Justices upheld an order from a three-judge panel in California that called for releasing 38,000 to 46,000 prisoners

More 0bama voters.

[dead]

Maybe less laws would help.

I’ll cross my fingers that what happens in California, stays in California.

[Eyes Unclouded]

?

Government could spend to create jobs building new jails so the prison guard union could add more members and conservatives would be happy to see criminals serve out their sentences.

Seems to me that both sides would get something out of it but I guess it is a California thing.

Wondering how they will prioritize the list for release.

[Personal Responsibility]

needless suffering and death" had resulted from putting too many inmates into facilities that cannot hold them in decent conditions.

Needless suffering and death will be the result of this decision! And it won't be the death of the inmates either - it'll be innocents who pay the price. Idiotic. Completely idiotic.

[Red Badger]

Okay, who’s gonna watch these people?....................

[Longbow1969]

This seems like a pretty awful decision. Still California has had over crowding problems for quite some time now. Sounds like they are going to have to bite the bullet and build more prisons. They’ll just have to cut some of their wasteful social programs to actually keep people locked up.

“........saying that “needless suffering and death....”

So then, it is the opinion of the high court that the “needless suffering and death” should be moved into our neighborhoods.

Such a release in absolutely insane.

[mad puppy]

Do you suppose this will have any impact on gun sales in California over the next few weeks? Ammunition? Up or down? Hmmm. Let me think....

[Lancey Howard]

LMAO!!
They’ll be returning to the same Ubama-voting neighborhoods they came from.
Good luck to those people.

[Persevero]

“as many as 54 prisoners share a single toilet.”

I do not see prisoner release as a solution but this is not reasonable.

The state can install a few hundred toilets. They don’t have to be deluxe.

[MNGal]

How many of those in the California prison system are illegals? I propose they start by deporting ALL of them FIRST. That should cut the number down considerably!

[forgotten man]

I bet at least half of them are “undocumented Democrats.”

Elections DO have consequences. Presidents choose who they want on the Supreme Court & their decisions affect all of us for the rest of our lives. With unemployment at a staggering rate & more people on welfare - the chances of felons finding productive ways of supporting themselves is going to cause a crime wave like we've never seen, if this ruling is not appealed.

This will set a precident for the ACLU to latch on to other states to make sure that they obey the law & release their inmates. Might be tempting to a lot of states that are in deep budget trouble & maybe make a difference in putting the death row ones on a fast track.

[Cyman]

I would anticipate the local county and city governments to immediately sue the Department of Corrections to prevent en masse releases. These felons would have a devastating effect on their surrounding communities. Don’t we law abiding citizens have basic rights that this order will decimate? Can we ship these vermin to areas where the five majority SCJs reside?

[Venturer]

Let me guess. Kagen and Sodajerk voted for the release.

Right?? Right??

[hosepipe]

Everything wrong the Calif. is mentioned right here..

California: the state that is too stupid to understand simple solutions that seem obvious in other border states.

The populace pretty much deserves what they get.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

[Fredgoblu]

Which is more inhumane, anyway: needless suffering and death of convicted felons, or needless suffering and death of innocent, law abiding citizens at the hands of early-released felons?

[Yaelle]

Can the FEDS come and take all the prisoners in CA that are not legally in this country OUT of this country?? As well as all of their amigos who have NOT been jailed but are EQUALLY illegal????? It would solve 99.9% of California’s problems.
