Voters, by pushing for ultra tough sentencing for non-violent crimes. Yeah it feels nice, but then you gotta pay the cost of housing those people.
Err, the tea party rant that "government is evil" is not an acknowledgment of government decision making...it's a rant.
Also, fun fact; privatizing prisons increases cost. Prop 19 would actually help reduce prison costs because people would stop getting jailed for pot posession. |

acually the prisons cost so much becuase of the Prison Gaurds Union. That was Jerry Brown, he did that one some Eons ago..
The guys getting thrown into prison for Pot are the big pushers or illegal smugglers... Not the average guy with a dime sack.
Jail and Prison are completely differant. If your smuggling out of country thats Federal offense. the states prop 19 wont save that guy.
Way off topic.
