The San Diego County District Attorney's Office was among the presenters at a statewide conference beginning Monday aimed at reducing recidivism and helping prisoners successfully re-enter their communities upon release. The three-day conference -- sponsored by Prison Fellowship, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the San Diego Re- Entry Roundtable -- features workshops addressing practical barriers to re- integration, cultivating collaborative relationships and developing strategies to reduce recidivism and restore prisoners to their families and communities.

About 8 p.m. Friday, an unidentified assailant came up behind a woman as she walked on a path just west of UCSD's Geisel Library, pulled a paper bag down over her head and tried to drag her away. The victim was able to break free and run to safety, according to a bulletin issued by Orville King, chief of the university's police department.
