Under Sacramento's 2011-enacted AB 109 (state prison incarceration "realignment"), "Post-Release Community Supervision" is handled by each County for what Sacramento deems non-violent, non-serious (irrespective of priors) offenders and some sex offenders. Under state law, most cannot be returned to state prison for parole revocations.
