POLICY
The Kern County Sheriff’s Office Compliance Section, Programs Unit, in cooperation
with contractors, community-based organizations (CBO), and other professional and
non-profit organizations, will provide or arrange for the facilitation of a variety of
curriculum to the eligible in-custody population.
The goal of incarcerated people programs is to collaborate with community agencies
and organizations to produce programs that promote the goal of removing barriers to
successful re-entry into the community while reducing recidivism in Kern County. The
purpose of this procedure is to establish a uniform process for assigning incarcerated
people to in-custody programs.
