SACRAMENTO (AP) - Proposals to release some nonviolent and elderly prisoners early have emerged in California and other states confronting massive budget shortfalls.

has suggested shortening the prison stays of some elderly and nonviolent prisoners HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
Between criminals on the street and increased taxes that won't even start to erase the state's debt, perhaps I should stay away from Kalifornia and remain in exile for a bit longer..
Meega, Nala Kweesta!!!!

61 percent are considered nonviolent offenders Should nonviolent people really be in prison? I believe not. Locking up nonviolent people simply leaves them ripe for brutalization, is likely to make them violent, and is expensive. What do you all think?
To: NormsRevenge
They could clean California prisons of a very large percentage of prisoners if they would deport the illegal aliens that reside there at the expense of California taxpayers.
To: JeanS
Thanks. Looks like a trend could be developing. It's nothing new really...
To: NormsRevenge
It doesn't really matter that much - we've already been inflicted with "halfway houses" in our neighborhoods. We have no way of knowing whether or not these are just mentally deranged people, or whether they're violent offenders.
To: NormsRevenge
Yeah...and don't forget to turn-in all of your "assault weapons". We wouldn't want them to fall into the hands of all of those released felons.
Don't worry, pretty soon CA will resemble North Korea (minus the nuclear reactors...not green enough).

Releasing prisoners is a favorite tactic of communist's. Unbelelieveable, Dufus is a MORON !!

Trust me, you don't know what it's like to be stuck on an island with no large cities.
I have this urge to back up sewers, reverse street signs, and steal left shoes...
THANKS! Meega, Nala Kweesta!
To: NormsRevenge
Yeah.
The Gray Dork will threaten to eliminate all the essential services first.
I double dare you dork!
You think you have troubles now...
