This is what happens when we allow privatized prison systems here in California. When the prisons spend millions lobbying to create laws that keep people in prisons longer, it's not a surprise that incarceration rates continue to rise. People seem to forget, there was a reason private prisons were outlawed in the early 1900s

if all illegals were sent home the prison's would have room. Also those with death should be put to death!

i wonder how much is would cost to built a "tent city" out in the dessert? arizona seems to be doing just fine with the one they have. i encourage all non criminal citizens to apply for their CCW and to be prepared to defend themselves at all times. with the release of all these thugs and cockroaches we will need to take drastic actions to defend our lives and property.

Anyone with a brain knew that what Brown intended to do was to pull an 'in your face' move to all local officialsaround the state. His plan never was to only send the numbers he published. He's doing all he can to keep as much money at the state level and then let the local levels sink or swim based on his actions. If we don't have resources and or space, turn the buses back around on arrival and refuse to accept the inmates/probationers. Send them back to the prison they came from or how about giving the drive Browns home address...
