| California plans early release for 76,000 prison inmates -- including violent felons |
| 2021-05-01 |
| [FoxNews] With little notice, California on Saturday is increasing early release credits for 76,000 inmates, including violent and repeat felons, as it further trims the population of what once was the nation’s largest state correctional system. More than 63,000 inmates convicted of violent crimes will be eligible for good behavior credits that shorten their sentences by one-third instead of the one-fifth that had been in place since 2017. That includes nearly 20,000 inmates who are serving life sentences with the possibility of parole. More than 10,000 inmates convicted of a second serious but nonviolent offense under the state’s "three strikes" law will be eligible for release after serving half their sentences. That’s an increase from the current time-served credit of one-third of their sentence. The same increased release time will apply to nearly 2,900 nonviolent third strikers, the corrections department projected. Also as of Saturday, all minimum security inmates in work camps, including those in firefighting camps, will be eligible for the same month of earlier release for every month they spend in the camp, regardless of the severity of their crime. The changes were approved this week by the state Office of Administrative Law, with little public notice. They were submitted and approved within a three-week span as emergency regulations. |

| #7 Early release --- from a C-17 at 20,000 feet, sans parachute. |

| #6 At some point, every second citizen in Cali will be some sort of felon. The other of course will be an illegal, or anchor baby. Can one be a felon without citizenship or official station? |

| #5 Good thing California already disarmed a lot of its population. All these wonderful felons might have been killed while robbing and raping. |

| #4 ^ The recall may be why Newsom is releasing these killers into the populace. |
