Palazuelos is currently in the Post Release Offender Program, created by Assembly Bill 109- the 2011 Public Safety Realignment- which was effective October 1, 2011. This program mandates that individuals sentenced to non-violent, non-serious or non-sex offenses will serve their sentences in county jails instead of state prison. The public should be aware that release under AB 109 is based on the offender’s most recent commitment offense, prior convictions are not considered.
