Twenty-eight district attorneys across California, including San Diego County’s, have been granted a temporary restraining order to prevent some repeat offenders with serious and violent criminal histories from being released early by the state prison officials, Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office announced on Dec. 29.
The temporary restraining order granted by Sacramento Superior Court Judge Raymond Cadei keeps the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from increasing good conduct credits from 50 percent to 66 percent for eligible prisoners with nonviolent convictions, including repeat offenders.
