LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2333, as introduced, Emmerson. County detention facilities: release of inmates to other counties. Existing law provides that a person placed on probation by a court shall be under the supervision of the county probation officer who shall determine the level and type of supervision consistent with the court-ordered conditions of probation. This bill would prohibit a county probation officer from placing a person subject to his or her supervision, who the officer has reason to believe may be in the country illegally, in a residential facility in another county if the person is subject to probation supervision because of an offense that occurred in the probation officer's county, except as specified.
