The California Conditional Release Program promotes public safety and successful reintegration of patients within the community through effective, comprehensive, and standardized outpatient treatment and supervision. CONREP is a distinctive program, focused on treating unique forensic populations (i.e., people paroled with mental disorders, found not guilty by reason of insanity, or found incompetent to stand trial) while ensuring community safety through treatment and monitoring, and gradual patient reintegration.
