In a continued effort to make the inmates happier about being in prison, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has implemented more terminology changes.
These changes to Title 15 under OAL Matter 2025-0123-03 are in accordance with the California Model changes intended to make inmates to feel better while incarcerated.
CDCR already changed:
“inmate” is now “incarcerated Person”
“parolee” is now “supervised Person”
The new changes are:
“offender” is now “incarcerated person”
“interstate offenders” are now “supervised persons”
Security Threat Group definition used to include “any offender…”, now it is “any person…”
“nonviolent felony offenders” are now “persons convicted of nonviolent felony offenses”
“youth offender” is now “incarcerated youth”
Most interesting is the name of the prison management software CDCR uses for most prison operations. The software which used to be called “Stategic Offender Management System (SOMS)” is to be re-branded to “Strategic Oversight Management System”.
We feel for the officers who are going to be issued report clarifications to change the terminology in incident reports and rules violation reports.

This state is sooooo full of progressive BS it’s almost like the powers at the top are doing their best to get rid of prisons by just renaming everything…you get in trouble now if you don’t use these BS terms. Wait till the word “Prison” is finally renamed to “secured living facility” or “post-modern Gotico Angioiano style homes”…This people are f*cking idiots on another level!
Newsom and liberals doing the best/most they can to ruin this state. It just looks harder and harder to see this state recovering from this demonic democrat possession.
At least “Incarcerated Person” is better than what it was going to be: Mental health was pushing hard for inmates to be called “Justice Involved Person”. You will see this in some early memos and is still used in some mental health reports. CDCR was going forward with “Justice Involved Person” until the initials started to show up in some memos. I guess CDCR was smart enough to not wand “JIP” being used over and over in reports.
Instead of worrying about what to call inmates, lets call them by what they did: “Hey child rapist, come to the office.” or, “Hey family murdering scumbag, you got mail.”
