(a) The Senate Bill (SB) 618 Participant, as defined in section 3000, shall be delivered to a Departmental RC as arranged between the respective county Sheriff's personnel and CDCR's Transportation Unit. The RC shall expedite the RC processing of the SB 618 Participant and present the Participant's case to the Classification Staff Representative (CSR) within 30 days of arrival at the RC. The CSR shall endorse the case for placement at an appropriate institution/facility in consideration of the SB 618 Participant's Life Plan. The Departmental Transportation Unit shall expedite movement of SB 618 Participants to the endorsed institution/facility utilizing existing resources when possible. Within 14 days from the time the Senate Bill (SB) 618 Participant, as defined in section 3000, arrives at the endorsed institution, the SB 618 Participant shall be seen by the Initial Classification Committee to ensure that the SB 618 Participant is assigned to appropriate programming according to his or her Life Plan as described in subsection 3077.1(b).

(b) Upon completion of the Initial Classification Committee, the Inmate Assignment Office shall assign the SB 618 Participant into assignments that correspond with his or her Life Plan.

(c) A Classification Committee shall review the SB 618 Participant's progress and case factors at least once a year.

(d) The Prison Case Manager (PCM), as described in subsection 3077.1(a)(1)(D), shall:

(e) Six months prior to release, the PCM, the SB 618 Participant, parole representative, and the CCM will meet and revise the Life Plan with an emphasis on the community reentry plan for housing, transportation, and immediate enrollment in community support programs which include, but are not limited to, substance abuse and mental health services, work readiness training and placement.

(f) A SB 618 Participant who no longer wishes to participate in the SB 618 Program or is no longer eligible for retention at the SB 618 programming institutions, will be seen by an SB 618 Advisory Group in the institution or while on parole in the community. Reasons for being determined ineligible while in the program may include, but are not limited to, rule violations in prison with a guilty finding, archive information which if known prior to entry into the program, such as past violence, would have precluded the SB 618 Participant from the program, not following program requirements, and parole violations subsequent to parole. The respective Advisory Group will make a determination regarding the SB 618 Participant's continued participation in the SB 618 Program.
