"Under Gov. Jerry Brown\u0092s proposed budget, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations will be cut by about $1.1 billion.The department plans to eliminate the Department of Juvenile Justice and reduce the number of women in prisons.The CDCR also will lose more positions than any other department.CDCR officials told KCRA 3 on Friday most of those positions are currently empty, and many of the people in the filled positions will be offered jobs at other facilities.The department said under the proposed budget, it would no longer accept juvenile offenders starting Jan. 1, 2013.The juveniles currently in the system would serve out the sentences and the system would be shut down.Juvenile offenders would be handled on a local level by counties and cities.The CDCR also hopes to expand its alternative custody programs for women offenders.Under the proposed budget, more women would be allowed to serve out their sentences in community rehabilitation programs instead of prison.  Currently, female adult prisoners with a prior offense are eligible for alternative custody."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
