2022 Staff Misconduct Review Process Monitoring Report
This report summarizes our monitoring of the inquiries and investigations the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation performed from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021 into allegations of staff misconduct incarcerated persons raised through the department’s grievance and appeal processes. The report concludes that despite its revised regulatory framework for processing its staff misconduct cases, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation continues to earn poor ratings; flawed practices by departmental staff into staff misconduct allegations cause inquiries and investigations to be deficient.
