California is saving money on its imprisoned criminals and helping Michigan make money.
"Last week, officials from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced a deal to send more inmates to facilities out of state in order to meet a court order to reduce prison overcrowding.
That includes some 2,600 California inmates who could be heading to a former youth correctional facility in the town of Baldwin, Mich. The facility is run by The GEO Group, a private prison company.
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm welcomed the deal on her Facebook page, saying it would create 450 new jobs and $60 million in new investment."
Then we have this, “California is also negotiating with Corrections Corp. of America to take nearly 2,400 more state inmates in addition to the nearly 10,000 it currently houses in prisons in Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
However, prisoner rights groups say the out-of-state transfers are only a Band-Aid for a much bigger problem."
We could save even more if we gave the Feds 30-40,000 illegal aliens that are currently in our State prisons. We do not need more prisons; we need to outsource our criminals.
