California Judge Proposes Early Release In The Face Of Medical Neglect Lawsuits

[hidegirlgcks]

Execute the murderers and rapists, release the one''s that got caught with mere mariqiuana. Start shipping them to other prisons that arent so over crowded. Gather up all the illegals and line them up on the border and they can help start putting that fence up on the border.

Average sentence for drug-related crime: 10 years
Average sentence for child molestation: 6 years

Averages sentence for burglary: 10 years
Average sentence for rape: 5 years

Starting to get the picture here? Our prisons are overcrowded because we have no REAL standard for sentencing. Although we have it on paper, it''s really down to how much money you can spend on your lawyer.

Our justice system is a FOR PROFIT organization.

Another aspect to this is societies refusal to belive people can change. Often left with no honest options offenders reoffend.

I like the fence ideal..

Maybe Ca. should bring back capitol punishment.. If you have more then one life sentence then you die.. That should make for some room..

Between the two.. they should be able to convict a few more people..

Good thought about the illegals. Take any that are able enough down south and get them working on the fence between US and Mex. Make that thing atleast 50 feet tall and deep. When they pour the last bit of concrete or put in the last nut and bolt make sure they are all on the southern side of that thing.

It''s about time California address the issue that illegal immigrants are taking up a large part of the space in it''s prisons and jails.
These incarcerated people are also burdening the taxpayers of California millions of dollars each year, yet it''s cities and counties still consider
their municipalities as "Illegal immigrant sanctuaries."

First; Provide adequate medical care for all present and former members of the armed forces who are not in prison.
Secondly; Every politician who advocates early release for convicted criminals should be made to have at least two of these people live with them in their own private home while they are being given medical aid.

Side thought; Why can''t medical wings be built onto existing prisons? Create jobs for builders and the medical field.

Future prison overcrowding was one of the arguments used by opponents of California`s "3 strikes and your out" law passed by initiative in the 1990s.

[slim1h2o]

I''m all in favor of releasing low level, non-violent drug offenders that have been placed in these prisons by draconian drug laws.

And sooner the better...

"expand the death penalty to include lesser crimes such as rape, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, drunk driving, and drug dealing"
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Typed by a real morohn. Not possible nor reasonable and you would object loudly when one of your kids is with some ****** that swipes a candy bar and get the chair too. How about some some serious ideas like removing inmates legs so you can triple stack them in existing cells? Now THAT''s a real option!! And the "short" timers would need fewer calories too. Let the dope smokers out and keep the violent ones stacked up in their cells. We could use them to stack the nuclear waste in Yuka mtn when we open it up. When it''s full just seal them up in there with the other waste.

A return to capital punishment would be a good start to ease overcrowding. You can''t violate the rights of a dead person. Also, expand the death penalty to include lesser crimes such as rape, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, drunk driving, and drug dealing. One trial, one appeal, execution to be carried out immediately following if the conviction stands.

I was just thinking about all of the millions of good, law-abiding citizens in our country who can''''t get any medical care right now!

And the tens of millions which are going to loose it real soon as they get laid off from their jobs. But you know, an investment portfolio that has several medical companies is going to increase in value because medical costs keep rising way above the level of price inflation. More medical costs means more revenues for medical companies, and the stock values increase even more. Medical costs for government agencies like prisions are even higher, so got to put those companies'' stock in the portfolio. Medical costs for life for Congress is getting higher too, I wonder who their medical provider is--got to add that company too.

Hell yeah, turn ''em loose! The more the merrier!

Release Inmates To Ease Jail Overcrowding?

Low risk inmates can be released to serve out the remainder of their sentences to "House Arrest" wearing standard GPS ankle monitoring bracelets until they finish serving their time and paying their debt to society. An early release from prison does not need to translate into an early release to freedom!

[mrmeatspin]

some criminal is going to kill someone pretty soon..and its all because a liberal is unwilling to prioritize the law abiding citizen over a criminal...

I DO NOT MIND VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF THESE CRIMINALS..

either that or the liberals pay for these people..

[mrmeatspin]

AP) Releasing inmates early might be the best remaining option for ensuring that California prisoners receive adequate medical care, a federal judge said Tuesday.

**************

I would say i have a better solution..LOWER THE SALARY OF THESE JUdges to pay for the upkeep...get the names of those liberals who wanted to the best for criminals and terrorists AND LET THEM PAY FOR THIER KEEP..kinda like adopt a criminal programs..no one adopts you..YOU *** KING DIE FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAISNT HUMANITY..you should it as pay per view like those liberal pamela anderson shows and see the revenues go up..

[mrmeatspin]

liberals has the solution to this problem

LEGALIZE CRIME

LOL...LOL...LOL (I just about fell out of my desk chair when I read your post!!)

I was just thinking about all of the millions of good, law-abiding citizens in our country who can''t get any medical care right now!

I am finding it a little difficult to muster any sympathy for anyone serving time, and it is made more difficult when I am trying to imagine what it must be like not to be able to afford medical care for your family right now!

Perhaps the answer for anyone needing medical care...the trick is to do something to get yourself arrested....then you can get all the free medical care that you need?
