§ 3076.4. Recommendation Pursuant to Subdivision (e) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code--Processes.
A physician employed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) who determines an inmate meets the eligibility requirements described in section 3076(b), shall initiate the recall process on behalf of the inmate. The inmate or their family member or designee may also independently request Penal Code (PC) section 1170(e) recall consideration by contacting the institution’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) or Chief Medical Executive (CME), or the Secretary.
(a) The physician shall document on a CDC Form 128-C (Rev. 01/96), Chrono-Medical-Psychiatric-Dental, the inmate’s illness, functional status, including the inmate’s abilities or limitations in performing activities of daily living, ambulatory status, the reason why the inmate has 12 months or less to live or is permanently medically incapacitated, and their desire to participate in the recall process.
(b) The CMO or CME, Deputy Medical Executive, and Statewide Chief Medical Executive, California Prison Health Care Services, shall have five working days to review and sign the CDC Form 128-C, approving the physician’s prognosis. The signed CDC Form 128-C shall be submitted to the C&PR within three working days following the Statewide Chief Medical Executive’s approval.
(1) If the inmate is sentenced to death or to life without the possibility of parole, the Classification and Parole Representative (C&PR) shall document the reason for the ineligibility on a CDC Form 128-B (Rev. 04/74), General Chrono, and file the original in the inmate’s central file. A copy of the CDC Form 128-B excluding any confidential information, as defined in section 3321, shall be sent to the inmate and the inmate’s physician.
(2) If the inmate is not sentenced to death or to life without the possibility of parole, medical staff shall explain the recall of commitment process to the inmate within 48 hours of notification and arrange for the inmate to designate a family member or other outside agent on CDCR Form 7385 (Rev. 09/09), Authorization for Release of Information, which is incorporated by reference. The inmate’s designee shall be informed about the recall of commitment process and the inmate’s medical condition. If the inmate is mentally unfit to designate a family member or other outside agent, medical staff shall contact the inmate’s emergency contact listed on the Notification in Case of Inmate Death, Serious Injury, or Serious Illness (see section 3357) and advise them of the recall process.
(1) If a positive recommendation for recall is made, and the inmate is sentenced to a determinate term, the recommendation shall be referred directly to the sentencing court and shall include one or more medical evaluations, the findings of which must determine the inmate meets the criteria set forth in PC section 1170(e)(2), and a post-release plan.
(h) Pursuant to PC section 1170(e)(9), if the sentencing court grants the recall and resentencing application, the inmate shall be released by the department within 48 hours of receipt of the court’s order, unless a longer time period is agreed to by the inmate or ordered by the court. If the inmate has agreed to waive the 48-hour release requirement, the department shall request the sentencing court include in its order that the inmate shall be released within 30 calendar days to allow for the coordination of their housing and medical needs in the community to a location where access to care is available.
(j) At the time of release, medical staff shall ensure the inmate has each of the following in their possession; a discharge medical summary, full medical records, State identification, parole medication, and all property belonging to the inmate. After discharge, any additional records shall be sent to the inmate’s forwarding address.
