ANNOTATION: An audit of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation revealed two areas with significant costs to the state’s budget--expenditures related to individuals sentenced under the three strikes law and inmates receiving specialized health care. This report is comprised of three chapters, each with associated recommendations: longer sentences due to three strikes represent a significant cost; a small portion of the inmate population accounts for most contracted specialty health care costs; and vacant positions, medical guarding, and leave accruals influence overtime costs.
