Reporting from Sacramento -- The state budget deal negotiated by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders would reduce the population of California prisons by nearly 27,000 inmates in the current fiscal year.
That would be done with a combination of new measures, including allowing some inmates to finish their sentences on home detention, creating new incentives for completion of rehabilitation programs and scaling back parole supervision for the least serious offenders.

CA: Mexico II
A new jingle in legalese: Innocent by reason of budget cuts.
I would only support this for people incarcerated for “drug offenses.”
If you sent 80% of them back to their country of origin on buses, we’d save in a LOT of ways...
Fear tactics via government propaganda.Arming the citizens is the answer.
as long as they stay in CA....
Just make everything legal; rape, murder, robbery, burglary, assault...That’s how FL solved their roach problem, just started calling them palmetto bugs.
Absotively. A gun used in a defensive act could put some of the more violent perps in the morgue rather than a guaranteed three-hots-and-a-cot rebar motel.
Any wonder why gun manufacturers are having a hard time keep stock on the shelves? How about ammo?
The policy of keeping the 2nd ammendment "down" has led us to a society where vicitimology and thugology have been raised to an art form. We should be building more morgues, not prisons.
As to non-violent criminals, well, we should separate drug users from punks who don't respect other people's property. In the first case, let them go with a warning, in the latter, make 'em work it off to pay the victim.
Coming soon to a schoolyard near you.
Could you expound on this? It would seem that it matters not whether the State makes any of these acts 'illegal' if the people are prepared to defend themselves against such acts (which are clearly acts of harm for which little defense exists).
if they weren’t dangerous enough to keep in a cage, what were they doing there in the first place?
If none of these acts are illegal then no bad guys will be arrested and sent to jail. Defending yourself from attack would, of course, be illegal but will end up with a smaller population of productive citizens who can be easily extorted through the legal system.
“If you sent 80% of them back to their country of origin on buses, we’d save in a LOT of ways.”
BINGO!
DEPORT THE INCARCERATED ILLEGAL ALIENS...AFTER THE BORDER IS SECURED!
