ardly a week goes by in the Inland Empire lately without a new report of an inmate death in either Riverside or San Bernardino County. As recently reported by the IE Voice on August 15, 2022, An arrest should not be a death sentence.

Whether the cause of death is unknown pending investigation with little if any information ever disclosed because such investigations tend to linger on; or someone dies at the hands of a fellow incarcerated person; or illness and purportedly questionable healthcare or lack there of; or, failure to adhere to safety protocols during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic; or, more recently, fentanyl overdoses, the truth is the often minor violations that lead to incarceration can be a death sentence not only here in the Inland Empire but across the state.

In February, the California State Auditor released a blistering report on the high numbers of jail deaths in San Diego County and in counties across the state.

“Given that the annual number of incarcerated individuals’ deaths in county jails across the state increased from 130 in 2006 to 156 in 2020, improving the statewide standards is essential to ensuring the health and safety of individuals in custody in all counties.”

The report made it clear: “The problems we identified with the Sheriff’s Department’s policies

are in part the result of statewide corrections standards that are not sufficiently robust.” These standards however, are the minimum and it is left to the discretion of the individual counties to use these standards to create policies for inmate safety and care.

This might be conceived as malpractice on the part of the state when one considers the attitudes of many of the local sheriffs in California who never miss an opportunity to speak out against anything designed to improve criminal justice or the process of incarceration.

State standards are inadequate So, it should have come as no surprise when state auditors determined, “some of the standards are insufficient for maintaining the safety of incarcerated individuals,” noting in one example how the standards do not explicitly require that mental health professionals be used to perform mental health screenings during the intake process despite the number of individuals with mental health and drug related dependencies that cyle in and out of local jails.

Another failure in the process could help protect the incarcerated related to safety checks. There is

Beat deadline and Apply Now for Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, State Leaders Urge

Antonio Ray Harvey | Calfornia Black Media

alifornia Attorney General Rob Bonta is urging Californians to take advantage of recent changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness (TEPSLF) programs.

Bonta’s announcement coincides with a CNBC survey that reports that 31% of Black women are disproportionately impacted by student debt.

Also, 48% of Black students owe an average of 12.5% more than they borrowed four years after graduation, according to the Educational Data Initiative (EDI).

Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Alameda), a member of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) shared her own struggles with paying back student debt she owed.

“I graduated with over $150,000 in student debt. I was in my 20s then,” she said. “I didn’t make my final payment until almost 20 years

later, just in time to send my oldest daughter to college.”

According to Bonta, a Black woman owes 112% of the loan amount she takes out 12 years after starting college. For a Latina, she will owe 86% of that loan 12 years after starting college.

“Black and Latino students, coming from low-income communities, take on a disproportionate amount of school debt,” Bonta said. “I witness this every single day.”

The PSLF and TEPSLF programs are entirely different from President Joe Biden’s plan for targeted student debt cancellation to borrowers with loans held by the Department of Education. Qualifying borrowers must have “annual income of under $125,000 (for individuals) or under $250,000 (for married couples or heads of households). Borrowers who qualify can have up to $10,000 worth of eligible debt canceled. If the continued on page 13

What You Need to Know About the Updated COVID-19 Boosters Breanna Reeves | Staff

U

pdated vaccine booster doses are now available at local pharmacies, doctor’s offices and community health centers. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorization of updated bivalent booster doses on September 1, the new formula is expected to offer better protection against the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra stated during a White House press briefing that by the end of the week (September 10th), over 90% of Americans will live within five miles of these new updated vaccines.

The bivalent boosters contain a formula that includes components of the initial strain of the COVID-19 virus and components of the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron variants. The FDA authorized the use of Moderna’s bivalent booster for individuals 18 years of age and older and the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster for individuals 12 years of age and older.

“Getting an updated vaccine this fall will help restore protection that has waned since your previous vaccination. And laboratory data suggests that the addition of the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 spike protein components may help broaden the spectrum of variants the immune system is ready to respond to,” said U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky during press briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials on Sept. 6.

According to Dr. Gil Chávez, founding Chief of the Center for Infectious Diseases, Deputy Director, and State Epidemiologist in the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), previous COVID-19 (monovalent) boosters will no longer be available. Individuals who are eligible for boosters will be given the bivalent doses, regardless of what previous booster an individual received.

This week, California received an initial batch of 600,000 updated booster doses, and are expecting more. Roughly 58% of the population across the state has received a primary two-dose series of the COVID-19 and a booster. Public health officials are hoping to increase that

Bivalent boosters are available at local CVS Pharmacies in Southern California. According to a CVS Pharmacy health professional who administers vaccines, the location received a shipment of doses last week and began offering appointments on Tuesday (Image via CVS Pharmacy).

percentage as the winter season approaches, along with a COVID-19 surge.

"Most Californians are now eligible for an updated Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech booster and will be able to strengthen their protection against COVID-19 as we head into the fall and winter seasons,” California Health & Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly and Director of CDPH Dr. Tomás J. Aragón said in a joint statement.

“Because protection from infection can decrease over time, the updated boosters are a safe way to maintain protection and reduce the most severe outcomes of COVID-19, such as hospitalization, long COVID, and death."

As the U.S. transitions into the endemic phase — learning to live with the COVID-19 virus — Americans will be encouraged to receive a yearly COVID-19 booster shot, similar to a yearly flu shot.

During a media briefing, Dr. Chavez explained that the immunity from having the COVID-19 infection lasts about three months and advised that those who have been infected should get a booster vaccine once they test negative for the virus.

Free of charge in California, eligible individuals can find available bivalent booster doses by visiting myturn.ca.gov or by contacting their providers.

Starting Over Part 1

Every Exit is An Entrance

by Breanna Reeves Reentering your community and rebuilding life after paying one’s debt to society is often riddled with unexpected obstacles and impeded by limited access to support. In this series, you will follow the reentry journey of former inmate Michael Jurado as he navigates the challenges faced by himself and others as they struggle to cleanse themselves of the stigma of incarceration and discover the community organizations working valiantly to fill gaps in support left open by state and local governments.

avigating life after prison is no easy task. In California, if a person is paroled — released early based on specific conditions — they may leave prison after years with just a few hundred dollars, their personal belongings and a mandate to meet with their parole officer ASAP. What’s more telling, though, is what they’re often leaving without.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)

10 VOICE | SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 | theievoice.com

offers residential and outpatient programs, but all newly released persons aren’t guaranteed access to them since many programs require specific criteria while others are voluntary. Presently, CDCR offers 10 different types of programs as part of services for people who have recently left or are preparing to leave the prison system. They are categorized as being pre- or post-release rehabilitative programs.

According to a May report, there are 994 people under CDCR jurisdiction statewide enrolled in Pre-Release Community Programs, designated for individuals who are able to serve the last part of their sentence in community programs.

Of these 10 program types, just three are offered in the Inland Empire, with the exception of the Alternative Custody Program which allows an individual currently serving a sentence to apply to serve out their sentence in the community. The program types offered are: Female Offender Treatment and Employment Program (San Bernardino); Specialized

E

S T O R Y Treatment for Optimized Programming (STOP) (San Bernardino); and Community-Based Coalition and Day Reporting Centers (San Bernardino and Riverside).

Different ways to measure In 2015, a group of San Bernardino researchers examined barriers to reentry for formerly incarcerated individuals and found that parolees who lived in regions with more social services available were less likely to re-offend. Reverting back to criminal behavior, like being rearrested, is known as recidivism.

Recidivism is defined and measured differently across the U.S. In 2014, the California Board of State and Community Corrections defined recidivism as a conviction for a new felony or misdemeanor within three years of being released from custody.

California legislators passed a series of corrections’ reforms to reduce prison overcrowding and recidivism in 2011 and 2014. During the last decade, California’s changes to how it measures recidivism have made it difficult to compare its recidivism rates to other states.

However, the Public Policy Institute of California noted that historically, the state has had one of the highest recidivism rates in the nation.

Researchers acknowledged that recidivism rates are related to multiple factors aside from behavior which contribute to the success of the reentry process.

Dr. Annika Anderson, a sociology professor at California State University, San Bernardino, explained that both individual-level factors and structural factors have the ability to impede successful reentry. Individual factors include a person’s sex, race and socioeconomic status while structural factors include communities, agencies and housing or employment opportunities.

The stigma of incarceration an impediment to employment Project Rebound, which has chapters at campuses across the state, aims to reduce recidivism by supporting pathways to a college degree and a career.

“Our estimate of the unemployment rate establishes that formerly incarcerated people want to work, but face structural barriers to securing employment, particularly within the period immediately following

release,” according to the Prison Policy Institute’s research. For those who are Black or Hispanic — especially women — their status as “formerly incarcerated” reduces their employment chances even more. The difficulty formerly imprisoned people have finding stable jobs and housing can be attributed to the stigma they experience related to a prison conviction.

Anderson emphasized that societal stigmatization of a criminal record means that people are labeled by their actions. It becomes their main identity instead of just part of it, she said. She recently reviewed a book, “Beyond Recidivism: New Approaches to Research on Prisoner Reentry and Reintegration” by Andrea Leverentz, Elsa Y. Chen, and Johnna Christian, that discussed what works and doesn’t work when it comes to reentry.

“The important takeaway is that reentry programs can minimize the risk of reoffending, but it’s through the identification of individuals’ issues and accompanying needs,” Anderson stressed.

“That’s the hardest part: helping them identify that they’re being impacted,” said Fidel Chagolla, an organizer for the Riverside chapter of All of Us or None, a social justice organization. Upon release, Chagolla said, people that have been incarcerated struggle to meet “their basic necessities.”

Formerly incarcerated himself, Chagolla had difficulty finding stable housing and a job upon reentry. With support from Project Rebound at University of California, Riverside, Chagolla earned a sociology degree and decided to get involved in community organizations that support formerly incarcerated people.

In Chagolla’s role with All of Us or None, he partners with community organizations who can provide services and resources for formerly imprisoned persons, like Starting Over, Inc., a nonprofit that operates in Riverside and Los Angeles counties, and provides transitional housing, employment support and peer support.

Founded by Vonya Quarles in 2009, Starting Over uses an approach to reentry that both provides services and encourages clients to get involved.

Quarles employs formerly incarcerated people who have experience with the prison and criminal justice systems and are equipped to support others with reentry. continued on page 18

borrower received a Pell Grant, the borrower could have up to a total of $20,000 of debt canceled.

Biden also extended the pause on student loan repayment, interest, and collections through December 31, 2022.

Last year, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) launched a limited-time PSLF Waiver opportunity that runs through October 31.

It allows eligible borrowers to receive credit for past student loan payments that would otherwise not qualify under the PSLF program.

ED improved the PSLF program in response to a lawsuit and years-long advocacy by a number of state attorneys general and others urging ED to fix the broken program.

Following resolution of the lawsuit, AG Bonta has continued to advocate for changes to the PSLF program. The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is taking part in the California Student Loan Debt Challenge to raise awareness about the PSLF program to help DOJ employees’

access loan forgiveness.

“On behalf of the more than 5,000 public servants at the California Department of Justice, I’m proud to take the California Student Debt Challenge,” AG Bonta said. “Our public servants work day-in and day-out on behalf of the people of California as our nurses, teachers, first responders, state workers, and more. I urge you to take advantage of the new PSLF Limited Waiver Opportunity before the October 31 deadline.”

California ranks No.13 among states on student loan debt with borrowers owing an average of $37,084. California’s student loan debt adds up to $141.8 billion, the largest amount of any state.

According to EDI, student loan debt statistics show tremendous disparities among racial and ethnic groups.

African American college graduates owe an average of $25,000 more debt than their White counterparts. Four years after graduation, 48%

of Black students owe an average of 12.5% more than they borrowed.

Black student borrowers are the most likely to struggle financially due to student loan debt, with 29% making monthly payments of $350 or more. About 3% of California borrowers owe more than $200,000 and nearly 10% of the state’s population have student loan debt.

The moratorium on federal student loan payments expired on August 31. A total of 43 million Americans owe student loan debt worth $1.6 trillion, federal data shows.

“Thankfully now, there are federal and state programs that can play a critical role in reducing or eliminating student debt altogether,” Mia Bonta said. “Now we have this last opportunity to spread awareness about these programs.

Beyond that, we have to simplify the application process and create a better coordinated, outreach program between institutions of higher learning, continued on page 14

the government, and the private sector.”

Under the limited PSLF waiver rules, any past periods of repayment count as a qualifying payment, regardless of loan type, repayment plan, or whether or not the borrower made a payment, or if the payment was made in full or on time.

Each borrower needs to work for a qualifying employer, private or non-profit. The Temporary change applies to borrowers with Direct Loans, those who have already consolidated into the Direct Loan Program, and those who consolidate into the Direct Loan Program by Oct. 31, 2022.

There are two requirements in order to receive additional qualifying payments: • Full-time employment requires that borrowers must have worked full-time for a qualifying employer during the prior periods of repayment.

They receive credit only for periods of repayment after October 1, 2007, which is when the PSLF program began.

• Loan consolidation requires that borrowers with Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL)

Program loans, Federal Perkins Loans, or other types of federal student loans that are not Direct Loans must consolidate those loans into the Direct Loan program by October 31, 2022.

If the borrower had Direct Loans and had PSLF employment certified, ED will award additional payments without further action.

If necessary, Federal Student Aid may contact the borrower to certify additional months of employment.

An employer needs to be a governmental organization, a 501(c)(3) organization, or a not-for-profit organization that provides a designated public service in order to qualify for PSLF under normal rules and the Limited PSLF Waiver.

“My team has advocated for years for the Department of Education to fix this broken program, and with the recent changes under the Biden Administration, Californians are finally beginning to receive relief,” AG Bonta stated.

“In so many communities nationwide, jails act as reception centers for those experiencing poverty, mental health crises, or substance use disorders. Just a few days ago, Representative Alexandria OcasioCortez referred to jails as ‘garbage bins’ for human beings.”

- Prison Policy Initiative

Michael Jurado, who was released from prison after 31 years in 2017, met Quarles after he successfully completed a reentry program in San Diego. In an interview, Jurado lamented that the system as it exists now just doesn’t work.

“It’s like they’re setting you up for failure,” he says.

Community organizations like All of Us or None and Starting Over, fill the gap left by state programs’ lack of funding, resources and capacity. While nonprofit organizations are also under-funded and under-resourced, research shows that they have better outcomes.

Community-based programs recognize the importance of a holistic approach to reentry — providing food, housing, rehabilitative services and counseling while simultaneously rebuilding community and family ties.

“Enter at your own risk” A successful reentry process is critical for

the health of communities, especially Black and Brown communities disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system and mass incarceration. Reentry services are pivotal in helping formerly incarcerated individuals get their lives back on track. And, setting these people up for success means safer, more stable communities for them and their families.

We’ll take a multi-faceted look at the people and processes of reentry in California: Michael Jurado dedicates his time to supporting other formerly incarcerated people and others who’ve been impacted by the criminal justice system; Community-based organizations are utilizing a new “participatory defense model” to support and educate people facing criminal charges and their families; and SB 354, a new law which helps keep more kids out of foster care by making it easier for formerly incarcerated individuals (who weren’t convicted of crimes against children) to take custody of a family member’s minor child or a child under 18 in their care.

no clear definition of what determines an adequate safety check. State guidelines only require that safety checks be “conducted at least hourly through direct visual observation”.

The average number of people who have died in jails across the state increased from 130 in 2006 to 156 in 2020 and continue to rise. Were these the deaths of dogs and cats in a local animal shelter people would be apoplectic. It is chilling to think we live in a nation, a state, a county, a community that cares less about the lives of human beings than it does about cats and dogs. Remember, most of the individuals in our jail facilities are awaiting trial because they cannot afford the cost of their bail.

Problems related to the deaths of incarcerated individuals do not end with their demise. Speaking specifically about San Diego County the auditors noted, “The department’s reviews of in‑custody deaths have been insufficient and have not consistently led to significant corrective action related to preventing deaths.” The same could be the case in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties however getting access to documents detailing these investigations to understand exactly what is happening locally may be challenging.

In February, the state auditor called on the legislature take action and make meaningful changes to ensure the safety of individuals held in county jail facilities. We are waiting.

In the meantime, we must come to grips with the reality that locking people up is not the solution to the persistent and debilitating problems of alcohol and drug addiction, mental health frailties and homelessness.

Put more money in social programs and less in jails. This can help people live rather than incarcerating them and putting their lives in jeopardy.

Of course this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

end of the semester or year, without officially characterizing the discipline as a suspension.

African-American students represented 20.8% of students in the district but accounted for 37.3% of “home custody removals,” while white students accounted for 5.1% of such removals and 8.0% of enrollment.

Pre-expulsion contracts were another form of discipline that was not listed in the “disciplinary matrix” but was often used as a form of discipline that disproportionately affected AfricanAmerican students.

Another disparate finding was that African- American students accounted for 50.2% of the pre-expulsion contracts, more than 3.7 times their white counterparts.

The report appears to indicate Victor Valley Union High School District made liberal use of rules put in place to keep students in school which resulted in what appears to be personal bias or unconscious racism against AfricanAmerican students in school.

Overall, the report highlighted how the district performed poorly compared to other districts in the state relative to the administration of discipline.

According to California Department of Education data, VVUHSD suspended students approximately 60% more than the average high school district in California.

According to the California Department of Education(CDE), the expulsion rate for the district is almost three times the state’s average, and the district expulsion rate for AfricanAmerican students was about two-and-a-half times the expulsion rate for African-American students statewide.

School to Prison Pipeline in California “It's very powerful to show the discrimination against particularly Black students because they are over disciplined the most out of any group,” Leung said. But I want to caution that this goes well beyond Victorville. In school

in response to the OCR report, “We are bringing in two consultants. One that's going to really look at that whole discipline matrix. Just in terms of discipline across the district, how that's been done. We're making sure that our administrators and secretaries are getting trained in the tracking system, the record-keeping part of it.”

Momon worked in the VVUHSD for 28 years, and he worked as superintendent of the school district for four years before he retired in 2014. He returned to the district in March as a consultant, and when the previous superintendent Ron Williams retired earlier this year, he stepped in as acting superintendent.

Although Carl J. Coles was appointed superintendent effective September 1, Momon will stay in his current role until December to help with the transition.

OCR and the VVUHSD agreed to a 13-point plan to fix the current damaged system and remedy the harm done to (source: www2.ed.gov) African-American students. districts across the county and the state, you will find the same kinds of disparities … We hope that the Office of Civil Rights and state agencies … try to improve conditions in other school districts as well because it's not isolated.

This is actually a very good example of what's going on everywhere.”

In California, African-American students were nine times more likely to be in the juvenile system than their white counterparts, according to data collected in 2019 by the Sentencing Project.

“Forty-one percent of youths in placement are Black, even though Black Americans comprise only 15% of all youth across the United States,” according to the Sentencing Project.
