  2. Still too many prisoners in California

    It may come as a disappointment to Gov. Jerry Brown — but it certainly should not come as a surprise — that a panel of federal judges rejected his request that they return control of California's still-overcrowded prison system to the state. The network of 33 state prisons continues to hold more than 9,000 inmates beyond the court's mandated cap, and Brown's administration has not presented a realistic plan to eliminate that excess, even though the court has extended the deadline for compliance from June 30 to the end of the year.

  10. Crime legislation: Focus on facts, not fear

    California already had what were arguably the nation's toughest sex offender laws in 2006 when voters, spurred on nightly by fear-mongering television hosts such as Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly, adopted this state's version of <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2006/oct/02/opinion/ed-jessica02">Jessica's Law</a>. Proposition 83 required all convicted sex felons, whether violent or not, whether still on parole or not, and whether at high or low risk of reoffending, to wear electronic monitoring devices for the rest of their lives. Drafters ignored the fact that there was virtually no evidence that global positioning satellite tracking reduces the number or severity of sex crimes, and they didn't consider whether to allocate the high costs of perpetual monitoring <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2007/nov/28/opinion/ed-jessica28">to the state or to county governments</a>. They didn't think through how to penalize parolees and post-parole registrants who cut off or disabled their ankle monitors.
