Wouldn't this increase the number of unemployed significantly. Also, the
newly freed would practically be unemployable since the competition for jobs
would have so many people who have never served in prison. And no,
The feds are going to force the prisoner release because of the
overcrowding. Another good move would be to sell San Quentin and
allow that land to be developed. It would easily bring enough money
to build another prison someone out in the boonies, like Kern County,
and have enough left over to
along with some form of legalization and clearing out the prisons of
non-violent drug offenders, that might actually fix our state.

Not if they legalize pot and release the non-violent offenders from

bandwagon, we could have a boom that would make the tech boom look
like small potatoes.
