Federal Judges Order California To Reduce Prison Population By 40,000

Non-violent in Cali?

You don't think there are any non-violent drug offenders in prison in California?

40,000 of them? I doubt there are that many.

Guess again.

Oh...and this little drama about releasing prisoners from overcrowded CA jails and been going on for ever since I moved here in 1982. And since then lots and lots of new prisons have been built. SSDD.

Pot heads mostly ... they aren't stupid enough to kill or fight the cops back most of the time. But 40,000 ... no way that many of the drug offenders are non-violent.

yea its an adventure living here.....the most inept legislature anywhere.....have been since last century....

The short times I was there I saw more criminals on the streets than anywhere else to, and not the little shop lifters and jay walkers. Though that was the LA area, but still. If that's what they have on the streets, I would hate to visit their prisons. In Seattle we get about one shooting a month, that's it!

What is the population of Seattle compared to LA?
