| The last thing I want anybody, man, woman, or child, is to be looking over their shoulder when they go out and enjoy their lives. | |
| They shouldn't have to worry about that, but not in this state. | |
| Things have changed. | |
| It's out of control across the board, and I think in California, it's pretty hard to get into jail. | |
| The county jail system was designed just to hold people for a year or while they're going through the court process. | |
| Ever since prison realignment in our local jails, they pushed down what used to be a state's responsibility with a lot of serious felons into our jails. | |
| Now we're holding people, sometimes 10 years, 15 years, drug abusers, folks that are doing shoplifting and things on a regular basis. | |
| There's no capacity. | |
| If I'm going through and I'm classifying people that need to stay in jail, I'm going to keep the violent ones. | |
| And because of what we've done with petty theft, making it a non-felony, those are the people that we're going to end up releasing because I've got to keep the ones that we're afraid of in custody as a society. |
