The Board of Prison Terms is focusing its efforts on parolees with serious and violent priors and gang members who violate any condition of his or her parole, rather than waiting for these parolees to commit a new felony.�³⁷

An unintended but positive consequence of �Three Strikes� has been the impact on parolees leaving the state. More California parolees are now leaving the state than parolees from other jurisdictions entering California. This striking turnaround started in 1994. It was the first time more parolees left the state than entered since 1976. This trend has continued and in 1997 more than 1,000 net parolees left California.³⁸
