I’ll cross my fingers that what happens in California, stays in California.

?
Government could spend to create jobs building new jails so the prison guard union could add more members and conservatives would be happy to see criminals serve out their sentences.
Seems to me that both sides would get something out of it but I guess it is a California thing.

Dopers.
Then non violent second offenders.
I hope, anyway.

needless suffering and death" had resulted from putting too many inmates into facilities that cannot hold them in decent conditions. Needless suffering and death will be the result of this decision! And it won't be the death of the inmates either - it'll be innocents who pay the price. Idiotic. Completely idiotic.

Wondering how they will prioritize the list for release.By skin color. The lighter skinned you are, the longer you wait.
Don't need to wait for the pic, I've added it below myself.

This seems like a pretty awful decision. Still California has had over crowding problems for quite some time now. Sounds like they are going to have to bite the bullet and build more prisons. They’ll just have to cut some of their wasteful social programs to actually keep people locked up.
To: library user
“........saying that “needless suffering and death....”
So then, it is the opinion of the high court that the “needless suffering and death” should be moved into our neighborhoods.
Such a release in absolutely insane.

Do you suppose this will have any impact on gun sales in California over the next few weeks? Ammunition? Up or down? Hmmm. Let me think....

As a point of fact, almost 50 percent of the prison population is Black, but they constitute only 13 percent of the general population. Libs often use this as evidence that we are a racist society. I guess it's impossible that Blacks commit relatively more crimes than non-Blacks.

LMAO!!
They’ll be returning to the same Ubama-voting neighborhoods they came from.
Good luck to those people.

“as many as 54 prisoners share a single toilet.”
I do not see prisoner release as a solution but this is not reasonable.
The state can install a few hundred toilets. They don’t have to be deluxe.

How many of those in the California prison system are illegals? I propose they start by deporting ALL of them FIRST. That should cut the number down considerably!

For the rest all it takes is a couple tent cities and a semi load of pink underwear. Problem solved.
