Arnold started the process, and Brown completed it, to release 50,000 criminals to our streets—and crime grew. Crime has spiraled due to Prop. 47, allowing crooks to steal under $950 worth of good from your car for the price of a ticket—if they even show up. Pro. 57 made sure rapists get only a couple of years in jail. Now. Jerry, who is protecting illegal aliens that murder, rape, steal and commit numerous other crimes, wants more crime for innocent Californians.
“He says about 1,200 nonviolent offenders will be eligible for the credits this year. The state plans to reclassify “violent” offenders as “nonviolent” if they have already served their sentences for the “violent” crimes and are currently serving time for “nonviolent” offenses.
“This program would expand eligibility to all inmates in our system with the exclusion of condemned inmates and inmates that are serving a life without the possibility of parole sentence,” says Kernan.
You heard him—by government fiat they are going to redefine violent crimes by declaring them NON-violent—in the first year, 1200 violent criminals will be put on the streets. AP estimates that in total 9500 violent criminals will be on your block! Ready to fight crime?
Officials Release New Rules That Could Reduce Prison Time For Some Inmates
Jonathan Ayestas, Capitol Radio, 3/24/17
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced new regulations Friday that would allow more prisoners to reduce their sentences. Inmates who participate in certain programs will be eligible for good conduct credits.
Scott Kernan is the CDCR Secretary. He says the regulations will help keep the prison system from reaching capacity.
“We need to get the population reductions, we need the inmates to participate in these programs to make our system work and avoid a court-ordered release of offenders,” says Kernan.
Kernan says the system is about 1,500 inmates shy of capacity.
He says about 1,200 nonviolent offenders will be eligible for the credits this year. The state plans to reclassify “violent” offenders as “nonviolent” if they have already served their sentences for the “violent” crimes and are currently serving time for “nonviolent” offenses.
“This program would expand eligibility to all inmates in our system with the exclusion of condemned inmates and inmates that are serving a life without the possibility of parole sentence,” says Kernan.
The department will reclassify inmates beginning in June. The changes could result in the release of 520 inmates this year.
