Recepción de prisioneros en cárceles de California

Explicación Simple

Si alguien es condenado a prisión en otro estado, California puede aceptar a esa persona en sus cárceles. Una vez allí, se les trata igual que a los prisioneros locales.

Es como cuando un equipo de fútbol acepta jugadores de otros equipos. Aunque vengan de diferentes lugares, todos deben seguir las mismas reglas del nuevo equipo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue condenado en Texas y enviado a prisión. Si California decide recibirlo, Juan estará en una cárcel californiana y deberá seguir las mismas normas que los prisioneros de allí, aunque su condena sea de otro estado.
