Making good on a pledge by Gov. Newsom to finish the process begun in 2012, state prison officials have wrapped up the contracts with all out-of-state prisons.
. Some of that independent oversight continues, though the state has made strides to resume control of health services.
How the inmate population came down, though, is a story of criminal justice programs that sought to limit prison time to those convicted of the most serious and violent felonies. In the year before a major realignment of criminal justice services to California’s counties, 58% of new prison sentences were for property or drug crimes.
State prison officials said last week the total population across 34 facilities now stands at just under 126,000 inmates — below the maximum number allowed by the courts. But the room for growth is not sizable enough to return to the era of long prison sentences, a shift that would require the state to do something almost unheard of in recent years: build more prisons.
