A panel of federal judges this week called on the state of California to release tens of thousands of inmates over the next several years to alleviate prison overcrowding. But state corrections officials say they will fight any such order. We look at the implications of the tentative ruling, and discuss options for reducing prison overcrowding.

Guests:

Matthew Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Michael Bien, partner at the San Francisco law firm Rosen, Bien and Galvan, LLP and lead counsel for one of the groups of inmates in the prison overcrowding case
