LOS ANGELES – Prisoners at a handful of facilities statewide will be triple-bunked in two-person cells under a recently declared state of emergency triggered by overcrowding in the stateprison system, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
The state Department of Corrections says 1,200 unexpected inmates, most of them destined for maximum-security facilities, are arriving from financially strapped counties that can't accommodate them in their jails, according to a memo obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
With the influx from the counties, Rimmer said the prison population "is approaching historical highs." California has the largest stateprison system in the nation.
