ABOUT SADCR
DEPARTMENT HISTORY

---

1851 - 1970
In 1851, San Andreas activated its first state run institutions. These prisons operated independently and held jurisdictional authority over their own prisons. In 1949, the San Andreas Board of Prison Commissioners was founded to have managerial authority over the state prison system. In 1955, the San Andreas High Facility Prison was activated. Located in Bone County, it was the first prison in the state designed to house maximum security inmates. The prison also had a gas chamber for death row inmates.

---

1970 - 2013
In 1970, the Los Santos Prison was activated. Located in downtown Los Santos, it became the state's primary general population institution for medium security inmates.
In 2009, an independent review panel appointed by the Governor of San Andreas determined that the prison management system in use by the state was costly and inefficient. The panel referenced a recidivism rate exceeding all other states, reported abuse of inmates by correctional officers, an disciplinary system that fails to promise wrongdoers, and a lack of organization. In 2010, to combat these issues, the state prisons were consolidated into the San Andreas Department of Corrections.

Daniel Undr, the Warden of Los Santos Prison, was appointed to become the Department's first Commissioner. Under Commissioner Undr's direction, the Department underwent major reform that turned a formerly unconnected prison system into a statewide correctional program, including changes to structure, organization, policy, procedures, and personnel.

Commissioner Undr appointed Timothy Bradshaw to become the new Warden of Los Santos Prison. In mid 2010, Warden Bradshaw was arrested and charged with several felonies stemming from an internal corruption investigation. Although Warden Bradshaw pled not guilty and was eventually acquitted, he was not permitted to remain in the Department. Commissioner Undr selected Adam Williams to succeed Warden Bradshaw.

In late 2010, Commissioner Undr announced his resignation. Warden Williams was appointed as his successor and became the second Commissioner in the Department's history. In 2011, Commissioner Williams oversaw even bigger changes to the Department. New policy and procedures were created that further increased the efficiency and accountability of the department. New units were activated, designed to supplement the duties of regular officers. The Department's recruitment process was streamlined, leading to an increase in personnel. The position of prison warden was removed and direct control of prisons became vested with the Commissioner.

Commissioner Williams soon resigned thereafter. He was succeeded by Dexter Abbruzi. Commissioner Abbruzi led a campaign to increase the Department's budget to purchase more equipment. The campaign succeeded and the Department was able to replace outdated equipment and vehicles and advance the Department's technological capabilities. In late 2011, the Los Santos Prison underwent renovations designed to expand the prison to account for an increased inmate population.

In early 2012, new legislation made parole, a task formerly given to the municipal police and county sheriff with jurisdiction over a parolee's residence, a responsibility of the Department. This further expanded the Department's responsibilities and allowed them to better rehabilitate offenders and prepare them for release back into the community.

In response to overcrowding at Los Santos Prison, the San Andreas High Facility Prison was completely redesigned and reopened in 2012 as the new San Andreas Correctional Facility. The new prison was totally state of the art and boasted two general population housing buildings, one security housing building, six housing units, and a total of 120 cells. Most of the functions of Los Santos Prison were moved to the new institution. The San Andreas Correctional Facility was subsequently completely redesigned, with renovation projects topping out in 2017 and giving San Andreas a genuine 21st century correctional facility.

---

2013 - 2018
Commissioner Abbruzi led the Department until 2013. He was succeeded by Galen Hawkins. In early 2014, Commissioner Hawkins reintroduced the position of prison warden and appointed John Winnfield to become the first Warden of San Andreas Correctional Facility. On June 28, 2014, Commissioner Hawkins resigned. Appointed as his successor, Warden Winnfield chose to retain his title, thereby making the Warden of San Andreas Correctional Facility the highest ranking officer in the department. Warden Winnfield implemented additional organizational changes, such as the division of the department into three distinct bureaus, during his first months of office.

Warden Winnfield’s tenure saw the expansion of the Department Corrections in all directions, resulting in multiple overhauls and reforms. The first of such expansions include the introduction of the Parole Operations Unit, a SADCR unit composed of peace officers acting in accordance of the powers given to them by the 2015 Parole Enforcement Act, which passed in June 2015 after much debate in the San Andreas legislature.

This wouldn’t be the last piece of legislature to recognize the involvement of SADCR in the San Andreas criminal justice system: 2016 saw the Establishment of Convicted Rights’ Act, better known as the ECRA. The ECRA was instrumental in defining what rights and privileges inmates were entitled to, and provided a tighter legal framework for SADCR to operate under.
Concurrently to the growing legal recognition of the Department of Corrections, Warden John Winnfield’s tenure saw an emphasis on staff training and equipment.

In May 2018, the San Andreas Department of Corrections became the San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. This move came with two other significant reforms to SADCR — The Special Services Unit's activation, and the re-organization of the Department into divisions.

ABOUT SADCR
PAROLE INFORMATION

---

GENERAL INFORMATION

Pursuant to State policy and law, The San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation offers inmates the opportunity for early monitored release: Parole. Parole is a process which grants an inmate early release from prison under certain conditions.
All parole procedures, including hearings, monitoring, and enforcement, are conducted by the Parole Operations Unit. Parole Agents are present throughout the parole period, which may span years. Parolees are assisted in tasks such as getting a job or finding housing.

Parole Agents are trained and legally authorized Peace Officers.

There are three stages to the parole process:

• Background check
  Parole Interview
  Supervised Release

Offenders seeking parole should approach a correctional officer in order to set the process in motion.

---

PAROLE ELIGIBILITY

The San Andreas Penal Code precludes inmates with any prior history involving the following offenses:

• PC1-12. Mayhem
  PC1-07. Kidnapping
  PC1-03. Attempted Murder with the Government Worker Clause
  PC1-08. Murder
  PC1-06. Manslaughter
  PC4-20. Violation of Parole Or Probation

The San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is thus not authorized to grant parole to offenders having a history of those offenses, under any circumstances.

Other factors may play a role in the approval of an offender's early release:

• Disciplinary history within SADCR
  Participation to Inmate Programs
  History of Security Threat Group affiliations
  Circumstances of convictions
  Outlook of the offender regarding their release

---

The following conditions may apply, on a case-by-case basis:

• Non-affiliation with criminal associations, or certain persons.

The following methods are routinely used by Parole Agents during the performance of parole enforcement or surveillance:

• Searches of the property or person of parolees
  Drug tests
  Phone calls / Appointments with the parolee
  Intelligence gathering with the parolee's relatives, friends, or coworkers
  Passive surveillance
  

If it is found that the parolee is breaking the terms of their release, their parole period may be extended, or entirely revoked. In the latter case, the parolee is re-incarcerated in a state prison.
