8:17 pm
told you about tool for new plan to reduce its prison population significantly by january. a three judge federal panel has now extended the deadline to april to give this a time to figure out how to go about reducing the population right now there are over one hundred nineteen thousand inmates in california closing the prison system to operate at one hundred fifty percent over capacity. it advocates say that this overpopulation is a violation of constitutional standards and leads to poor prison conditions. the court saying that the population needs to drop by to nine thousand six hundred inmates by april rather than january. witness the latest is rc correspondent from o'malley now grandma on the twenty oh one to love the warranty tell about one and this extension is about. share and this is
8:18 pm
in the first and that the extension that this deadline has been extended with a memo that the court initially ordered the state of california to reduce its prison population to about one hundred and ten thousand people or about a hundred thirty seven point five percent of its capacity by june of two thousand thirteen now that has been extended in till april and this also gives them a bit more time for it for the attorneys representing the prisoners themselves to help negotiate a new solutions in order to deal with. california's prison overcrowding before this he was just the governor's office and legislators who are trying to come up with ideas but this has helped bring in attorneys for the prisoners to try to come up with some ideas to to help reduce this issue of overcrowding. well let's talk about ideas but kind of long term solutions have been proposed. should it is coming from the stain
8:19 pm
really have to do mostly with reducing the rate of recidivism here in the state of california now that means spending more money on education of inmates and spending more money on mental health. funding instead of the prisons as well however attorneys for. it is for the inmates themselves say that more needs to be done to really address the immediate issue of of just of late overcrowding and said the prisons had the heads up about that the attorney for these men as and when and say that the overpopulation is a violation of constitutional stand. leave for the really poor prison conditions. i didn't tell us about that those conditions but it's probably like annie's overcrowded prisons. i salute you i am in the healthcare system instead of california prisons was ruled to be unconstitutional and this really stems from a couple of cd's of all be in a inmates suffer from mental illness
8:20 pm
the illness in his trailer in me to where really getting the proper care because it they're just so many people stacked up on top of each other attorneys representing some of the mentally ill inmates describe some of the conditions was different thirty percent of april in california are people with severe mental illness. and those people were in in terrific condition they would be very into backing compensate committed suicide he didn't know were there there are basically losing touch with reality. when there wasn't enough capacity to care for them. it's where people worked with medical conditions brands ranging from infection and cancer
8:21 pm
we're not kidding who care i think it does go to the doctor on call. i want one. the only candidate in the case that the present to you so the judges the roles of the healthcare system in california prisons in constitutional even suggested that that even that led to deaths and in the most recent extension of the negotiations for this. prisoner release that lie in some judges expressed a lot of concern over the fact that hundreds of mentally ill inmates are being kept in solitary confinement with what appears to be no sir because our mother had asked you why california's prison population so much higher than the rest of the west humans have more petrol with this is the problem that didn't happen overnight this is that kids in the making just for the bit of perspective at the nineteen seventies. there are about twenty thousand total inmates in all of california's prison system at its peak in two thousand seven there were nearly a hundred and seventy five thousand inmates. that's an increase of about seven hundred percent so and a lot
8:22 pm
of this does have to do with a tougher drug laws. stricter sentencing good guy lions loss to choose three strikes and as always is a lot of coverage of high profile crimes in the news and then that really created a string of lawmakers who are tough on crime. really compete to see who could be a tougher sentencing guidelines and years and years of those sort of call his unforced we ended up with this over qantas inside the prison system. now my reasons and officials say that they want to extend that deadline is to give the rehabilitation programs in the same time soon to be able to war while to see how most rehabilitation said son's work or if the semi is going to be out hunting once again rc car spun around on the lino reporting for us in los angeles thank you so much you bet. also give mine to the iconic yellow school bus children have gone to school linger for decades upon decades city council members in philadelphia approved a bill this month that would
8:23 pm
