§ 3571. Sex Offender Residence Restrictions.
Sex offenders may be subject to residence restrictions as specified in this section with the approval of the Unit Supervisor, on a case-by-case basis based on the particularized circumstances of each individual parolee.
(1) Park means an outdoor public area used primarily for recreational purposes. A determination of whether an area is a park shall not be limited to a consideration of whether the area includes a play structure, athletic field or court, or any other particular characteristic, but shall be based on an overall evaluation of whether the area is used for recreational purposes.
(5) Public Area means an area that any governmental entity owns, operates, leases, rents, or otherwise legally controls as if owned by the governmental entity. “Governmental entity,” for the purposes of this section, includes, but is not limited to: the United States, any state, any county, any city, any special district, or any subdivision thereof.
(b) The Unit Supervisor must approve a residence restriction that was proposed by the Parole Agent before it is imposed on a sex offender. Any residence restriction that will prohibit a parolee from residing within any distance of a park where children regularly gather, public or private school serving any grades of kindergarten through 12, or other location decided upon by the Parole Agent shall be justified based on a connection between the parolee's commitment offense, criminal history, and/or future criminality, to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
(2) During the initial interview between the parolee and the Parole Agent upon release from custody, and before any change of residence while under parole supervision, the parolee shall provide his or her Parole Agent with the address where he or she intends to reside upon verification and approval of the Parole Agent.
(3) The Parole Agent shall utilize available resources to identify any public or private schools and parks where children regularly gather, to determine if any will fall within any residence restrictions imposed on the parolee. Available resources that may be considered include, but are not limited to:
(4) If any public or private schools and/or parks where children regularly gather are identified to be within the residence restriction, the Parole Agent shall use a Global Positioning System (GPS) measuring device to determine the distance from the residence to the school and/or park. The distance shall be measured from the primary entrance of the proposed residence to the nearest exterior property boundary of the school and/or park.
(5) Parolees shall be advised whether the proposed residence is compliant with the residence restriction. If the residence is noncompliant based on the measurements taken by the Parole Agent, as described in subsection 3571(e)(4) above, the actual distance and name of the prohibited public or private school, or park where children regularly gather, and method of measurement shall be disclosed to the parolee upon his or her request.
