DEFINITIONS AND FORMULAS USED TO PRODUCE THE ANNUAL
ESCAPE REPORT
The Annual Escape Report presents the number of escapes from California Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation (CDCR) Adult Institutions, Camps, Community Correctional Centers, State Hospitals,
Off Reservation Work Crew Assignments and Temporary Community Releases. Escapes that occur
while the offender is outside of CDCR custody (out to court, hospital, etc.) are not included in this report.

The Average Daily Population per day for the adult institution and camp
population.

ADP:

Community Correctional
Centers:

County, state and private facilities in local communities administered by
or under contract with CDCR to house inmates in community correctional
facilities, work furloughs, prisoner mother programs or parole violators
returned to local jails.

Escape Rates:
Rate of Escapes From
Institutions and Camps

=

(Number of Escapes) X 100
(ADP)

Rate of Escapes From
Community Correctional Centers

=

(Number of Escapes) X 100
(Population at Risk)

Off Reservation Work
Crew Assignment:

Population at Risk:

Temporary Community
Release:

Offenders away from the institution under CDCR custody, working on a
maintenance crew or disaster relief team.

Offenders in a population on January 1 of any given year, plus
offenders entering the population during the year. This is used instead
of the ADP in calculating the Community Correctional Center escape
rates. This is due to the more diverse program types, population and
typically shorter length of stay.

Temporary location for offenders away from adult institution for less
than 72 hours (upon CDCR approval).
