: Legal Pad | LASchwarzenegger's prison-population reduction plan approved by inmates' lawyers
By Richard Binder
The Schwarzenegger administration's plan for reducing the prison population calls for a reduction of 33 adult prisons to 137.5 percent of design capacity within two years. This plan has met with approval from lawyers for California's sick inmates, but they also urge a three-judge federal panel to let state officials decide what methods to use.
That approach, they said, is consistent with U.S. Supreme Court case law, which cautions against federal courts unduly interfering with the operation of state prisons.
The design capacity of the 33 prisons is 80,000, and the population is 150,000. The court ordered a reduction of 40,000 inmates to a population of 110,000 within two years.
