What do you think about California releasing 57 thousand inmates while laying off police officers?

Where is the common sense in that? I'm glad that I have made the decision to leave California after 30 years here. Have Californians gone crazy?

    For those who are not familiar with the story... it appears that the state of California will be forced to reduce crowding in its jails as a result of a lost lawsuit regarding health care (and mental health care) for inmates in these overcrowded facilities...

    As for my thoughts on this as relates to laying off police officers - well, actually, if you release 57,000 inmates convicted of "victimless" crimes like possession of illegal drugs and prostitution, you might just save enough money housing these deadbeats to hire all of the layed-off cops back. The only down side is that moving these losers back out of jail and onto the well fare roles pretty well negates the financial benefits.

    Perhaps Californians should start by tossing illegals, I would expect there is plenty of $ to be saved there. Actually I'd bet 30% to 35 % of inmates are illegals.

    I think it's sinking time! No common sense there! It's all the celebs in Hollywood that are living in a fantasy world, while milking millions of people 'entertainment money. - what can I say?

    Sounds good to me. I'm just glad I don't live anywhere near California. I think this just points out how screwed up the politicians and judges are in this country.

    Why were the inmates released? Maybe they were up for parole, or their sentences were up. A little more information?

    I'm not saying that you are lying, I'm just tired of one-line questions that assert a claim but do nothing to support it.

    Once the weather gets better I am going to back to Laguna beach and try to forget how quickly this state is going to hell.
