Panel Suggests Reforms For California Prisons
By Associated Press
Published: 07/02/2004

Governor Schwarzenegger's prison reform panel is offering more than 200 recommendations to overhaul a California prison system rocked by scandals and overspending.
Panel chairman -- the former governor George Deukmejian -- calls the prison system dysfunctional.
The report released last Thursday suggests a new organizational structure, a new culture and an end to the code of silence about inmate abuses.
It also suggests a renewed focus on improved ethical behavior.
Duekmejian says many of the proposed reforms will restore California's lost status as a national model for running state prisons.
