Uh, what the hell? California doesn't have the room so we just fling wide the gates and let them out? Frankly I'd like to see them in leg irons breaking rock in the hot sun, picking the crops that the illegals do now, and other forms of hard, hot and exhausting labor. They're in prison to be punished but instead they work out in gyms, watch tv, join gangs, and get hooked on drugs. Gee, if they were actually worked hard they wouldn't have time for any of that country club crap. latimesblogs.latimes.com/comments_blog/2009/02/federal-judges.html |

What do they care? Not like they have to live with the results.
That said, I have a simple plan to immediately reduce the CDCR inmate population by a thousand or so. Take every single person sitting on death row and execute them. Right now. A pistol shot to the back of the head and "NEXT!". Starting with the worthless SOBs that have been sitting there for twenty years or more and working forward.
Since that is, unfortunately, not realistic one hopes that the state would evaluate records and release the non-violents. The first career armed robber that gets an early out and within weeks is capering and kills someone, their honors are going to look really, really stupid.
But again... it's not like they have to live with the results of their actions.

So we're going to have the prisoners freed and on the move. Now the state is going to stop paying rent for the sex offenders (didn't realize taxpayers were paying this too) so the sicko's are going to be on the move and just you watch, this is their chance to move and fall out from under the watchful eye of the system. Just long enough for them to move into some apartment right next to a school or childcare facility or woman's gym.
BTW, TBD - I agree with your solution for those on death row. It's time the taxpayers recoup some of our investment and free up some cash for the state. They've sat in their cells long enough watching Oprah and Springer on my dime.

According to the article, they want to set free the prisoners with medical or mental health needs. Hhhmm, I'd say if they are in prison, they were mental to begin with. Law enforcement down and soon to be less, what choice does the average law-abiding citizen have?
If they are emptying prisons, it seems most likely they will not be so anxious to fill them up again. Does this mean, law abiding citizens can take the law into their own hands?

Of course it doesn't. If we defend ourselves in our homes and places of business we will likely be arrested... just as we are now when we have to.

The funny thing is that Dick Morris, the former Clinton adviser, predicted this would happen if Obama or Hillary won the Presidency. Page 4, paragraph 4 of the Introduction of the Book Fleeced.

San Francisco is already over run with ex loony-bin tenants, what's several thousand more? I'm curious where they think they'll put these people once they're released? With the looming budget cuts, I can't imagine the state will put them somewhere else in the system.
