I thought it couldn't get worse for impacted employees facing layoff! Not only did CDCR show you the door but now they are going to deny you the chance of "cashing out" your leave credits.
Impacted Permanent Full Time Officers are being noticed on the mandatory usage of designated leave credits and have been authorized to use designated leave credits. Impacted Intermittent Employees Have Not Been authorized the use of designated leave credits at this time. The designated leave usage will begin as noted on attachment "A". (see memo in SAB)

Only 7 Layoffs at CMC
Cal Coast News — Of the 545 layoff warning notices the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sent out last week, only seven went to employees of the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo.
As part of a state prison realignment that is slated to reduce the prison population by 33,000 within two years by moving some offenders to county jails, staff numbers are also slated to decline. Throughout the state prison system, there are now 14,000 fewer inmates than there were six months ago.
Even so, at the California Men’s Colony the prisoner population has remained consistent at approximately 5,686 inmates. Plans are in the works to decrease the population by 500 inmates before the end of the fiscal year, said Dean Spears, public information officer at CMC.
“California prisons have some 14,000 fewer inmates today than four months ago at the beginning of the public safety realignment,” Spears said. “Consequently, staffing needs have also fallen. As the inmate population decreases at CMC, so will the staffing needs of our institution.”
Currently, there are 912 people employed at CMC. Another round of layoffs is scheduled for the fall.

There was no Sergeants that received notice, and zero Lieutenants received notice.(I'm not real sure about these numbers)
More than ever look out for your partners, we have many friends that are being effected by the layoff. There are many resources available to you. Please contact me if you need to vent or just have general questions.
I'm hoping CIM management will be out and about, talking to staff.

Layoff News report / possibly 140 Officers
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California prison officials have sent layoff notices to 545 employees, including 140 guards, as the inmate population declines to comply with a federal court order.
Corrections officials said Friday there are 14,000 fewer inmates than four months ago, when a new law began sending those convicted of lower-level offenses to county jails instead of state prisons.
Federal judges, in an order backed by the U.S. Supreme Court, gave the state two years to reduce its prison population by 33,000 inmates to improve medical care. The population peaked at 162,000 in 2006.
The layoffs will take effect Feb. 29, although some of those affected can transfer to other prisons that have vacancies.
Another round of layoffs is planned this fall. Officials could not say how many notices will go out then.

CDCR layoff letters are going out!
Late this afternoon a conference call went out to all Institutions. The subject matter was lay off notices:

January 26, 2012
WHAT TO DO IF YOU RECEIVE A LAYOFF NOTICE
Bargaining Unit 6 employees subject to layoff should anticipate receiving a layoff notice soon, perhaps as early as Friday, January 27, 2012. If you receive a layoff notice and you believe you have reasons to contest your layoff due to errors in your seniority score, the form of the notice, or the layoff procedure itself, contact our CCPOA field representative, Corey Davis, immediately so that your case can be evaluated in a timely manner. Corey Davis can be reached by calling our Sacramento Office at (800) 821- 6443 or (916) 372-6060.
CCPOA has negotiated a FINAL TRANSFER PROCESS in WAVE 1 before layoffs will occur for Correctional Officers. This will allow one final opportunity for a Correctional Officer to relocate prior to the occurrence of a layoff. We highly encourage employees to participate in the process and avoid this outcome. Notices and bid forms offering PICO positions at 7 institutions will be sent to impacted Correctional Officers by CDCR. These institutions include CAL, CEN, COR, HDSP, KVSP, PBSP, and SVSP.Staff that are awarded selections during this Final Opportunity will be afforded 3 days of ATO and the option of using up to 10 days of leave credits to facilitate moving. During this final opportunity, CDCR will not offer per diem.
CCPOA continues, through its central and individual institutional resources, to work to alleviate the reach and impact of layoffs resulting from AB 109.

GREAT NEWS OFFICER ROB MCGOWAN
Sentence Overturned For Chino Prison Guard
A federal appeals court panel has overturned the sentence of a former guard convicted of abusing two shackled inmates at Chino Institute for Men.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that 42-year-old Robert McGowan was deprived of due process when a judge relied on an inmate's allegations as the basis for the four-y...ear sentence imposed.
McGowan has served 19 months.
A jury in October 2007 found McGowan guilty of inflicting cruel and unusual punishment by throwing two shackled inmates to the ground, but a month later the verdict was overturned.
The appeals panel found there was enough evidence for the jury to conclude that McGowan attacked the prisoners in 2002 and had intended to harm them.
The appeals panel ordered a re-sentencing for McGowan.
