Here we go with the revolving door syndrome with these inmates being  
released.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 
Monday that  California must drastically reduce 
its prison population to relieve severe  
overcrowding that has exposed inmates to increased violence, disease and  
death.

The decision, however, doesn't mean the prison 
gates will  swing open in an uncontrolled release.

The high court's decision calls  on the state to 
cut the population to no more than 110,000 
inmates,  meaning California will have to shed 
some 33,000 inmates to comply over  the next two 
years. State officials can accomplish that by  
transferring inmates to local jails or releasing  them.
