The LA Times Agrees.

More money is not the answer to CA's prison overcrowding issue. An editorial in today's paper takes aim at Schwarzenegger's proposal:
"Though ostensibly aimed at overcrowding, it doesn't even propose genuine solutions to that problem, such as reforms in sentencing laws and a major boost in rehabilitation programs. If the Legislature, which met in special session Tuesday night to discuss the governor's proposals, wants to set things right, a radical shift in approach is required."
And, this story confirms the impact overcrowding has on even a small effort at rehabilitation.
