More argument, to simply contract out prisoners to facilities in other states. No $100000/year unionized prison guards or multi-million dollar facilities would be needed that way.
Perhaps Sheriff Joe in Phoenix, could get taxpayers more for their money, by incarcerating 10,000 California inmates (including many illegal aliens) in tents each Summer out in the Arizona desert.
Inmates would receive their entitlements: Pink underwear, green bologna, and work on a chain gang clearing roadsides (for exercise and fresh air).
