Over the last decade, California has led the nation in reducing its prison population.
The state has shortened sentences and diverted some offenders to the counties for incarceration and supervision, transforming California’s criminal justice system into what supporters hope will become a humane model around the country.

You are an outlaw state now. You are refusing to obey federal immigration laws. You are importing criminals into your state from other countries. You will not be able to build enough prisons to accommodate all the criminals, both foreign and domestic, within your borders, and your legal citizens will suffer.
