PREFACE
California Prisoners and Parolees, 2008, is a presentation of statistical data about the adult
felons, civil narcotic addicts and other populations under the jurisdiction of the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). Statistical data on felons in CDCR have
been published since 1950 when the first issue of California Prisoners, covering the years 1945
through 1949, was released. Statistical data on civil narcotic addicts have been published since
1967 when the first issue of Summary Statistics, Civil Commitment Program for Narcotic Addicts,
covering the years 1961 through 1966, was published. Beginning in 1981, the two were combined
into one publication. In 2008, CDCR’s publication Historical Trends was incorporated into this
publication. Historical Trends described changes to CDCR’s population over a 20 year time
period.

This publication is organized into six sections containing information about different types of
populations under CDCR jurisdiction. The Reference Guide provides a list of prisons by name
and location; maps identifying counties, areas of commitment, and parole regions; and a glossary
of terms and acronyms used throughout the publication.

The Chief Deputy Secretary of Adult Operations administered 33 prisons, four detention centers,
four parole regions, and 42 camps during 2008. The types of commitments received by CDCR are
felons, civil narcotic addicts, County Diagnostic Cases (under Penal Code Section 1203.03), some
Juvenile Justice commitments, safekeepers, federal prisoners, and prisoners from other states.
This publication contains only a portion of the data available in report format. If you have a

These rates should not be considered to be CDCR's recidivism rates. For recidivism rates see Table 49 and Table49A.
NOTE: PV-RTC refers to parolees returned to prison for violating a parole condition, parolees returned pending a parole revocation hearing, and parolees returned to
alternative placement in a substance abuse program without having their parole revoked. PV-RTC does not include revoked parolees housed in non-state facilities or
those returned with another prison commitment (PV-WNT). Previously published numbers may vary due to modifications to the database.
* The Average Daily Felon Parolee and Parolee-at-Large (PAL) Population includes the average daily population of felon parolees supervised in California plus the
average daily felon PAL population.

TABLE 51A
DEFINITIONS FOR RECIDIVISM RATES FOR
FELONS PAROLED TO CALIFORNIA SUPERVISION
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION
FIRST RELEASE TO PAROLE IN 2006

Recidivist: A felon who returns to prison for any reason during a specified follow-up
period.
Recidivism cohort: The number of felons first released to parole during a given year.
Return to prison: Includes felons who are returned to Substance-Abuse TreatmentControl Units in correctional facilities; returned pending a revocation hearing by the
Board of Prison Terms on charges of violating the conditions of parole; returned to
custody for parole violations to serve revocation time; or returned to prison by a court for
a new felony conviction.
First release to parole: The first release to parole for felons with new admissions and
parole violators returned with a new term (PV-WNT) during a calendar year.
Recidivism rate: The ratio of the number of recidivists in the cohort to the number of
felons at risk of recidivating in the cohort during the specified time period, times one
hundred.
How California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) calculates
recidivism: The recidivism rate starts with a cohort of felon offenders who are released
to parole in a given year. They are tracked for a period of three years to determine if they
return to prison. The release cohort includes only offenders, who are paroled for the first
time from prison on a new admission to prison or paroled for the first time following
return to prison with a new court commitment. The recidivism rate does not include
parole violators who are re-released.
