Reducción de Prisiones Privadas en California

Explicación Simple

La ley dice que California quiere devolver a los prisioneros que están en cárceles de otros estados y reducir las cárceles privadas dentro del estado. Esto es porque hay menos personas en prisión, así que el estado puede cerrar algunas de estas cárceles.

Es como cuando decides vender un coche que ya no usas porque te das cuenta de que no lo necesitas. Así, el estado está disminuyendo el número de prisiones porque hay menos prisioneros.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Carlos, que está en una prisión privada en California, es trasladado a una prisión estatal porque hay menos prisioneros. Mientras tanto, el estado comienza a cerrar una de las cárceles privadas que tiene, porque ya no hay tantos presos como antes.

Miscellaneous Powers and Duties of Department and Director of Corrections [2051 - 2068] ( Heading of Article 1 amended by Stats. 1957, Ch. 2256. ) 2067. (a) As outlined in the Budget Act of 2018, it is anticipated that all California inmates will be returned from out-of-state contract correctional facilities by February 2019. To the extent that the adult offender population continues to decline, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall begin reducing private in-state male contract correctional facilities in a manner that maintains sufficient flexibility to comply with the federal court order to maintain the prison population at or below 137.5 percent of design capacity. The private in-state male contract correctional facilities that are primarily staffed by non-Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation personnel shall be prioritized for reduction over other in-state contract correctional facilities. (b) As the population of offenders in private in-state male contract correctional facilities identified in subdivision (a) is reduced, and to the extent that the adult offender population continues to decline, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall accommodate the projected population decline by reducing the capacity of state-owned and operated prisons or in-state leased or contract correctional facilities, in a manner that maximizes long-term state facility savings, leverages
