Does anyone here know what percentage of the CA prison population is (are?) illegal immigrants? Seems to me I read it was a big number.

If so, stopping illegals would, over time, significantly reduce the prison population.

Also, limit 3 strikes law to violent crimes (I prefer 2 strikes), force nonviolent prisoners to learn & work at a trade prior to release, & Stop the insane War on Drugs.

I don’t know that number but it would definitely be interesting to find out. I do know that America has more people in prison than any other country in the world. Not sure how it’s calculated (percentage of population or just pure number of people?) but Koppel mentions it in the video that’s on the original site.

Idea! Send the illegals back to jails in their home countries, & pay the local authorities somewhat less than $43k/yr per prisoner to jail them. I’ll bet they’ll take them for way less than $43k, & they wont be inclined to let them go as they will lose money. We, of course, will trust, but verify, before payment.
