Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) states that California prisons were eminently capable of housing detainees. She accuses conservatives for fear-baiting:
FEINSTEIN: Yes, we have maximum security prisons in California eminently capable of holding these people as well, and from which people trust me do not escape. So I believe that this has really been an exercise in fear-baiting. I hope its not going to be successful.

Excellent point. My guess is we’re just about to see tens of thousands of inmates released to the streets of the state.
I hope you’re right that CA voters will not be happy with grammy Feinstein, but i don’t know if that will translate into replacing her with another candidate. The RATS have too much power here as you know. Any candidate, RAT or GOP will have to overcome all DiFi’s years of encumbancy at that. So i’m still thinking she can pretty much get away with anything. And nobody will call her out on any of the things you mentioned. I would be surprised if any of it touched her.
Better stand back.
Exactly. The bottom line reason why this would be a dreadful idea. And btw, what are you going to do with them when their sentences are up? You won't be able to deport them because nobody else wants them. And the ACLU will be feverishly advocating all sorts of benefits for them when they settle in to their neighborhoods across the country, as "legal" immigrants.
Okay so there are two of them. LOL
I’m sure there are more too. Our state has picked some of the most rotten eggs to represent us.
RE: “After seeing several documentaries on Pelican Bay, it might not be a bad idea.
A bad, bad place.”

Oh yeah — I thought of Pelican Bay immediately.
Sounds like a lovely resort, doesn’t it? It’s not!
A friend moved up to that area and everyone in the closest town works for the prison it seems. My friend runs a small motel and has the thrill of catering to ‘guests’ who are in town to visit their relatives/buddies incarcerated at PB. A charming group of visitors, he said. NOT!!!!!!!!!!
True but trivial. Gitmo is totally safe. But have you followed the problems in Great Britain with imprisoned jihadis? Pretty soon they'll be running the place, and then the ACLU shysters will start pounding for their release into the general population. No thanks. These are a lot badder apples than run o' the mill gangbangers.

Gitmo is totally safe.
I agree but the far-left version of Gitmo is that it is the locus of torture and therefore constitutes a horror that must be shut down. On that basis (that Gitmo is relatively safe) the vicious prison culture at maximum security US prisons, which has evolved into more than merely incarcerated gang bangers, might prove dangerous to foreign terrorists. Some of the prison gang members might fancy themselves "patriots" who should exact revenge upon the Jihadis.
That presupposes rational, not to mention, functioning brain cells.
