At the end of 1975, the California felon parole population numbe~ed 14,556, representing an increase of 3,007 or 26.0 percent from the 1974 year end total. The ratio of parole population to State population increased from 55.2 per 100,000 at the end of 1974 to 68.9 per 100,000 at the end of 1975. A total of 11,639 men and women felons were received on parole during 1975, while 8,632 persons exited that status.

These offense groups were controlled substances and marijuana, 24.0 percent; forgery and checks, 19.2 percent; homicide, 18.0 percent; and theft except auto, 10.9 percent.

Approximately two-thirds of the total parole population at the end of 1975 was experiencing a first parole, 67.1 percent of the men and 66.9 percent of the women.

Over two-thirds of the male felon parole population had been under supervision for less than one year. Of the 562 women on parole at the end of 1975,44.7 percent had been under supervision for less than one year.

PAROLE SUSPENSION

Of the male felons released to first parole during 1975, 7.1 percent had been suspended by the end of that year. This was the lowest percentage suspended before the end of the year of release in the history of the series. The respective figure for women released to parole during 1975 was 13.3 percent.

This was the highest number released from prison during any calendar year in the history of California, and the percentage returned was the lowest since 1958 when the statistical series was started. Male felons paroled numbered 10,578 during 1975, of whom 2.5 percent had been returned to prison by December 31, 1975.

Of the 329 women felons released during 1975,4.3 percent had been returned to a California prison by December 31,1975. This was also the lowest percentage returned by the end of the year of release since 1958.

The institution population of the California Department of Corrections increased 10.0 percent during H)74, resulting in a total of 24,741 persons at the close of the year. This population then decreased 19.0 percent to 20,028 persons at the end of 1975. The population count as of December 31,1975 represented the second lowest year-end count since 1959. The ratio of institution population to State population was 118.2 per 100,000 on December 31, 1974 and decreased to 94.9 per 100,000 by the close of 1975. This ratio of institution population to State population was the lowest ratio experienced at the end of a calendar year in the past 25 years.

Considering December 31 institution popplation counts only, the population more than doubled from 11,598 to 28,4152 persons bel ween 1950 and 1968. The institution popUlation decreased from 1968 through 1972, when the population count was 19,773. Mter increasing again in 1973-74, the population decreased to 20,028 in 1975.

The institution population includes persons who are serving i7.1stitution time while in reception centers, in camps, in furlough programs, in community correctional centers, as well as in the prisons or rehabilitation center.

The majority of persons in the institution population are felons sentenced in superior court. At the end of 1975, felons numbered 16,598 men and 698 women among a total institution population of 20,028.

Civil narcotic addicts, the second largest group of persons in the institution, totaled 1,863 men and 275 women on December 31, 1975. Civil narcotic addicts are committed to the Director of Corrections. (Welfare and Institutions Code Section 3000 et seq.) for placement in the California Rehabilitation Center program. Statistical information pertaining to these persons is presented in the California Department of Corrections publication, Summary Statistics, Civil Commitment Program for Narcotic Addicts.

Based on county population, the rate per 100,000 population was highest for men committed from San Francisco County, 44.6. Correspondingly, women received from the ten Sacramento Valley Counties in 1975, experienced the highest commitment rate, 2.3 per 100,000.

The median age at admission for male felons newly received from the court during 1975 was 26.5 years, only slightly less than the 1974 median, which was 26.6 years. The median age of men at admission has not varied by more than six-tenths in the years 1969 through 1975. Just over two-fifths of the men admitted in 1975 were under age 25.

Women felons newly received in 1975 by the California Department of Corrections were a median 27.7 years of age. This represented a decrease from the 1974 median age of 28.5 years. Approximately onethird (35.2 percent) of the women admitted in 1975 were under age 25.

The ethnic distribution of male felons newly received from court in 1975 was different from that of 1974. In 1975 the percentage of white men received decreased while the corresponding percentages for white men of Mexican descent and black men increased. Although, in number, more white men were received during 1975 than 1974, they comprised a smaller percentage of the total received in 1975 (46.7 percent) than in 1974 (48.4 percent). Men of white, Mexican descent received in 1975 comprised 19.4 percent of the total received in that year, representing an increase of 0.9 percentage points over the 1974 figure. The black group increased from 31.0 percent of total men received in 1974 to 32.2 percent of men received in 1975, a gain of 1.2 percentage points. The ethnic composition of the women felons received during 1974 and 1975 followed the same general pattern as that of the men. The ethnic distribution of women received in 1974 was 56.1 percent white; 8.2 percent white, Mexican descent; and 33.1 percent black. In 1975, these percentages were 52.4 percent white; 9.0 percent white, Mexican descent; and 36.2 percent black.

The majority of the men newly received from court in 1975 had served prior criminal commitments. Among the 5,433 men received,

FELONS NEWLY RECEIVED FROM COURT 1(3

20.7 percent had experienced at least one prior prison cornmitment, while 60.2 percent had servedjgil and/or juvenile commitments only. Slightly under one-fifth (19.1 percent) of the men had not served a prior criminal commitment.

Prior criminal commitment experience of women felons newly received from court differs from that of men. Of the 332 women re~ ceived during 1975, 41.6 percent had not served a prior criminal commitment, over half of the women (50.6 percent) had experienced only prior jailor juvenile commitments, while 7.8 percent had served a prior prison sentence.

The Department offers programs in vocational and academic education to selected participants. To facilitate placement of persons in the educational program, grade placement tests are administered in the reception centers. Men received during 1974 and 1975 scored a median eighth grade level on achievement tests. Men who scored at the tenth grade level or higher numbered 1,457 and accounted for 27.9 percent of those tested.

A history of drug use is recorded while the felon is in the reception center. This information is based principally on the inmate's statements and on court records or evidence when available. Of men admitted during 1974 or 1975, nearly two-fifths had a history of heroin addiction. Women with a history of heroin addiction accounted for 41.6 percent of those received in 1975, which was 3.0 percentage points less than the corresponding figure of the previous year,

Characteristics by offense are studied in the remainder of the chapter. These characteristics include: area of commitment, age, ethnic group, prior commitment record, time in State, educational achievement, and narcotic us~.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FELONS IN PRISON Using the years 1964 and 1969, as well as 1974 and 1975, to study

characteristics of persons in prison, facilitates comparison of percentage distributions over a span of years .. At the close of 1964, homicide, robbery, and assault accounted for 37.0 percent of the male felon prison population. At the end of 1975, these three offens~ groups comprised 52.9 percent of the men in prison. Again comparing 1964 with 1975, the offense groups of burglary and forgery / checks comprise a decreasing proportion of male prison population. The proportions of persons in the offense groups controlled substances and marijuana and theft except auto have remained relatively stable.

The proportion of women in the offense groups of homicide, robbery, and assault also increased markedly from 1964 to 1975. Over the same span of years there was a decrease in the percentage of women in prison for forgery and check offenses. The offense group controlled substance and marijuana comprised 25.8 percent of the women in prison at the close of 1964 and 22.8 percent of those in prison at the end of 1975, with fluctuation in the intervening two years.

The median ages of men and women felons in prison at the end of 1974 were 30.4 and 30.3 years, respectively. Over one-fifth (20.5 percent) of the men and 17.5 percent of the women were under 25 years of age. At the end of 1975, the median ages of men and women felons were 29.5 and 29.8 years, both medians were slightly less than the corresponding medians of 1974. The percent~.ge of both men and women felons under age 25 increased during 1975, to 23.5 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively.

White male felons in prison at the end of 1975 comprised 46.2 percent of the male institution population. During the years 1964-1975, the proportion of white male felons has been decreasing while the proportion of black men in prison has been increasing.

The ethnic distribution of women in prison at the end of 1964, 1969, 1974, and 1975 has not been steady. The percentage of white women in prison at the close of these four years has varied from 52.5 in 1964 to a high of 57.5 at the end of 1969 and then back to 50.7 by the close of 1975. Variation between years is also evident in the percentages for the black group. Black women comprised 38.5 percent of the women felon population in 1964, decreased to 31.8 percent by the close of 1974 and comprised 36.2 percent of the population at the end of 1975.

At the close of 1975, almost half of the prison population had exr~,riellced prior jail and/ or juvenile commitments only, as 49.0 percent of the men and 45.6 percent of the women were in this category. Substantially more male felons had experiencr-:d one or more prior prison commitments (35.6 percent) than had women felons (18.0 percent),

Slightly more than 80 percent of the mebl in prison at the end of 1975 had not experienced parole with respect to current commitment,

while the same was true of 84.2 percent of the women. Both of these percentages were higher than the corresponding figures in previous years.

Felons in prison were studied by the calendar year of admission cohort with respect to the percentage remaining in prison on December 31 of the year of intake and the follOWing years. For persons with a minimum statutory sentence of five years, the California Penal Code specifies a minimum time of 20 months in prison before parole.

Approximately 44.2 percent of the 4,839 miUe felons newly received in prison during 1973 remained in prison on December 31, 1975. Only ~6.0 percent of the 308 women felons admitted in 1973 remained in prison at the end of 1975.

Of the 1,160 male felons first admitted to prison for robbery offenses in 1974, 86.2 percent remained in prison at the end of 1975. Male felons admitted for burglary offenses in 1974 tol:'.ued 840, of whom 59.9 percent remained in prison by the end of the first year following the year of admission, representing a decrease of 20.6 percentage points from the corresponding 1973 figure (80.5).

During 1914, 278 women felons were admitted to prison. Of these women, 61.5 percent remained in prison at the end of 1975. Of the 69 women felons admit~.ed during 1974 with narcotic convictions, 71.0 percent remainad~ in prison at the end of 1915. The percentage of women admitted for forgery and checks offenses in 1974, who remained in prison on December 31, 1975, was 40.5.

FELONS RELEASED FROM PRISON In California the term setting board typically places felons on parole

before expiration of sentence. Considering three methods of release: parole, discharge at expiration of sentence, and death as a base, 94.3 percent of the male felons released from prison during 1975 were placed under parole supervision. The corresponding percentage was 94.5 in 1974. While these two percentages are almost equal, men released to parole in 1975 were more than twice as many in number as those released in 1974, 10,578 md 4,717 men, respectively. Only 5.1 percent of the male felons released in 1975 were released at expiration of sentence.

Considering again the same three methods of release, fewer women felons were released during 1975 than in 1974, 330 and 375, repectively. Of the 330 women released during 1975, 86.7 percent were placed under parole supervision and 13.0 percent were discharged at expiration of sentence. These percentages differed from those of 1974 when 90.9 percent of the women were paroled and 9.1 percent were discharged directly from prison.

Before release to first parole during 1975, male felons served a median 39 months in prison. This was four months longer than the median 35 months served by men before first parole during 1974. Men reparoled during 1915 after return to prison with a new California commitment served a median 40 months before release, an increase of four months over the corresponding median of the previous year. A median 18 months had been spent: in prison before re-parole in 1975 by men who had been returned to prison without a new California {!ommitment. This represented an increase of six months over the corresponding median of the previous year.

Women felons released to parole in 1975 served less time than men released to parole in that year. Women felons first paroled during 1975 served a median time in prison of 27 months. The median time served by women felons re-paroled in 1975 after return to prison with a new California commitment was 24 months and for those who had been returned without a new California commitment the median was seven months.

Ti.rp.e served in prison before first parole is given by offense and ethnic group f3r men and women felons. The medians of each ethnic group in the "all offense" summary must be studied with reference to each offense group. If a large proportion of one ethnic group is committed for a relatively serious crime which involves a high median time, that offense will proportionately influence the total ethnic group median, while the ethnic group may not have experienced a disproportionately high med1an within the offense.

Male felons who were first released from prison by discharge in 1975 were in the institution a median 49 months. The corresponding medi-

83


ans in 1974 and 1973 were 21 months and 12 months, respectively. During 1975, only 43 women were discharged directly from prison at expiration of sentence, 12 women were released for the first time, two were released following return from parole with a new California commitment, and 29 were discharged following return from parole without a new California commitment.

Court decisions regarding the death penalty statutes of California have influenced the number of persons in prison with the death sentence. During 1975, 28 persons were received under sentence of death as compared with nine during 1974. The count of persons in prison on December 31, 1975 with a death sentence was 39. The last execution in California occurred in April 1967.

14,556, repre:::enting an increase of 3,007 or 26.0 percent from the 1974 year-end total of 11,549. The ratio of parole population to State population decreased from a high of 78.0 per 100,000 at the end of 1971 to a low of 55.2 per 100,000 at the end of 1974, then increased to 68.9 on December 31, 1975.

A total of 11,639 felons were received on parole during 1975, 10,864 were paroled from the institution, and 752 were reinstated to active parole status as a result of parole board action. Persons removed from parole numbered 8,632 in 1975, of whom 5,969 were terminated by discharge or death. There were 2,663 persons suspended from active parole supervision by board action during 1975. Although the net increase in parole population during 1975 amounted to 3,007 persons, the population at the end of 1975 resulted from an increase of 3,207 men and a decrease of 200 women ullder parole supervision.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FELONS ON PAROLE

Selected characteristics of felons on parole are studied as of December 31, 1964, 1969, 1974, and 1975. The offense group distribution of the male felon parole population at the end of 1975 was comprised principally ofrobbery, 25.6 percent; burglary, 17.6 percent; controlled substances and marijuana, 16.3 percent; and homicide, 10.7 percent. The controlled substances and marijuana group had ranked second (20.6 percent) at the end of 1974. The proportion of persons who had been committed for robbery and burglary increased slightly in 1975, 1.9 and 1.5 percentage points, respectively.

Four major offense groups accounted for 72.1 percent of the women under parole supervision on December 31, 1975. These offense groups were controlled substances and marijuana, 24.0 percent; forgery and checks, 19.2 percent; homicide, J.8.0 percent; and theft except auto, 10.9 percent. These four groups have comprised the major offense categories for women for many years, although relative ranking by percentages has changed. In 1964, forgery and checks ranked first, while the controlled substance and marijuana group was second.

Approximately two-thirds of the total parole population at the end of 1975 were experiencing a first parole. Slightly over two-thirds (68.2 percent) of the male felon parole population had been under supervision for less than one year. Of the 562 women on parole at the end of 1975,44.7 percent had been under supervision less than one year. Most felons released from California prisuns remain in Caill~ornia for parole supervision. At the close of 1975, 88.7 percent of the male felon parole population were supervised in California. The corresponding figure for women was almost exactly the same, 88.6 percent.

PAROLE SUSPENSION

A parolee may be suspended from active parole status by the term setting board for failing to comply with conditions of parole. Most of the parolees suspended are either returned to prison or reinstated to active parole status.

Parolees suspended for the first time from supervision in California are studied by cohort year of release to parole. Of the male felons released to first parole during 1915, 7.1 percent were slJ.spended by the end ·of the year. This was less than the lowest: percentage suspended by tne end of the year of release in the history of the series. The cumulative percentages of male felon parolees suspended do not change much within release cohorts after the end of the third year following parole. Of the 341 women released to parole in California during 1974, only 34.3 percent had been suspended by the end of the first year after parole. This was the lowest release cohort percentage figure at the end of the first year after parole shown for the years 1966 through 1974.

REINSTATEMENT Many persons suspended from active parole by term setting board

actions are reinstated to active status by the same board. One measure of reinstatement is based on the average number of cases suspended during two calendar years, the year during which reinstated and the prior year. In 1975, 689 male felons were reinstated to active parole supervision. This represented a reinstatement rate of 24 per 100 average suspensions, and was higher than the reinstatement rate of any calendar year since 1959. The 1975 rate of reinstatement for women felons was 31 per 100 average :suspensions. This was lower than the reinstatement rate of 34 which occurred in both 1974 and 1973.

Male felon parolees reinstated in 1975 after suspension experienced a median time elapse of four months between first suspension and first reinstatement. The median time in suspended status before reinstatement for this group has been less than six months since 1958.

FELONS DISCHARGED FROM PAROLE

A total of 5,412 male felons were discharged from parole during 1975, representing a 49.7 percent increase from the 3,616 men discharged during 1974. These men included 3,366 who were discharged from first parole, 572 men discharged from re-parole following return to prison with a new Califorr ia commitment, and 1,474 men who were discharged from parole after .. eturn to prison without a new California commitment. For men discharged from first parole, the median time served on parole was 25 months, the same median time as that experienced by men discharged in the previous two years.

Men discharged from re-parole in 1975 who had previously been returned to prison with a new California commitment were in reparole status a median 26 months before discharge. This 26 month median was two months less than that experienced by men similarly discharged during 1974.

Of the 370 women discharged from parole during 1975, 259 were released from first parole. These 259 women spent a median 25 months under parole supervision before discharge. This median was one month less than that experienced by women discharged during 1974 but was the same median time experienced by women similarly discharged in 1973.

A median 25 months on re-parole before discharge in 1975 was experienced by women who had been returned to prison without a new California commitment. The corresponding 1974 median was alsa 25 months.

The 123 male felons discharged from first parole during 1975, who had been committed for murder, second degree, served a median 56 months in prison and spent a median 25 months on parole before discharge.

In accordance with Penal Code Section 2943 (enacted in 1965), the Adult Authority and the Women's Board of Terms and Parole are required to discharge a parolee under indeterminate sentence after two years, if the parolee meets certain standards of rehabilitation. A resolution was adopted by the Adult Authority in 1971 permitting discharge of qualified male felons after one year on parole.

FELONS RETURNED TO CALIFORNIA PRISON The percentages of felons released in 1967 through 1975, who had

been returned to prison by the end of each year after and including the year of release, have been prepared for both those returned after discharge from prison and for those returned after parole. These percentages are tabulated cumulatively for each release year cohort.

Felons who are returned after release to parole are studied in three groups: returned from parole without a new California commitme,:nt, returned from parole with a new California felony commitment, and returned with a new California commitment after discharge from parole.

Of the 11,152 male felons released from prison during IS"; 0, ;~.4 percent had been returned to a California prison by the end of the year. This was the highest number released by parole Olr by discharge during any calendar year in the history of California, and the percentage returned was the lowest since 1958 when this statislical series was started.

Of the male felons released from prison in 1974, 16.0 had been returned by December 31, 1975, the first year after release. This percentage represented a continuation of. the downward trend of past years. The cumulative percentages of men returned to prison by the end of the fifth year after release have also been decreasing during the past five years. Male felons paroled numbered 10,578 during 1975, of

.whom 2.5 percent had been returned to prison by December 31, 1975. This 2.5 percent returned was comprised of 1.1 percent returned without a new California felony commitment and 1.4 percent returned with a new California felony commitment. This was the first time the percentage returned with a new commitment was greater than the percentage returned without a new commitment.

Of the 329 women released from prison during 1975, 4.3 percent had been returned to a California prison by December 31, 1975. This WI;lS

the smallest percentage returned by the end of the year of release since 1958, the beginning of this statistical series. As in prior years, all women returned during the year of release were returned from parole.

The percentage pattern for women felons returned is similar to that of male felons, with the largest percentage of women returned during the first year following the end of the year of release.

Analyses are presented for male felons by five offense groups: robbery, assault, burglary, forgery and checks, and controlled substances and marijuana.
