Wait Just A Minute Governor!

California's prison problem is a mess so instead of dealing
with it they want to import it elsewhere. California wants
to be a shot caller when it comes to politics and other social
issues but lacks a spine to correct the prison problem. The
problem has now become an infected sore and the powers
to be can only find a band-aid to put on it. Time is running
out a federal judge will step in in June and may free
thousands of inmates.



Attorneys for two California prisoners on Wednesday asked a federal court to block Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger from forcibly transferring convicts to private lockups in other states.The challenge comes less than a week after the governor ordered the mandatory moves to relieve overcrowding, which he said had reached crisis levels in most of the state's 33 prisons.

Close to 400 California inmates already have transferred voluntarily to private prisons in Tennessee and Arizona under a program that began in November. Schwarzenegger authorized the mandatory moves because so few convicts had agreed to go. In papers filed with the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Los Angeles civil rights lawyer Stephen Yagman asked for an order barring the forced transfers of inmates David Diaz and Paul Blumberg — and others in similar circumstances.

On Wednesday, a three-judge panel issued an order instructing the Schwarzenegger administration to file a response before a hearing Feb. 20. The order also said the court had been assured Diaz and Blumberg would not be forcibly transferred before then.
