High court to Calif: Cut prison inmates by 33,000

[CountDeMoney]

How many inmates are non-citizens?

Not nearly enough.

[Josquius]

Properly legalise weed, legalise prostitution. A lot of the problem solved and California would prove itself to be truly the most advanced state all in one fell swoop.

Very doubtful.  While states in general have a substantial number of inmates in prison on drug charges, given California's liberal attitude toward pot, I would suspect that they have very few prisoners in their system who are there because of pot (other drugs, yeah, but not pot).  And a doubt that any state has a large number of people in prison on charges of prostitution.  I could be wrong about this, but I'd need to see some numbers.

[Martinus]

Good ruling. Read an excellent coverage of it in The Economist. Scalia is becoming more of a piece of shit with each breath he draws.
