The Social Security Administration (SSA) issued an estimated $1 million in improper payments between 2000 and 2010 to people who were in prison, according to an Office of Inspector General (OIG) Report entitled Special Disability Workload Payments Made to Incarcerated Beneficiaries.
The investigation over the payments began after the SSA discovered certain beneficiaries were not receiving their disability insurance (DI) checks.
As the report states, “Studies SSA conducted identified SSI recipients who had their entitlement based on applications before January 1, 2000, and appeared to be insured for, but were not receiving, DI benefits. The Agency categorized these individuals as SDW cases. As of September 30, 2010, SSA reported a total estimated SDW liability of $173 million due the public.” …

Socialist Security Administration did this? Was it on purpose to specific like-minded criminals? Are any, even bumbling unaccountable bureaucrats (useful idiot socialists) held accountable?
Perhaps chairman I$$A can get to the bottom of this mess.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Well, the other side of this is that many may have been career criminals, and, being in prison, they can no longer work.
A story from the early 90s. I worked at a Cal Youth Authority facility in ChinoCA where an inmate received a monthly SSA check. He was incarcerated for killing his parents. Check was credited to his account and used for canteen purchases etc.
Oh, he qualified for a check because he was an orphan. A sharp Accounting Asst, caught it and took the check to the Superintendent. He sent it onto Sacramento. Two weeks later there was a regulation changed prohibiting those type of checks.
Fastest moving government I saw since Pearl Harbor (or heard about it).
Only $1 million? I thought it was much higher than that.
I was at San Quentin from 88 to 90, and Solano in Vacaville, from 90 to 2013. I actually liked San Quentin better, but I cut a 50 mile one way commute down to 6 miles.

you must have been one of the first in the new Solano.
I retired as Asst Super in 98. Heart attack.
Did consulting in 15 states on emer preparedness. Got to see a lot of prisons around the country, but never been in the Q.
One of our secretaries became a CO and was a LT at Vacavile, Rita Montez. Don’t know which facility.
Best wishes.
PS Used to go to the bay area a lot, baseball tickets. Lived in Sacramento. Stopped at George’s Orange in Dixon by the freeway for a burrito on more than 1 occasion.
She was at Solano. It opened in 84, the year I returned from Germany to Travis AFB. We had quite a few officers who were secretaries, cooks, free staff. I never promoted, because I was a supervisor in the Air Force for 15 years, and wanted no part of it. All but two of the retired GIs I knew, never promoted. Most of the supervisors could not manage their way out of a paper bag, but some were very good. Solano started as CMF South, but the name was changed later. We always called it Camp Snoopy. Not too much happened, because it was kind of designated by the inmates as the money making facility. On visiting days, I was told that lots of physical, green $100 dollar bills changed hands in the parking lots, from people paying for all the contraband that was supposed to be brought in. The northerners and southerners had some problems, but not like other joints. Life goes on. I retired in Sept last year.
My ex worked at 1st Northern Bank in Dixon. Used to go to Cattleman's in Dixon. My son is a Junior at Sac State. Because of the cost of 2 ex's, I could not afford to live in California any more, so I moved about 6,000 miles away.
Good grief. What did you do?
Time off for good behavior?
Just imagine the amount of crimes if they had used 100% and not Hierarchical Counted crimes!
Probation & Parolee’s
https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/ppvsp91.txt
This is an older study as there are no newer ones, this gives you a big idea of just how many additional early release of criminals to parole and probation cause. In 1991, 45% of State prisoners were persons who, at the time they
committed their offense, were under conditional supervision in the community—either on probation or on parole. They then committed an additional 74,400 new crimes. Their original crimes add up to 25,900. The NEW crimes FAR out ceded their REPEAT CRIMES.
Based on the offense that brought them to prison, the 162,000 probation violators committed at least 6,400 murders, 7,400 rapes, 10,400 assaults, and 17,000 robberies, while under supervision in the community an
average of 17 months.
Based on the offense that brought parolees back to prison, these 156,000 offenders committed at least 6,800 murders, 5,500 rapes, 8,800 assaults, and 22,500 robberies, while under supervision in the community an average of 13 months.
Word of caution, crime is not counted accurately. More of our governments fuzzy math tricks. It is Hierarchical Counted, only the most serious crime is counted if there were actually 4 crimes committed at the time. Kidnap, rape, rob then kill a person, only the murder counts. Rest flushed down the toilet.
NEWEST one, but harder to pick the stats out.
Recidivism

These offenders had accumulated 4.1 million arrest charges before their most recent imprisonment and another 744,000 charges within 3 years of release.
These are also good ammo.

More guns less crime

best wishes!
CYA had a fairly good rep for management around the state and CDC did not; starting with the dept of finance and going down. Ironically CDC took over the CYA about ten years ago.
Retired and in Oceanside living the life. My wife is a retired parole agent.
Now were real estate brokers. Have to do something.
Thanks. Those were the days, my FRiend.
Congrats on your retirement. Thanks for serving (in many capacities) and continuing to serve on this forum.
WOW! Thanks, GailA. OUTSTANDING, informative, educational post.
