Its so sad how people see the negativity of these inmates. Remember that these inmates have families there sons, brothers, fathers,& husbands there human beings. Yeah they all in there because they committed felonies, but some are in there wrongly accused. My brother is in jail he’s a low level offender, yes he’s a gang member, but like some other inmates he didn’t kill anybody, he didn’t rape anybody, he didn’t kidnap anybody, all he did was carjack. And because of that he has to serve !5 years or more. Inmates like him that are not murders, rapists, kidnappers, or sex offenders should be let out and be given a second chance not these high level criminals who are a danger to our communities.

Its very easy for people to speak and judge who don’t have loved ones in prison not all inmates are in prison for rape and other crimes such as that those people do deserve to be there but there a lot that should and need to come home already those ones who have a year or two left should be released thats nothing compared to a 10 or 5 year sentience they done I think by then its enough time so before u judge please understand. There’s a movie called Mario story about a innocent man who waste a lot of time in prison its crazy how the courts are so easy to put away people but when they talk about early release they don’t want to hear it ..thank you for ur time god bless

Prisoners are released with no job, no housing and $150. The State should provide jobs and housing for those prisoners if society expects them to succeed. A person with a record makes it hard to get employment. Sexual labeled offenders carry the scarlet letter for the rest of their lives. Unable to get housing they become homeless. Sometimes, their offense, was to go to be with their 16 and a half year old, while they had already turned 18. Or being black out drunk in a party and not remembering what if any happened.
Again, we spend $50,000 per prisoner to keep them locked up and we do not want to spend half of that amount to keep them from going back to prison and keeping the communities safe, by making them better citizens.

For those that think that 70% of the personnel in the prison system are in for drugs and not a violent offender need to realize that Al Copone was taken on tax evasion. So, with that in mind, are you going to tell me that all of the people in on drug charges are non-violent offenders? Those may be the only charges that they could make stick due to various outside factors. I have several friends in law enforcement, and they tell me the real scoop.

On the other hand, if there are individuals that are in for whatever offense, and they are serving their time in peace and show true remorse, why not release them early with more credit towards good time served. Thus, if they granted people that were good boys and girls in the clink with more of a carrot than a stick then they might find that the population goes down.

Just a suggestion.

By the way, any illegal needs to be deported immediately and sent back to the country of origin. Their country can pay to house them. Or we can send the bill to them for their care and feeding.

I have written the Little Hoover Commission in regards to this muck by incarsarating the young men and women of this golden state. It’s not popular to treat humans in as an animal. This is currently a new trend for the young black men and women in southern California. Private corporations who invest into private prison facilities have recieve great compesatation. Our current economy has gone to hell in a hand basket. and have locked away black latino, men and women. This send the message to many americans that it’s not ok being other than white. this has to stop. Look and Chris Dorner issues angry, frustrated, and had faith, confidence in the fact that he was an American, how low can this system go. Then he was burn up I am of mixed heritage, but the one drop balck rule still is very much rappant a running wild. Just become Hilter and erase Black, Latinio, Jew and you will eat each other, becasuse that’s your very nature. I have not confidence that anything will be fair and Justice. We as a people have not come to far from the bibicial days.

Acting like taking 4-6 months off of an inmate’s time is the worse thing to ever happen!! Whether my husband is given any time off his last four months, HE WILL GET OUT, SO BE WARNED!!!!! His crime: an addiction to alcohol, and a marital dispute over toys in the pool gone really ugly.

We have 7 children at home, six of which my husband chose to love when he decided to love me. Two of the boys are disabled with autism. Over the 3 1/2 plus change years that my husband has been incarcerated, we have lost our home, and we have moved as a family to Utah. My 6 yr old has had her daddy locked up since before she was three years old, and moved anywhere between 8 and 15 hours away from our family. Now that we are in Utah, he is even further away.

I have had to work like a dog for all this time, working two jobs, suffering with high blood pressure and fibromyalgia and hypertension. I have aged probably 12 years. My work is still at the studios in Los Angeles, so I’m away from my family for a couple of weeks at a time. My husband, also, used to work at the studios. He is a skilled artisan craftsman propmaker and special effects man, who is also college-educated. He lives as a slave for the state of California at one of their fire camps that they are so proud of having, where the men make a dollar a day, or a dollar an hour if they are actively fighting fires.

So, get a grip, people. In fear and hatred, you citizens of California have convicted and locked up a lot of people who do not belong in prison. Hope they are not into vengeance. Loving your neighbor is not California’s strength of character.
