Full disclosure: This is not satire.
No, really....three cheers for Governor Moonbeam....Jerry Brown of California.
When a nut-job federal panel decided that prisoners didn't have it good enough....and it looked like California would have to release....let loose....8-10,000 convicted criminals.....
Brown endorsed a bill to spend millions to rent space anywhere he could to contain the felons.
A Liberal actually siding with innocent society!!!
Whoopee!
1. "Gov. Brown’s $315 Million New Plan To Reduce Prison Overpopulation: Rent More Space
2.... a plan to comply with a federal court limit on prison overcrowding by leasing more space for nearly 8,000 inmates from county jails, private facilities and other states for $315 million.
3. The limit order, issued by a three-judge panel and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011, requires the state to cap its prison population at 137.5 percent of design capacity.
4. “The only way to comply that is consistent with public safety is to purchase additional space. So that’s the plan,” Brown said at a Sacramento news conference.
5. Brown said he believes the alternative of releasing more prisoners to meet the cap would endanger public safety.
A crowd of Democratic and Republican legislators and law enforcement representatives who joined him at the conference said they agreed."

6. Now...here's a REAL Liberal:
"Donald Specter, a lawyer for the inmates, called the plan “expensive and wasteful.”
