Imprisonment is a punishment... we must at least try to make it so they will not end up in the system again.

So what's the diff if the 'rehab' effort (with questionable results, btw) takes place in or out-of-state????

Your not in CA, so you don't know that the state is being sued by prisoner rights groups (and others) out here due to the over crowding situation.

The legislature won't spend social program bucks for new prison facilities, so I personally thought this was a novel idea....

But this union-instigated lawsuit places Arnie in a no-win position.

The entities profiting from CA prisoner incareration are the attorneys.

There is no easy solution to this. Either California, the state with the burden of these prisoners, properly even to the point of building new prisons or California decides which crimes it will not incarcerate as punishment.

The union and the prisoner rights groups have a point. California can not shuffle this responsibility to someone somewhere else, it is California's burden alone.

I am certainly not pro criminal. I am neither pro or anti-union.
