“...one of the three, U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton of Sacramento, asked recently, ‘In the long run, does it make any difference to public safety if we release them 60 days earlier?’”

Is that all they're talking about doing? Releasing some inmates 60 days early to alleviate overcrowding? We do that all the time in my state, and often people will be released a lot more than just sixty days early. Prison and jail overcrowding has gotten so bad that most people sentenced to prison remain on the streets for several months before they actually have to go serve their sentences. They have to wait for prison beds to come available and there is no room in the jails to keep them while they wait so all but a few of them will be allowed to stay out on “reporting bonds.”

And the idiots of California are unarmed against the soon-to-be released criminals.
Sad to live in the hell hole of Kalipornia.
