Calif. to Transfer Inmates Out of State(Deport Incarcerated Illegals!)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California will begin shipping thousands of inmates to prisons in four other states next month at a cost of more than $51 million a year, corrections officials said Friday.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared an emergency this month to speed up the no-bid contracts with two private companies. He said the transfers are needed to ease crowding in the nation's largest prison system, where more than 172,000 inmates are crowded into space designed for about 100,000, forcing some inmates to sleep in gymnasiums and auditoriums.

The GEO Group Inc. of Florida will be paid an estimated $28.7 million a year to house as many as 1,260 inmates at its New Castle Correctional Facility in Indiana.

Tennessee-based Correctional Corporation of America will be paid a projected $22.9 million annually to house as many as 1,000 inmates at four prisons in Arizona, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

All 2,260 medium-security inmates are to be moved by March under the contracts, signed late Thursday. California prisons had been projected to run out of even makeshift beds by next August, but the transfers will free space until June 2008, the corrections department said.

The companies will be paid $63 a day for each inmate, cheaper than they can be housed in California prisons or jails. But that's still an added cost for taxpayers who are already paying to operate state prisons.

"It's not a cost savings; it's cost effective. It's a good price," said Oscar Hidalgo, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Public employee unions said it is cheaper to send inmates out of state because the contracts let private companies reject inmates who have caused trouble or have mental or physical problems.

The dirty little secret is that a third of the incarcerated population in America are illegal aliens. Deport them all and voila; all the jails and prisons in America are suddenly left with open cells that can be filled with AMERICAN criminals.

Of course we have to secure the borders before we can even think about deporting the incarcerated illegals. But just think of all the American criminals including child molesters that could be taken off the streets if we deported the incarcerated illegals.

Cost effective. Good price.

At a cost of less than 23K a year per prisoner, it is cheaper than incarcerating them in CA. But all we are doing in CA is passing our problems off on other states.

Solve the present problem, deport the incarcerated illegals!

The violent ones would just come back (in effect you would be setting them free). We need a place to dump them -- like an island with a killing zone around it and just throw them in and let them eat each other. Alternately you could make a policy that if they ever came back they would be automatically subject to a death sentence. You need something strong to dissuade them from ever coming back.

No doubt libtards would shriek at such ideas, and the only way to make them get their heads out would be to house the scum in THEIR homes (or my proposed Triple Liberal Tax).

Maybe sentences of 'Hard Labor' ??? Put all of them to work digging the moat on the Southern border.....

[kellynla]

If they are released to the foreign authorities;
they would be their responsibility. Now if other countries want them released, which I doubt, then that's their problem.
Like I said earlier, we must secure our borders before we can even think about deporting the incarcerated illegals.
But why should we be burdened with incarcerating other countries' criminals!!!

Someone's up early ping...

[TADSLOS]

Kinda like splitting up and moving a portion of your overpopulated ant farm from one room of the house to the other to keep them all under a sealed roof, hoping you won't spill it along the way.

[Mikey_1962]

They are just committing crimes that Americans won't commit.

[Brilliant]

Oh, I get it... They can't treat criminals the way they should be treated because this is California. So they are going to send them to "less civilized" states that will give them what they deserve.



But don't you think the Europeans will object on humanitarian grounds?

[JimRed]

Of course we have to secure the borders before we can even think about deporting the incarcerated illegals.

Correct. Until the Wall is built, they'll be back, but FREE!

The dirty little secret is that as things are now, deport them and they'll be back to commit more crimes. We're safer with these thugs in our jails.

Secure the borders first.

Death penalty ought to be applied liberally.

From the L. A Times

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County (L. A. County has 10
million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was
because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a
green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal
aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are
illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to
illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by
taxpayers.

5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers
are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living
in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are
most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9
million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L. A. County).

(All 10 from the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29%
are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and
over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.

The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a
NET(after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year,
[Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University].

The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for
the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

If they can come to this country to raise Hell and march by the
thousands, Why can't they take charge over the corruption in their own
country? We are fools for letting this continue

[gaijin]

Make Catalina Island a set-aside for illegal aliens.

Make it like, "Escape from New York City" --just drop them off, and let them fend for themselves.

They chose to live illegally, right? So be it...
