First, the governator [sic, though I am henceforth abandoning the 'sic'] called the state legislature in a special session to vote for the removal of what he termed a 'firewall,' which prevents the state from applying for a $4.35 billion for an education stimulus fund. I assume it is to rectify the grievous ill that public education suffered in the state after the cuts to balance the budget.
Second, as part of efforts to curb increases in the deficit, some prisoners may be released earlier, or some other individuals facing charges might not even serve any time. The senate approved the decision with a 21-19 vote, with Republicans opposing it and law enforcement advocating against it.
Personally, I think the prison system in the United States is shameful. It does a good job of keeping people locked up, but the conditions it allows within prisons are downright 'cruel and unusual,' and they provide more hardening than reformatory conditions for criminals.
