SUBJECT: Summary of Actions Taken to Address Issues Identified In The County's Correctional System

Over the course of the past four months a great deal of focus has been placed on Santa Clara County’s Correctional system. While much has been reported in the press, we believe it will be informative for all to step back and provide some context and a full accounting of the actions taken by the County to address issues that have been discussed for longer than the past four months.
