by years end. citing over crowding and inhumane conditions. not real clear on what type although gov Jerry Brown cites "violent criminals"

SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the early release of nearly 10,000 California inmates by year's end despite warnings by Gov. Jerry Brown and other state officials that a public safety crisis looms if they're forced to open the prison gates.

A majority of justices refused an emergency request by the governor to halt a lower court's directive for the early release of the prisoners to ease severe overcrowding at California's 33 adult prisons.

The decision was met with concern by law enforcement officials in the state.

End the costly, useless "War on Drugs" and I bet that would free up a lot of prison space.

I was just reading about this. Hmm. 10,000 new neighbors. Maybe they will move out of California. Or some of 'em.

Again!

Last time some of them committed another violent crime within an hour of being released. One guy went right home and murdered his mother.

California never learns.
