Background:
California’s prison and jail population continues to climb and are overcrowded.
The U.S. Supreme Court told California to reduce the prison population because of overcrowding in violation of the Eighth Amendment in the case of Brown v. Plata,
The overcrowding crisis gets worse with each passing day, creating an emergency in the California prison system. In response to the Supreme Court ruling, Governor Brown is asking for the release of 40,000 prison inmates and Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca is releasing inmates early from Los Angeles County Jails to cover a $400 million deficit.
As a solution to the increasing prison population and budget deficit, former Governor Schwarzenegger wanted to release some inmates and send other inmates to private prisons in Arizona and other nearby states. Governor Brown has not yet made a commitment on the two issues on overcrowded conditions but pressure is now on Sheriff Baca to release non-violent inmates back into society, in your opinion, what should we do?
In a well-organized three-paragraph essay, offer your suggestion to the problem of increasing jail and prison populations during a time of a deficit budget.
Question:
After reading about rising prison populations and increased costs of running a prison during a budget crisis in Chapter 12, Jails and Prisons, and reviewing the postings in Module 12 on California Prison Doors Opened Due to Budget Crisis and California prisoners clearing out:
What is your suggestion on how to handle the problem of “overcrowded prisons” at a time when people are demanding longer sentences for violent offenders and the U.S. Supreme Court has ordered California to reduce the prison population?
