CA Ordered to Reduce Prison Population
In the first such ruling of its kind, a special three-judge panel has held tentatively that overcrowding in California prisons presents an unconstitutional risk to inmate health and safety and that the prisoner population must be reduced by tens of thousands of inmates.
California has been operating its 33 prisons at nearly 200% capacity, with 156,000 inmates in prisons designed to hold fewer than 100,000, and 6,000 others in privately run prisons out of state, and 11,000 living in conservation camps or private prisons inside the state. The panel has previously found that the prison system's mental health and medical care is so negligent that it is a direct cause of inmate deaths and suicides.
