California is set to release at least 63,000 inmates convicted of violent crimes in an effort to create “safer prisons.”

Of those who are set to be released, nearly 20,000 are serving life sentences. Another 10,000 inmates were convicted for serious nonviolent offenses who have served half of their initial sentence.

Safer prisons in lieu of unsafer communities?

If you're going to claim to be a Canadian, would you mind not using words such as 'unsafer'?

America's attitudes toward crime and punishment have resulted in failure. Any other country that follows their lead will result in similar trending toward failure. Alberta is a case in point due to extreme right attitudes.

Norway is a demonstration of attitudes that lead to success.

They all claimed to be gun lovers and wanted to keep and bear Arms?

Sorry, I show my American side on Sundays. Shhh, don't rat me out publicly, just contact the U.S citizenship office and tell them to revoke mine for pretending to be a Canuck!:

From a Canadian's POV it sounds quite reasonable. Especially so the 10,000 non-violent but also quite likely the 20,00 life sentences have been carefully screened too.

This should be seen as a challenge to the failed American justice system and prison system. This should be seen as a display of courage by California to break free.

The asylum. The American asylum that is the example of failure.
Due to America's extremist politics there's no possibility of any progress being made. Even the Democrat supporters are incapable of any understanding.

And the Republican supporters will wait in anxious anticipation of one released criminal becoming a repeat offender. Preferably a murder!

76,000 California Inmates Now Eligible for Earlier Releases | Political News | US News

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is giving 76,000 inmates, including violent and repeat felons, the opportunity to leave prison earlier as the state aims to further trim the population of what once was the nation’s largest state correctional system.

More than 63,000 inmates convicted of violent crimes will be eligible for good behavior credits that shorten their sentences by one-third instead of the one-fifth that had been in place since 2017. That includes nearly 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole.

Does it say VIOLENT felons, all or some or a few of them?

 

[Donald H]

'You' are looking forward to ...........
It's a move toward 'social responsibility' and you'll correctly interpret that as 'socialism'.
What do you call Americas's failed prison system? Freedom? Liberty?

First of all, I do believe that some sentences are not in the best interest of a nation, that isn't the issue. The issue is sending them out due to dangers in prison but not outside of prison.

I have been outspoken on how I believe the "three strikes you're out" is horrible policy in my opinion (I'm not American, I can only provide my own, best judgement and honesty to the debate, I'm not here to tell them "you must be like _____"). Morally, economically and security-wise, I think it's lazy, poorly directed policy.

Also, as someone who was targeted at a young age for simply being born in the wrong neighbourhood and to provide a career for some filthy covert dogs and their low performing lineage, I understand the abuses covert police engages in, in Canada. They all deserve their place in hell, you won't see me apologize for them,

THAT is "justice" as a Canadian. No charges, no allegations, no criminal record or prison time, in fact, no crime (but boy do some of us know about crimes the police themselves engaged in). In return for the filthy animals in Canada having a career and stealing from the taxpayer, my life was stolen perpetually.

So, if you are a Canadian (maybe you're not), you better have an opinion about our creepy covert police of the TPS, OPP and RCMP. Our nation would be better off if we had Rule of law, transparency and accountability of policing rather than covert, unaccountable, East German creepy activities.

Canadian police have destroyed our reputation, our young and our economy. So...maybe bite your lip on your "holier than thou" position, unless you wish to have the real debate about Canada vs. U.S on the issue of justice. I can be two things at the same time, in support of more reasonable sentencing anywhere, but also quite offended by creepy, dishonest, life altering covet actions in Canada.

You should be too, if this is really the issue you care about.

Despite what it says, it does include violent felons (63,000 of them of the 70+k eligible in state prison for this program)!

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Make prisons safer....

to hell with the citizens

Isn't California reversing sanity and human behavior? Aren't prisons supposed to be less safe than the
outside world (not that we wish prisons to be unsafe but look at who lives there).

Isn't that the point? Why take the offenders and put them among the law abiding?

How many innocent citizens will pay for California's idiocy? Plenty, I'm guessing and it's all needless
suffering inflicted on people by the state of California.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

And the Republican supporters will wait in anxious anticipation of one released criminal becoming a repeat offender. Preferably a murder!

I don't look forward to that day. Why do you? In order to gain petty partisan satisfaction, looks like.
Pathetically petty and dangerously sad.

I'm ok if you are saying it's wrong... I just want to know what you are using to do so. The link, two that I'm aware of, directly contradicts you.

 

[The Irish Ram]

One can't give all criminals life sentences. Look at who tramp let out of Fed prison, a bank robber with a gun, I don't care if he was Christian, most folks in prison find God.

Pen, you can't be that blind. We have prisons for a reason. And most do not find God there.

Here, think of this girl as your daughter. Her name was Karla. She was raped and testified against her attacker. He was found guilty. They let him out of prison because they didn't want him to catch a virus. He blew her away outside of her apartment. I bet you'd give anything to have her back. Her family would, anyway...

Pen, was it a wise decision to put the attacker back on the streets?

 

[Donald H]

First of all, I do believe that some sentences are not in the best interest of a nation, that isn't the issue. The issue is sending them out due to dangers in prison but not outside of prison.

The dangers in their prisons are due to their failed prison system. crowded and overflowing and not serving to prevent recidivism. Just the opposite.

I have been outspoken on how I believe the "three strikes you're out" is horrible policy in my opinion (I'm not American, I can only provide my own, best judgement and honesty to the debate, I'm not here to tell them "you must be like _____"). Morally, economically and security-wise, I think it's lazy, poorly directed policy.

You choose to not criticize them for their failures, but I do. If that's what you consider to be poor policy then that can be your opinion. I'll stay with mine. However I have to say that it's not clear what you are claiming as being poor policy.

Also, as someone who was targeted at a young age for simply being born in the wrong neighbourhood and to provide a career for some filthy covert dogs and their low performing lineage, I understand the abuses covert police engages in, in Canada. They all deserve their place in hell, you won't see me apologize for them,

You obviously have a chip on your shoulder and that's led you to attempting to compare Canad's police with America's. That's a bridge too far. That's not saying that Canada's police are immune to corruption. I have myself experienced and been the victim of bad policing but it didn't cause me to keep a chip on my shoulder for the rest of my life. However, your experience that you suffer from must have been more egregious than mine. Mine resulted in an impression that 'one' mountie was somewhat bad, as opposed to the entire RCMP.

THAT is "justice" as a Canadian.

No charges, no allegations, no criminal record or prison time, in fact, no crime (but boy do some of us know about crimes the police themselves engaged in). In return for the filthy animals in Canada having a career and stealing from the taxpayer, my life was stolen perpetually.

That comes off as a rant with little meaning.

So, if you are a Canadian (maybe you're not), you better have an opinion about our creepy covert police of the TPS, OPP and RCMP. Our nation would be better off if we had Rule of law, transparency and accountability of policing rather than covert, unaccountable, East German creepy activities.

That's all about the chip on your shoulder. What is that all about?
There could be a rational conversation between us on Canada's policing as compared to America's. Especially starting with police murder of Americans on the streets, in cold blood.

Canadian police have destroyed our reputation, our young and our economy. So...maybe bite your lip on your "holier than thou" position, unless you wish to have the real debate about Canada vs. U.S on the issue of justice.

I welcome the debate. But I do because I'm curious about the reason for the 'chip'. Aside from that personal aspect, some examples of Canada's bad policing would be useful for making comparisons.

I can be two things at the same time, in support of more reasonable sentencing anywhere, but also quite offended by creepy, dishonest, life altering covet actions in Canada.

Your reference to 'covert' actions by Canada's police isn't specific and so I'll neither acknowledge or deny.

You should be too, if this is really the issue you care about.

The issue I care about here in this discussion is America's failure of it's justice system and it's prison system. But I'll take the time to hear you out on your grievances over Canada's.

Fwiw, I have a good friend who is a retired mountie. His attitude toward law enforcement is quite out of step with mine, but I would suspect could be consistent with yours. That is judging from your attitude of seeing little fault in the US system and your attempts to compare their mess to Canada's policing.
