Local Concerns on AB 109 ~By Oliver Bernasconi
Arnold, CA...I am a Calaveras County resident, property owner and taxpayer concerned with how the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors is handling the implementation of AB109, the early release and return to the county of certain prison inmates...
In 2011 the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors gave the County Probation department the authority to develop a plan to handle the soon to be released state prison inmates returning to our county.
A committee was formed, consisting of the Sheriff, DA, Angels Camp Chief of Police, a Superior Court Judge, the head of the Probation department, Chief Public Defender and the Behavioral Health Services Director.
Noticeably missing are any members of the public. Where is the representation for victims of both crimes against the person and/or property? An issue of this magnitude has the potential to affect numerous citizens. The solution does not solely belong to this committee or the creation of a day reporting center.
The release of these inmates will present an added cost to the D.A.’s office, the Sheriff’s Dept., Angels Camp PD and the Probation Dept. So why is the funding going only to the Probation Dept?
The deeper concern is the absence of victim representation on this panel and I believe each and every citizen of Calaveras County deserves an answer to this question.
Sincerely,
Oliver Bernasconi
Arnold
