Paper Commitment

A California prison sentence served in County jail. Following completion of the term, the offender is transported to a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) Reception Center, assigned a CDCR Number, and released on parole. A Paper Commitment suggests that the offender received favorable treatment from the District Attorney's Office.

Slim: Hey homey! That fool Sneaky just got released from jail!

Zo: What? That cat was caught up in a murder case!

Slim: Sneaky got out on a Paper Commitment. Plead to being an accessory. Got time served.

Zo: Uh huh. Sneaky's been tellin'.

Slim: Cuz there's no way a bitchmade rat witness like him gets a Paper Commitment in a murder case without signin' some statements.
