State to Inmates: Get Out and Stay Out

Alarge handful of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) representatives met with Santa Barbara law enforcement officials this week to discuss whether the county might host a specialized lockup for inmates returning home from stretches in state prisons. In hopes of their county being selected as a site for the re-entry facility, some two dozen Ventura County officials also attended the daylong convocation at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting room on Friday, October 12.

The Santa Barbara City Council wrestled with the competing parking needs of apartment dwellers and condo owners living across from each other on Modoc Road on 10/16. At the end of the day, it wasn’t clear who prevailed. Owners of the new condos asked for residential parking permits so that apartment owners across the street couldn’t poach the condo owners’ parking spaces.
