The Little Hoover Commission
The Little Hoover Commission is a bipartisan organization that often
writes reports on various agencies of the State of California. Every few years,
they issue a report on the California Department of Corrections. In January of
1998, the Little Hoover Commission issued a report on the state of California's
prisons and gave many statistics and findings. Amongst its findings were (1)
the problems with California's focus on putting nonviolent and non-serious
offenders in expensive state prisons and (2) the state's high recidivism rate
because of the lack of rehabilitation and treatment programs.
