GOP to appeal prisoner release ruling
State Sen. Bob Dutton has joined his Republican colleagues in filing an appeal in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging an order by a three-judge panel to reduce California's prison population.
The court order, issued on Aug. 4, calls for the state to decrease the number of its inmates to no more that 137.5 percent of design capacity. That means about 45,000 prisoners would have to be released based on a design capacity defined by the Court as one prisoner per cell.
"The public has been led to believe that California has a serious overcrowding issue.
"In fact, California's in-state prison population has dropped by more than 8,000 over the last 10 years," Dutton said.
"Three unelected liberal judges who were all appointed by Jimmy Carter made a ridiculous ruling that my colleagues and I are confident will be overturned by the Supreme Court.
