Tehama County, not included in the study, is a different story, say leaders behind the plan approved March 27. The American Civil Liberties Union of California issued its newest report March 21, titled "Pub- lic Safety Realignment: California at a Crossroads." The more than 100-page docu- ment looks systematically at 53 county plans, including Shasta County's, that were developed in the first five months since Assembly Bill 109 went into effect Oct. 1, 2011. Tehama County was not included in the study because it is one of five counties that had not released a completed plan yet.

Truck burned beyond recognition By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer CORNING — An early morning fire Friday in the middle of a Corning Orchard in the area of Edith and Gallagher avenues has left a Ford Ranger pickup near- ly unrecognizable. According to the California Highway Patrol website, the incident was reported at 3:42 a.m. when Corning Police received a call of a car fire in which the vehicle was reportedly stripped. The site shows the vehicle as being fully engulfed many counties promise to adopt alternatives to incarceration and evi- dence-based practices to reduce recidivism but haven't put them into effect. Much of Tehama County's plan is related to the adaptation of evi- dence-based practices in the form of community services and public health programs incorporated into the jail and the work farm concept. However, until a work farm is complete, the county is looking to increase work release programs and electronic monitoring to relieve jail population woes. The ACLU called it "troubling" that data collection in order for the state to monitor whether the plans are working was not mandated in legislation. Addressing many of the same issues touched on in the ACLU study, the Tehama County plan offers a solution to reducing recidi- vism through its "cornerstone," a work farm, or re-entry facility. The ACLU report starts by bring- ing to light the incarceration conun- drum. selectively incarcerates to deal with mental health, drug abuse, and eco- nomic and social problems that can never be solved simply by locking more people behind bars," the report states. Among the findings, the ACLU report emphasizes that more than 71 percent of inmates in county jails are not yet sentenced, awaiting tri- als. BROWN Continued from page 1A temporary tax hikes.

Schwarzenegger's remarks temporarily soured relations with some lawmakers and with gay and lesbian groups. "The criminal justice system sion," the report states. Counties generally don't have a formula to account for their plans or standard criteria to measure success. Tehama County has been work- ing on this issue, with a subcommit- tee dedicated solely to data collec- tion and measuring outcomes. Chief Probation Officer Richard Muench is meeting this week with members of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency to outline criteria about what data is to be col- lected and which outcomes are nec- essary to assess.

This may or may not be influential in future funding decisions. The ACLU argues that current funding methods are not conducive to furthering AB109 objectives. Counties that have historically incarcerated more lower-level offenders get more money from AB109 sources, the ACLU report states. The idea is that the state needs a upon arrival of the first person on scene at 3:48 a.m. "We couldn't even get a full (vehicle identification number) number off it to determine if it's stolen or not," said CHP Officer Phil Mackintosh. "The whole thing was burned up." The vehicle, which was about 150 feet into the orchard, was completely burned and had no license plates or wheels, according to the site. The cause is undetermined and the fire was con- tained at 3:51 a.m., a CalFire spokeswoman said. The pickup was a total loss with damage estimates at $2,500. Anyone with information is asked to call the Red The ACLU report argues that this perpetuates the "business-as-usual" philosophy, with many counties using the AB109 funds to expand or build jails, which, in effect, cancels out the goal of realignment — to keep people out of jails and decrease recidivism. Of the 58 counties in California, 32 plan to expand jail capacity using AB109 funds, the report states. This includes the Shasta County plan to re-open an unused floor of the exist- ing jail and fully staff it. Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com.

At least one residence does have water and power shut off, but still has someone residing in it, Linnet said. "A lot of these are foreclosures and we can- not collect anything until they sell," Linnet said. While Corning could use a collection agency, that is not the best option as agencies keep half of what they collect, she said. The city has collected about $1,500 within the last two weeks from the last time Corning autho- rized a lien, which was in December 2010, Lin- net said. Mayor Gary Strack Sides has already gotten the attention of peers and teachers at school, she said.
