30,00 prison guards? Wow. That probably doesn’t include federal, county and city guards in California. I wonder how many guards we have across this country because people can’t obey laws.
So as it happens I was in California the past two weeks and there was some news about a proposal by Brown to move a significant number of inmates from state prisons to county lock-ups to help the budget. Prisons are cheaper to run if you have no prisoners, just guards to pay.
