I've been saying for years that America is the dumb little brother when it comes to prison population in relation to the economics. Other Western nations have been through this shyt hundreds of years ago. They saw the error and the economical burden it put on their nations and made the appropriate adjustments to change how their prison system was ran. 10 years ago the gov told Schwarzenegger to lower the prison pop by releasing 50k I think because California couldnt afford it and the Feds werent going to loan them any more money. Then they did the same to Illinois 6yrs ago and both these states had the largest deficits in the country. Every other major nation understood long ago that you cant imprison millions of your population simply for monetary gain or society will suffer. 'Merica didnt listen because it was mostly black people they were targeting and we werent treated as citizens.

I hope it comes to fruition. Im skeptical but hopeful. Like someone else said though, theyll just award White Supremacy in some other fashion to compensate.

NOOOOOO.NO NO NO.
California and the california department of corrections and rehabilitation has been found to be in violation of the 8th and 14th amendments of the US constitution. This court case has been ongoing since 1990, please dont spread misinformation. This went to the supreme court, and its very important, thats why im nitpicking. Jerry Brown should be jailed for contempt of court .

This might be two separate instances of the DOJ making demands of California. I don't doubt what you say at all because I recall reading about something akin to that a while ago. I'm just also very certain that the DOJ made demands for the reasons I mentioned as well in 2011.

Interesting that they choose to do this in an election year when the Democratic Party held the presidency for 8 years, weird that he didn't make this his agenda when he was first elected, especially when he knew what was going on ... and all of a sudden NOW they've decided to do something about it

Unfortunately, I was part of the problem. I had to approve multi-million dollar contacts for GEO which used prison labor to build trailers. I sat through months of conference calls listening to these savages joke about the slave profits . I honestly wouldn't give a shyt of they defaulted. fukk em all
