How do people in other parts of the country feel about CA letting 27,000 prisoners go free? I'm hoping they were just drug offenders.

The Judiciary puts them in jail, the Executive lets them free. Separation of powers problem there?

He released about 6.5% of the CA prison population, but in reality it is closer to 3% if the counties and local correctional houses are included. We are blessed with over 400,000 of various types and varieties. And there is over 100,000 on parole, of which many will be back inside.
