Gov. Jerry Brown has appointed Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez to a seat on the 13-member California Board of State and Community Corrections.

The move, if approved by the California Senate, would give Kern County a say in how the state handles issues like jail and prison operations, the training of corrections and probation officers, and the state’s sweeping prison realignment program.

Perez said she was contacted by Brown’s office about the position and met with his staff.

She said she talked about the work that Kern County’s law enforcement leaders are doing in implementing prison realignment and focusing on efforts to rehabilitate inmates and help them stay out of a cell.

Perez said she will take her place on the board next month and hold the position until confirmation hearings next year.
