 California Assembly Bill 900 Prison Reforms: Achieving Results
California Assembly Bill (AB) 900, signed into law on May 3, 2007,
provides authorization to build up to 40,000 state prison beds and up to
13,000 local jail beds in two phases. In total, $2.4 billion has been
authorized for up to 16,000 infill beds and $300 million for
infrastructure, while $2.6 billion is allocated for up to 16,000 reentry
program beds and $1.14 billion for up to 8,000 medical, mental health,
and dental program beds. The original bed plan has been revised and
refined to ensure that every new bed built will be accompanied by related
treatment and program space, as directed by AB 900.
