Please listen and take to heart what this petition is saying. I have a family member
inside,it would gravely affect our family
if he was sent out of state. He has a
few months left.I don't think this will happen.I also believe in better rehabilitation inside ,there would be
many less who return.Addiction(sickness)makes them commit crimes that send them back inside.I agree with parole,especially the three strikes law that populates our
prisons terribly.

States can apparently violate the constitution of this country and the rights of its people without fear or reprecussion. California has violated over 77 various court orders with no consequences. It is no wonder foreign countries no longer respect the United States of America. It is time to bring those who believe they are above the law to justice.

Look at each case. Punishment should fit the crime not one size fits all. Politicians need to be held accountable for creating this horrible situation just to further their own careers.

I voted for it, but I thought it would only be used for violent criminals. Not for petty thefts, etc. We as Americans should be ashamed of ourselves for locking these people up for basically life, when they have no victims, no violence. I know I am ashamed.

This plan is simply to add more beds to common areas. Prison officials were seen in common areas measuring the heights of the ceilings to replace two man bunks with triple bunks. We need these common areas back for the pupose of rehabilitation. We need the help of the Federal courts to unravel this mess. Please help us!
