SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Assembly Bill 109 was the state's response to an order from the U.S. Supreme Court to reduce the prison population. It redirects low-risk inmates from state prison to county jails. County probation officers are now responsible for parolees.

Today, Governor Jerry Brown announced the state has taken legal action to end the federal court order to reduce prison populations.

Basically what Governor Brown said today was that the state has measures in place to cap prison population and that prison mental health care is in good shape. And because of this, the state no longer needs to be watched over.

Further prison reductions will impact public safety, that's according to Governor Brown. The target prison population from legislation AB 109 was set at 137.5% design capacity of state prisons. The state currently is at 147% capacity. According to the governor, the state prison population has been reduced by 43,000 inmates since 2006. AB 109 has forced state prisons to send inmates to county jails and out-of-state prisons to offset crowding.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.
