An assessment by California State University, Chico faculty found positive results in Butte County’s response to the shift of some felony offenders from state prisons to county jails.

The state’s criminal justice realignment, triggered by Assembly Bill 109, began shifting the custody and supervision of low-level felons to the counties in October 2011.

The complete release is available on the CSU, Chico News website.
