize an evidence based, cost effective model.
I In conclusion, the Intergovernmental Partnership Grant has been instrumental in providing
the support needed for the City of San Bernardino to pull together key research and
partnerships to create new programs for reentering parolees which will reduce recidivism
and enhance public safety.
The following are the lessons learned and recommendations from the planning process.
Lessons Learned
CREST
�o��, s „�H11, 7
City of an Bernardino-Parolee Reentry Strategic Plan CREST
Lesson #1: Parolee reentry is a politically charged issue. Education of the community and
elected officials regarding the parolee population, their needs in order to successfully
reintegrate; and, how successful programming reduces recidivism and promotes public
safety is essential.
Lesson #2: Parolee reentry is just not a State issue, but involves the counties, the cities,
and the community. Ongoing communication, coordination, and collaboration among those
entities are essential for success. The leadership must be in place to ensure that the
dialogue and action steps toward programming occur.
Lesson #3: Services for parolees must be planned and delivered within the context of
their families and communities. Targeted services must include a family reunification
component, as well as the basic services for successful reentry including housing, mental
health and substance abuse counseling, and job training and placement.
Lesson #4: A continuum approach to services must be defined to meet parolee reentry
needs as outlined above. Programming must be comprehensive, and/or providers need to
be linked in an effective way to maximize resource and referral activity to meet the variety
of parolee needs.
Lesson #5: Reentry programming should be research based, have an evaluation
framework to measure outcomes, and, cost effective.
Recommendations
1. The State budget/CDCR allocation for community based reentry programs
should be increased commiserate to the State's plan to address the prison
overcrowding issue and return parolees to the community.
2. The State should create an allocation formula for reentry programming for
Counties that are most impacted by parolee reentry. Local County plans such
as those outlined in SB 618 (Speier: 2005) should be created in conjunction
with AB 900 plans at the County level, which include input from cities and
local communities.
3. The allocation formula should also include funding for program evaluation.
4. The Day Reporting Center and CREST project should be funded to provide a
continuum of reentry services in the City and County of San Bernardino.

City of San Bernardino: Parolee Statistics and Needs Assessment
The Mayor's Parolee Reentry Ad-Hoe Committee requested information regarding San
Bernardino's parolee population from the Center for the Study of Correctional Education. The
following is a distillation of the results.
The U.S. houses just 5%of the world population but 23%of the world's prisoners. California
houses 12%of the U.S. population but 18% of the U.S. parolees. Additionally, the City of San
Bernardino is home to 10%of the County population but houses 23% of the County's parolees—
a disparity greater than any California county seat of comparable size. This means the City of
San Bernardino bears disproportionate burden on top of disproportionate burden. (For
comparison, China incarcerates its citizens at a rate just 18%of that in the U.S.)
Our study also revealed the connection between economic impoverishment and crime. Nearly
50% of crime in our study of California County seats could be predicted by economic indicators.
• San Bernardino is home to over 2,200 parolees—over 1%of the City's population.
• Nearly 30%of the City's population subsists below poverty level ($21,200/family of four)
• The median household income is just over$30,000—CA average is $47.493
In cooperation with the local parole office, a
needs assessment survey was given over a four
week period in June, 2008. The following results
are aggregated from 179 completed, useable
surveys. San Bernardino Parolees:
• are 88%male
•
39%Latina, 36%African American, and 19%
Caucasian
• average nearly 4 state prison sentences, 6
County jail sentences, and 3 parole violations

City of San Bernardino-Parolee Reentry Strategic Plan CREST
The goal of the CREST program is to improve the quality of life for residents of San Bernardino by
implementing a service package that will increase public safety by providing parolees with the
necessary programs for successful reintegration.
Objective 1: To implement research based program capabilities designed to enable parolee
reintegration.
• Strategy: Each program participant will develop, with assistance, a Member Accountability
Plan (MAP) to address targeted needs.
• Every program parolee with needs will be gainfully employed or enrolled in schools
such as a trade school, community college, or adult school to become more
employment ready upon program completion.
• No program participants will be homeless.
• Program parolees will conduct a minimum of 250 hours of community service, or on
the job training and/or transitional employment.
• Completion rate for program parolees will be a minimum of 50 percent.
Objective 2: To refine program capabilities through relevant data collection, treatment, and
reporting, and to ensure effective program delivery.
• Strategy: Produce annual reports on the effectiveness of specific program components.
Program research will consist of individual partner evaluation and overall program
effectiveness.
o individual partners will be responsible for meeting program specific performance
measures which will be monitored and reported on by an outside professional
management organization.
Objective 3: To enhance and improve community networking between governmental agencies
and community organizations, thereby consolidating opportunities for program success.
• Strategy: Liaise with community organizations that could improve service delivery.
o Working relationships with at least five local agencies, that will provide an addition
to or an enhancement of the core services identified in Section V, will be
developed and utilized on an ongoing basis.
Objective 4: To improve the public safety for the citizens of San Bernardino.
• Strategy: Reduce parolee reincarceration by providing appropriate services.
o Technical violations will be reduced by a minimum of 20 percent for program
parolees.
o Return to custody reduced by a minimum of 35 percent for program parolees over a
12-month period.

Project
Research and Literature Citations (CREST)
The CREST project represents one community's response to the California's pressing parolee reentry
issues. It is composed of a coalition of local business, nonprofits, governmental, educational. and faith-
based organizations who have come together to address a common need: upholding the public safety by
providing parolees with the services necessary to successfully reintegrate into society. CREST has become
a vital part of the County's reentry plan and will assist in the implementation of AS 900 by providing critically
needed reentry services. The CREST program will be housed under one roof, offering comprehensive
services from one central location. This evidence-based program, based upon the literature on recidivism
and parolee reentry, has neatly identified four key areas parolees need help facing:
1. Unemployment
2. Substance abuse
3. Illiteracy (education)
4. Housing
In addition, one out of three parolees recidivates in less than 6 months—this is the critical intervention
window where CREST services will be most effective. Implementation of the CREST service package will
help realize Goal 6 of the Strategic Plan: Rehabilitation and Reentry, while incorporating the post-custody
suggestions contained in the CDCR's Rehabilitation Strike Team Report and the Expert Panel Report,
providing services based on the available research. These include:
1. Assurance of community services to assist parolees upon release
2. Utilization of a risk assessment tool upon release
3. Development of a release to employment plan
4. AcademicJVocational/Financial Education
5. Substance Abuse Treatment
6. Drug-free housing
7. Anger/Aggression Management
8. Family Relationships
9. Criminogenic thinking
10. Positive reinforcement
11. Strong CSU-based research/evaluation component
CREST utilizes aspects of the following successful prisoner reentry programs: Residential Multi-Service
Center, Weed and Seed, VISTA AmeriCorps, Community Oriented Policing Services, and the current best
practices of San Diego, Santa Barbara and East Palo Alto.
From a cost/benefit perspective, according to the Strike Team Report, CDCR currently spends 543,300.00
(p. 10) per inmate per year resulting in an average daily cost of incarceration of$118.60, of which 52.053
($5.62 per day) of that amount is spent on services. The average daily cost per parolee for the
comprehensive CREST service package is around 570.00 per day (including anticipated food and housing
needs). This results in a $50.00 savings for each day an individual parolee remains out of prison It is
difficult to accurately calculate secondary positive benefits related to a reduction in recidivism.
Keeping with CDCR's renewed emphasis on rehabilitation and the willingness of the City and County of San
Bernardino to participate in the AS 900, the community based CREST program is poised to begin
implementation of a comprehensive package of evidence based services designed to increase the public
safety for all of San Bernardino's citizens. ^

RE: City of San Bernardino Second Chance Grant Application
Dear Mr. Holder,
This letter is to support the City of San Bernardino's application for Second Chance Act funding
for our community's reentry collaborative, known as the Community Reentry
Education/Employment Service and Training(CREST)program. The CREST program
developed in San Bernardino is a collaboration of nonprofit, state,county and local agencies
proposing to provide comprehensive reentry services to parolees and their families through
evidence-based programming at a day reporting center.
The City of San Bernardino has been greatly impacted by parolees returning to our community.
E Our city of over 200,000 residents has approximately 2,000 parolees at any given time. A 2008
® study done by California State University, San Bernardino, found that our city has 10% of the
County of San Bernardino's population, and 23% of its parolee population.
The City of San Bernardino is anticipating the return of another 300 to 400 parolees this year,
given the State of California's budget crisis and the subsequent changes in prison terms and
parole supervision.The problem may be compounded further by the Federal Court's findings
regarding the overcrowding in California's state prisons,and the need to reduce the overcrowded
conditions. That matter is now before the United States Supreme Court.
Last fall I was invited to meet with Vice President Biden, along with a small number of other
Mayors whose cities have been disproportionately impacted by reentering parolees. The Vice
President encouraged us to apply for the Second Chance Act funds to provide research-based
programs to our returning parolee population that would reduce recidivism and increase public
safety. The CREST program will help achieve this goal in San Bernardino
I encourage your support for our Second Chance Act grant application.
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Morris
Mayor
City of San Bernardino

Mr. Charles McNeely
j City Manager, City of San Bernardino
300 N. D Street
San Bernardino, CA 92401
Dear Mr. McNeely,
I enthusiastically support the effort of the City of San Bernardino in their application to the U.S.
.. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance for the Second
Chance Act Adult Offender Reentry Demonstration Projects,FY 2010 Competitive Grant
.opportunity.
The City of San Bernardino is unique in the number of parolees, the paradigm shift that has
occurred and the dedication of a diverse group of people and organizations committed to
ensuring success of individuals returning to the community after incarceration. San Bernardino
County is home to the nation's third highest number of parolees and the City of San Bernardino
has a disproportionate number of those parolees residing within its limits.
In 2004, a group came together to create the Community Reentry Education/Employment
Services and Training Program (CREST). The group consists of government organizations,
education providers and nonprofit experts in the field of reentry. Even with the ongoing fiscal
emergency in California, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has
committed to the City of San Bernardino's reentry efforts by providing $1.2 million for the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, San Bernardino Parolee Day Reporting
Center.
Funding for the Second Chance Act will supplement and enrich the basic services provided by
the San Bernardino City Day Reporting Center.
I am committed not only to the rehabilitation, training and education of our parolees,but the
institution of prevention mechanisms to prevent reoccurring incarceration i.e., counseling,
mentoring programs and immediate job training and placement assistance to aid these individuals
i
in transitioning back into the community as productive citizens. I have supported and partnered
with a number of community based organizations through town hall meetings,job and education
summits, and have provided representation on a number of community based organizations'
Board of Directors. I have also passed and will continue to propose and ultimately pass
legislation to provide funding resources for these needed services.
I look forward to seeing the enrichment of the services and administration of this innovative
project come to fruition for the community of San Bernardino.
Sincerely,
Congressman Joe Baca
43`d Congressional District
