Included below is a copy of an email I sent to CDCR regarding the 60 day victim notification rule, and their response. As you can see, the 60 rule has been temporarily waived, which means I am now being held against my will.
The law requires 60 days notice to victims of violent crimes, such as rape, to be given 60 days notice if any changes to the offenfer's release date. Does this apply to release date changes given as a result off the 12 weeks credit issued under Gov. C. §8658? Or is this requirement waived in light of the imminent threat to life? I'm not opposed if the 12 weeks means I'm not given 60 days notice. I've known for years that he was getting out this year. The difference is only 12 weeks, I was just curious.
Thank you.
Hello,
You are correct. Normally, we would we notify registered victims, 60 days before the offender release date. However, unfortunately, during these unprecedented times, as soon as we know an offender is being released due to COVID-19, we make every attempt notify to victim’s and victim’s next of kin.
