For decades, California's criminal justice policies ensured that murderers and others sentenced to life, with the possibility of parole, could expect to die in prison. And most of the time, they did.
Since Gov. Jerry Brown assumed office in January 2011, a record number of inmates with life sentences are winning parole. Brown has allowed the release of nearly 1,400 lifers, while going along with the parole board about 82 percent of the time.

Should be fun for the parents of young children in California... knowing the most horrible are being freed to prey on them and their children.

A life sentence in CA has the same meaning as a death sentence.

Who votes in Democrats? That absolute sewer of a state has voting laws that encourage liberal scum to vote five and six times in an election. It's not about conservatives vs. scumbags.
There's no way conservatives can win if they only get one vote to the scum's six votes.

There is another solution:
Bring back the death penalty and limit the time on death row to 12 months.

If you’re ever victimized by one of Brown’s fellow progressives, you or your survivors sue the living hell out of him and the state.

Step #1, get rid of death penalty claiming that murderers will never see daylight again.
Step #2, free the murderers and give them the vote.

Charles Mason, didn’t he invent the Mason jar? Or was he the builder of those Mason’ic lodges?
