Comment: With more than 150,000 human beings locked up in
California we need to look at this growing social problem that has
and will continue to have severe repercussions for all of us.
Trying to 'lock up' the problem of prisoners is not a solution, but
just a dangerous avoidance of what needs to be done in terms
of educational, job training and personal development programs.
