The audit indicates that public opposition is a significant barrier in California, making it challenging to reintroduce sexually violent predators into communities despite their treatment.
California’s current conditional release program reportedly fails to meet safety standards and expectations, primarily due to management issues and rising costs associated with the program.
The audit highlights that it can take an extensive amount of time, sometimes months or even years, to find suitable community housing for sexually violent predators after treatment.
The Department of State Hospital has acknowledged the concerns raised in the audit and plans to implement the recommended changes to improve the program's effectiveness.
