Folsom State Prison

Folsom State Prison ‐ Opened in 1880 as one of the nation’s first maximum security prisons. Folsom is the second‐oldest prison in the State of California (after San Quentin) and was the first in the country to have hydroelectric power generation. The location was selected due to its proximity to an unlimited amount of native granite stone for building the prison, as well as next to the American River offering ample water supply and a natural boundary.

Did You Know?Rehabilitation: CDCR evaluates offenders for theircriminogenic risks and needs to ensure that the rightindividuals are placed in the right programs at the righttime to provide programming that best meets theirneeds. The majority of prisons maintain fullyaccredited schools that offer academic classes,vocational training, courses in English as a SecondLanguage, and libraries. The Community and ReentryServices Unit provides evidence‐based rehabilitativeprogramming for individuals reentering theircommunities after a period of incarceration.

Parole: A statewide network of community basedprograms for offenders, including substance abusetreatment and education, employment training, jobplacement, literacy programs, sober living, transitionalhousing, and outpatient treatment. Counseling, angermanagement, employment preparation, literacytraining, money management, domestic violence,cognitive life skills training, parenting and family re‐integration, education/GED studies, job‐readiness andjob search programs.

Did You Know?Victim Services: CDCR is responsible for providinginformation, notification, restitution, outreach, training,referral and support services to crime victims and theirnext of kin whose offenders are committed to CDCRadult and juvenile institutions. They assist victims withrequests for special conditions of parole, “No contact”with a parolee, Out of County Placements, andrestrictions of a 35 mile radius against a parolee. Theyrespond to victim’s phone calls, attend parole hearingswith victims and locate victims that are due restitutionthat has been collected from inmates. Assistance isprovided to an average of 2,500 victims each month. Servicesinclude assistance with requests to receive automaticnotification of an inmate’s release via VINE, assistance withrequests for special conditions of parole and automaticnotifications about parolees, among many other issues.

RestitutionCDCR collects on average over $28 million in restitution for victims each fiscal year. Total victim restitution and fines collected by CDCR from 1992 through 2012 is $247,710,619. Direct orders are an offender’s debt to the victim, and fines are an offender’s debt to society. Every inmate has a fine assessed. If a victim suffers an economic loss, a direct order of restitution is assessed by the judge.

Historical IT View – Early 2000’s• Network Connectivity

o There was no network connectivity to the prisons o Headquarters and Parole offices had network connectivity

• Applications ‐ Lack of Enterprise applicationso Distributed applications o Stand alone applications /servers at each site

• Most business functions depended upon paper‐based processes

• Limited access to Internet and email 

• The focus of security was based on network access and file permissions

• Beyond basic anti‐virus, access control lists, and policies, information security was a reactive approach

• Information security was an afterthought when implementing new systems and applications

Current IT Environment• 45,000+ endpoint devices (workstations, printers, servers, routers, switches)

• 2,000+ Remote access users (Parole Agents, Support Staff, and Executive Staff)

• 190 Circuits 

• 138 IT systems/applications

• Enterprise applications containing confidential and sensitive data

• 38,000+ email users 

• Internet access• Data sharing with external organizations (DOJ, SCO, Department of State 

Hospitals, counties, local law enforcement, etc.)

• Data Warehouses (data classification) 

• Cloud technologies

• Enterprise Collaboration Tool ‐ SharePoint

Realignment• In 2011, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed Assembly Bills (AB) 109 and AB 117, historic 

legislation to enable California to close the revolving door of low‐level inmates cycling in and out of state prisons. This legislation is the cornerstone to California’s solution in reducing the state’s 34 prisons to 137.5 percent of original design capacity, per the U.S. Supreme Court order. 

• Prior to Realignment, more than 60,000 felon parole violators returned to state prison annually , with an average length of stay of 90 days. 

• Prior to Realignment, there were 55,000 to 65,000 new admissions from county courts to state prison.  Realignment has reduced the annual admissions to less than 35,000 a year.

• As of October 1, 2011, all parole revocations are served in county jail instead of state prison.

Inmate and Parolee PopulationsThe total inmate population dropped from 162,000 in 2006 to 123,727 during 2012.  

The parolee population dropped  almost 60 percent from December 2011 to December 2012

IT Governance Process• Established an Information Technology Governance Council (ITGC) 

Ensures the Department makes sound IT investment decisions and allocates the appropriate amount of resources to support the technology. Each project is evaluated by rating its impact to CDCR’s strategic and blueprint goals and calculating its  financial value to the organization to:o Effectively manage CDCR’s IT expenditures by determining how the 

dollars should be invested in IT projects, infrastructure and staffingo Provide executive management and oversight for the department’s IT 

portfolioo Ensure IT directions and investments align with business needso Approve IT investment strategies, plans and 

prioritieso Review and recommend approval of IT policies 

Page 25: Major IT Accomplishments - Techwire Presentation [Read-Only]€¦ · • Executive Team • Strategic Direction ... • $815 Million IT Projects Implemented and In Progress • 29,404

24

IT Governance Process (Cont.)• CDCR/EIS uses the CDCR Business Value and Prioritization and Selection 

toolkitso The CDCR Business Value provides a consistent method of defining the 

business value of a proposed project: Value includes contributions from cost, strategic, and blue print alignment Value includes both implementation (one time) costs and annual savings

o The Prioritization and Selection toolkit enables CDCR to consistently measure and prioritize IT projects

o This process allows the Department to evaluate and set the priorities and then allocate the necessary resources to support IT investment decisions

o The Prioritization and Selection criteria consists of three levels: Business Drivers (court orders, statutes, regulations, 

strategic plans, blueprints, etc.) Fiscal and Risk Impacts Other Considerations (technology, skill, business 

process alignment)
