... at least some remaining in-state within California correctional facilities.
Don't look at me like that, I'm only taking for granted the data revealed by several speakers at the 50th anniversary of the 'March On Washington' yesterday. Everyone's either in prison, was in prison, or is about to 'go to/go back to' prison. All told, the California penal system costs the CA taxpayer (thank God I'm not one of them) 11 billion dollars a year to house over 150,000 prisoners.
One thing about 'crime drop' in highly-populated metro/suburban areas like the Los Angeles/Orange County/San Bernardino/Riverside megalopolis: Statistically, you might be able to show FBI stats illustrating a significant drop in violent crimes/robberies on the 'per 100,000 persons' calculation, but when those persons are still packed in like sardines (like how I'd describe the counties above) with hundreds of thousands of people living on top of one another three layers deep, even a diminishing crime rate will still describe a fairly dangerous place to live -- statistics be damned. The 'per 100,000 persons' metric serves to hide the crime by not telling the whole story.
It's like this: If two localities had the same violent crime figure of '10 murders for every 100,000 people' you might never know anyone who's been killed if you applied that figure to Wyoming or Nevada, you being a resident in one of those two places. Maybe never even travel to that distant part of the state.
However, if you applied that same '10 murders for every 100,000 people' to Koreatown in Los Angeles there's a pretty good chance you might have driven past the crime scene on the way to work that morning. Maybe even knew the guy who was killed.
Flatly calculated crime statistics don't paint the entire picture. Really they're just jigsaw puzzle pieces, not the completed puzzle.
