Former Gov. George Deukmejian will chair an independent review panel charged with finding ways to "turn around the crisis of confidence" in California's youth and adult correctional systems, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday.

Panel members said they plan a report by June, including recommendations on prison closures and the future of San Quentin, the state's oldest prison that sits on prime development land.

Critics noted "Iron Duke" Deukmejian, who held office from 1983-91, helped build the state's prison system into the nation's largest during a law-and-order administration.

Only Nixon could go to China.

Duke, Pete and Gray are responsible for giving the union more control than they should have, allowing corrupt and incompetent managers to stay in high level positions and ignoring the pervasive scandals.

I think Ahnold wants to reduce the number of employees which will be hard unless you close some prisons. At least Ahnold did not take money from public employee unions. But recently he appointed a CDC warden to be director and another manager as agency secretary. Should have done nationwide talent hunt and brought in an outsider.
