BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Assembly Bill 128, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office has been participating in the multi-year California County Resentencing Pilot Program (CCRPP). The CCRPP is a collaborative approach to further prosecutor initiated resentencing efforts for those incarcerated in California's state prisons. The CCRPP requirements are set forth in Penal Code section 1170.01, which was added by Assembly Bill 145. Funding appropriated through the State of California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) ensures that district attorneys, public defenders, and community-based organizations can work together to safely release people serving unjust and excessive prison sentences, and to assist them with reentering the community. Out of the total funding received by the DA's Office under the CCRPP, $250,000 were designated by the BSCC to be contracted out for a local community-based organization (CBO) to help individuals re-enter the community with support services.
