When is the Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS) vs. Parole assessment done?

Before you are released from prison, a correctional counselor will screen your case and decide whether to refer you to state parole or to PRCS.[319] The correctional counselor should start this screening process at least 180 days prior to your calculated release date.[320] The CDCR Form 611, “Release Program Study,” (see Appendix S, PG. 297) is used to determine whether you will be eligible for PRCS after release.[321]
