There seems to be a link between the siting of reentry facilities and local jail expansion funding. Has CDCR eliminated all counties that don build reentry facilities on County property?
AB 900 has established a nexus between siting a reentry facility and receiving preference for local jail construction lease revenue bonds. CDCR has not eliminated any city our county that is interested in partnering with the State on this important endeavor. The State will be exploring the acquisition of both improved and unimproved land held by cities, counties, and under private ownership in addition to state-owned lands and buildings. Its analysis will include among other considerations the feasibility and costs associated with the purchase, renovation/construction and operation of each facility in order to provide the best value to the state, local communities and all other interested stakeholders.
