Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act (SB 678)

The Legislature designed the California Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act of 2009, or SB 678 program, with two purposes: alleviating state prison overcrowding and saving state General Fund monies. These purposes are to be accomplished without compromising public safety by reducing the number of individuals on felony supervision (felony probation, mandatory supervision, or post release community supervision) who are sent to state prison. The program is also designed to encourage county probation departments to use evidence-based supervision practices to accomplish these goals.
