VIDEO: You're paying rent and rehab for parolees — but California isn't tracking if your money is helping (Extended Cut)

In collaboration with our CalMatters reporting partners, this year-long investigation reveals, in part:

• A $100 million-a-year rehabilitation program for former California prisoners grew with little oversight from the state corrections agency.
• The state doesn't collect data on how many STOP parolees find jobs – or how many returned to prison for another crime.
• The corrections department struggled to say where, or even how many, former inmates were being housed.
• Fewer than half of those inmates completed even one of the services offered to them after release.
• Some of the non-profits running re-entry homes are operating with suspended business licenses or revoked non-profit status.
