Does section 845, subdivision (b) of the California Civil Code provide immunity from prosecution under Section 845.8?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Whitcombe v. County of Yolo, 141 Cal.Rptr. 189, 73 Cal.App.3d 698 (Cal. App. 1977):

We recognize that section 845, subdivision (b), unlike 845.8, subdivision (a), is not limited to specific determinations or acts by public employees following which there may be a continuing relationship between the public entity and appellants warranting liability. Nevertheless, in light of White v. Towers (1951) 37 Cal.2d 727, 235 P.2d 209, we believe the court's general reflections on the scope of immunity provisions in the field of correctional and police activities equally persuasive in the case before us.
