There's a very easy solution for that problem. Keep the permanent Death Row population at 10. One moves in...one moves out.
How many people do you want to live on death row?
What, oh what, could we possibly do to solve this problem? Such a puzzle, such a confounding conundrum. Oh, how I am bothered and bewildered...
The Guard’s union is one of the most powerful in the state. That has to cost.
They should be following the court judgement. Execute. Waiting on death row for 15 years is crazy.
Thats too funny. My dad said that 40 years ago. Just keep Whackin’ ‘em!
GET RID OF THE INVENTORY!
Only in the wacky world of the left does death mean life, waiting for death in relative comfort...

Euthanasia would be a cost effective means of bringing down the cost. It’s not like society would be better with these vermin around.
“”This is a giant black hole,” said Sen. Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, chairwoman of the Senate public safety committee.
That’s racist!!
...yep, that’s a choice of words that only a Democrat could get away with.
So execute their sentences already.
How many people has Calinfornia executed since the death penalty was reinstated? 13.... yet there are at least 667 inmates on death row.
In that same time period, 56 have died without being put to death. 14 by suicide (more than actually executed).
The problem is - capitol punishment is not utilized as it was designed. Cases almost always drag out for over a decade - through appeals, and activist intervention...
Something has to be done. The death penalty has little sting when the chances are better that you will die of old age or suicide before the state ever gets around to actually ending your life.
Well then kill the POS that are waiting to die. End the endless appeals and just kill them. Simple huh?
You will know that the liberal orgy is over in CA when they empty out that jail by executing the prisoners.
“This is a giant black hole,” said Sen. Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, chairwoman of the Senate public safety committee. “It’s a never-ending gravitational force that’ll continue to suck away money that should be spent on local government, education, health and human services and higher education.”
So what is she proposing to do about it? Let them go?
