Prison Realignment: One Year Later
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
It has been almost a year since California began overhauling its overcrowded prison system. The goal: to shed more than 30,000 inmates from in-state prisons and cut the prison budget. But critics in law enforcement and elsewhere fear the reforms may lead to higher crime. As part of the KQED News series "Prison Break," we'll discuss the realignment program. How has it fared so far?
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Matthew Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
- Allen Hopper, criminal justice and drug policy director for the ACLU of Northern California
- Dan Macallair, executive director and co-founder of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice
- Michael Montgomery, reporter for KQED News and public safety reporter for California Watch
