Just when you thought that the politicians who run California could not do anything dumber they astound you.
Gavin Newsom, the clearly lame-brained governor of the once great state of California is now proposing to cut the budget by shrinking the state’s prison population due to coronavirus.
Via Fox News:
Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing to reduce the state’s prison population to help with the state’s overburdened budget during the coronavirus pandemic.
Newsom sent a revised budget to state lawmakers this week that envisioned closing two state prisons in the coming years and eventually closing all three state-run juvenile prisons.
The Democratic governor is also seeking unspecified increases to sentencing credits that allow inmates to leave prison more quickly. And he proposes to shorten parole to a maximum of two years, down from five years for felonies, and let ex-felons earn their way off supervision in just a year, or 18 months for sex offenders.
The proposals drew support from reformers. Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice Executive Director Daniel Macallair hailed the long-sought shift.
“To reduce the number of people in confinement, we need to reduce the institutions of confinement,” Macallair said.
This is a really stupid idea, and one that you would expect from a Democrat.
The state has already let a huge number of offenders...

To reduce the number of people in confinement....
What a crock. Do they think closing prisons will stop criminals?
Closing prisons will cause MORE crime, as the deterrent of going to prison no longer is a threat!
How can an adult have a complete lack of common sense???? If you put a large dog in a small cage does it stop growing?!! Fucking morons...
You just insulted morons everywhere.
Lol, touche Kye. I believe you are correct.
Obviously is they are just guessing what the budget should be. Less obvious are things like failure of completion of budget analysis for FY2019 which ended LAST June. The analysis plays a significant part in determining the next year budget.
Too, the state doesn't even know what the current 'lockdown' has cost since no studies have yet been produced. The state Comptroller is another activist D. Big surprise.

Silly, it is the dirt people who suffer an increase in crime. The incidence of crime is not a factor to the elite.
