Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15 § 3270

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 3270 - General Policy

The primary objectives of the correctional institutions are to protect the public by safely keeping persons committed to the custody of the Secretary of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and to afford such persons with every reasonable opportunity and encouragement to participate in rehabilitative activities. Consistent effort will be made to insure the security of the institution and the effectiveness of the treatment programs within the framework of security and safety. Each employee must be trained to understand how physical facilities, degree of custody classification, personnel, and operative procedures affect the maintenance of incarcerated person custody and security. The requirement of custodial security and of staff, incarcerated person and public safety must take precedence over all other considerations in the operation of all the programs and activities of the institutions of the department.
