Operative words
We have implemented accelerated release credits for eligible inmates with 60 days or less on their sentence, stipulated orders to release those deemed as medically high-risk and recently began releasing inmates on zero bail per an order by the State Judicial Council. At the same time, we implemented an 'emergency booking criteria' to reduce the number of people being booked into our jails.... we are now able to quarantine those being booked into our jails for a seven-day period.... Temperature checks for all entering the facilities... Masks for inmates and staff, as well as limiting movement at all our jails
Enforcement
Sheriff's authority; Judicial Council Emergency Rule 4
Notes
Reaches the bail-bond industry and jail vendors; documents that the county's jail population reduction was court-ordered in part.
