In City of Susanville v. Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 377, the Court wrote: "After Loren Herzog completed his sentence for voluntary manslaughter and accessory to three murders, California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Department) was faced with the onerous and thankless task of finding a suitable parole placement for him, made all the more difficult by statutory restrictions on where he could live and by public outcry against placement anywhere. Ultimately, the Department provided Herzog a trailer located within a fenced-in compound on the grounds of High Desert State Prison and imposed severe restrictions on his movement. The City of Susanville and the County of Lassen filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to remove Herzog. The trial court ruled that his placement in Lassen County was not in the best interests of the public and ordered the Department to transfer Herzog out of Lassen County forthwith." (City of Susanville, supra, 204 Cal.App.4th at p. 380.) Although Herzog had died by the time we decided the case, we confronted the important and recurring issues the case presented because "the statutory restrictions imposed upon the placement of parolees, along with the public outcry that inevitably attends the placement of high profile parolees, assure that the issues will arise again."
