The number includes nearly 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With little notice, California on Saturday is increasing early release credits for 76,000 inmates, including violent and repeat felons, as it further trims the population of what once was the nation’s largest state correctional system.

More than 63,000 inmates convicted of violent crimes will be eligible for good behavior credits that shorten their sentences by one-third instead of the one-fifth that had been in place since 2017.

More than 10,000 inmates convicted of a second serious but nonviolent offense under the state’s "three strikes" law will be eligible for release after serving half their sentences. That’s an increase from the current time-served credit of one-third of their sentence.

Never. Conservatives will be treated like a Jew in a concentration camp. They’ll be tortured and will wish they were dead. Better to go down fighting.

Other States should sue California for endangering their citizens for turning violent felons loose to roam America.

You get the government you vote for and California voted for this.

Even in the third world sewer that San Francisco, they keep voting for incrasngly radical and destructive Democrats like Chesa Boudin for San Francisco's district attorney

Please keep them in California!
I don’t have any plans to ever visit the entire West Coast again, but still am afraid of the results of this “jailbreak!”

What the hell could go wrong? Imagine thousands of felons seeking revenge in you town?
