A judge is allowing California to proceed with plans to allow earlier potential prison release dates for repeat offenders with serious and violent criminal histories under the state’s "three strikes" law.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Shama Mesiwala lifted the temporary restraining order she imposed last month.
That order temporarily blocked California corrections officials from acting on emergency regulations allowing them to increase good conduct credits for second-strike inmates serving time for nonviolent offenses who are housed at minimum-security prisons and camps.
Their daily credits can now increase from half off their sentences to two-thirds off their sentences.
The ruling "clears the way for the Department to implement regulations that incentivize incarcerated people to participate in positive rehabilitative activities and avoid negative behavior," corrections department spokeswoman Vicky Waters said in an email.
Twenty-eight of California’s 58 district attorneys moved to block the rule, but Mesiwala agreed with corrections officials that the prosecutors lacked standing to challenge the regulations.
The prosecutors argued that it would apply to those convicted of, among other things, domestic violence, human trafficking, animal cruelty and possession of weapons by inmates who have previous convictions for serious and violent felonies. California has a narrow definition of what constitutes a violent crime.

“...allow earlier potential prison release dates for repeat offenders with serious and violent criminal histories...”
C’mon Karma!!!!!!!!!
Bite these judges in the azz!!!!!!
Gotta say one thing about California...it is consistent in its wackiness.
Naw, the elites in this country never suffer the consequences of their actions. They float above all the crime, chaos and confusion. Its good to be a liberal elite.
I’m surprised that only 28 of 58 district attorneys moved to block the rule. Are there 30 corrupt D.A.s in California?
Another reason not to go to California.
Judge Shama Mesiwala
Third world bleep hole judge.
Nice....”Three strikes and you’re out”... of prison and yo can go back to doing what Satan’s animals do!!
Build a halfway house next door to Sacramento Superior Court Judge Shama Mesiwala’s home. Or her mother’s home.
Whatever it cost.
It’s time for the damn ‘elites’ to live with the consequences of their evil.
Change zoning laws so halfway houses can be built next door to judges' mansions... that would be a nice starting point.
Indian Muslim.
Are ordinary citizens going to have to do the job themselves?
