re: #588 Obdicut

I’m sorry, I must have miscommunciated. I don’t think they want more violent offenders, what I mean is that the corrections union, in general, supports more inmates, period— in this case, more nonviolent felony offenders entered the system. That some might third-strike cases might turn to violence where they hadn’t before since it doesn’t matter was overwhelmed by the number of nonviolent third offenders entering the system.

I’d have to do some digging, but I’ve seen wardens complain that a very large part of their population would belong in asylums, if we had asylums. The overcrowding in there now is what gets COs killed. Our state has been forced to export prisoners to Texas, for (their) profit.
