LOS ANGELES – The head of the nation's largest sheriff's department is warning that nearly 4,000 jail inmates might be released early and about 600 deputy and professional positions could be eliminated to meet budget cuts.
Owing to the economic crisis, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department faces a $71 million cut to its $2.5 billion budget in the coming fiscal year.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca told The Associated Press on Monday it looks as if he'll have to close two jails and eliminate the positions of the staff at those facilities.

"There's no way around me cutting $71 million out of the budget that won't affect having to close a jail or two," Baca said. "I have to start cutting."

Baca hasn't finalized plans, but said he was looking at closing two of the county's 10 jail facilities: the old central jail, which houses about 2,300 inmates; and part of another facility in Castaic in the north of the county that houses about 1,500 inmates. Violent offenders from the closed jails would be housed in other facilities.

Closing those facilities would eliminate positions for about 400 of the department's 10,000 deputies and another 200 or so civilian jobs would be lost too. The job cuts would come primarily through a hiring freeze.

Of the inmates that would be released early, Baca said he'd first look to nonviolent offenders who are awaiting trial.

Baca was forced to take similar action during an unforeseen downturn from 2002-05, when his department grappled with $180 million in cuts.

The department provides law enforcement for 40 cities, dozens of unincorporated communities and 4 million residents. The department also runs the county's jail system, which has a population capped at 20,000 and includes 700 people accused of murder awaiting trial.
your welcome i saved your thread

 
heres what i think....let out the ****ing non violet marijuana offenders. if we didnt have such retarded *** laws then maybe we wouldnt be overfilled with people that dont even need to be there.

btw: theres no point in taxing more and more because they're just gonna spend more and more. i find it ironic that you have people that do a budge for this state, yet they put us in the hole.

 
x2 there will always be states crying poor till the end of times due to the fact that they will never get their spending under control and or be responsible for dumb choices they make which is why when a raise in taxes proposition to save the police force, schools or anything else comes around I say fuck em' because it's like putting a bandaid on an amputation.
exactly. this state is raising sales taxes, doubling licensing fees for our vehicles among other things when it isnt even out fault.

you know what i say to this? **** you then. im not buying a new car, and im buying all my shit online from other states to save on sales tax. **** you california. **** you.

Yep, Canada was gonna legalize marijuana, but at the moment when bush was in office, he said he would retaliate against canada and that it would cause border problems. ehehe the way i see it, the mex border is so screwed worse, now that obama is in and have visited canada same with Stephen Harper visiting NY and what not & after all the money issue crap, I hope they both try to renew "re try" the marijuana legalization bill, and would save so much money on the arresting part over finding a roach or personal use.

by the way how are the streets of CA, AZ, NM, TX,LA, doing vs the states that are lined up with the border of Canada?

way far off worse even if marijuana became legal, more than 75% of the states are on meth any how.
