After the murder suicide of Officer McGowan in San Bernadino County the crank mega-lab in Kern County shuttered; resulting in a 25% drop in violent crime in Los Angeles County. Kern County Probation (CalMET) is directly responsible for manufacturing 3 tons of crank anually and 46,000 State prisoners; providing $4,000,000,000 in additional Health and Safety money to California SEIU members. The SCotUS has chosen to release these 46,000 prisoners, as their rights have been violated; in addition to the millions of California citizens harmed by Kern and San Bernadino County law enforcement.

These low level offenders now occupy over 48,000 expensive prison beds, increasing prison costs by about $1 billion annually. The U.S. Supreme Court decision requires a reduction of 32,000 prison beds. That should save about $1 billion annually if the state fully reimburses the county for the added jail costs. That’s because prison beds cost about $25,000 more than a prison bed. Most counties will probably have to rely on contract beds to house inmates returning to their custody.
