overcapacity. so the additional inmates will definitely cause some trouble. maybe have to release inmates prior to their sentence in the county level. but here in alameda county, that's not the case. we will continue to hold people to serve out their full sentence. >> is there a chance other counties may actually shift inmates to alameda county because you do have some extra space there? >> well, that hasn't been brought up at this point. but you never know how these things go. it's hard to say. >> i know you talk about funding and money. there's some talk that in about nine months the state won't actually have money to pay what they're supposed to be paying the counties to do this. concerns about that? >> very concerned about that. this whole process has been a difficult in regards to how much they're going to pay to us do their jobs. the state is going to give us a lump sum at this point, but there's no guarantee of funding going forward.

so that is a big concern, because then that falls on the county of alameda and its citizens and many, many people think that that's not fair. >> sergeant j.d. nelson, we appreciate you checking in with us this morning talking about the realignment that starts today. incredible new pictures of a plane tangled up in a ferris wheel. what happened to the pilot and the people on that ride. good morning, the cooling trend continues for the afternoon and eventually some rain. we spend a lot of time together.
