The Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy was chosen for closure based on operating costs, inmate housing needs, impact on the workforce and prioritization of public safety, according to CDCR Secretary Ralph Diaz. According to the CDCR, annual operating costs for the prison are about $182 million.

DVI's one of California's entry level prisons and is rough as hell. It'll either make you or break you according to everybody I knew that went there.
Oddly enough, I never heard of it and I wandered those parts for 30 years and many of my sailors were also prison guards with mini 14s and liked to shoot people.
ReplyDelete"prioritization of public safety", What a flippin joke. Anything short of homicide in this toilet is cite and release anymore.
ReplyDeleteI saw a clip from somewhere recently, I thin k it was NYFC, where arrestees were being dumped in wealthy neighborhoods after release. I think that's a reasonable solution to jail overcrowding. Nothing like some wealthy individual getting up into a mayor's grille for exposing them to the reality of crime in their once sacrosanct neighborhood, especially if it's Deblowhole.

Amusing to watch the rich in Santa Monica and Hollywood pump money to Newsom while he dumps these heathens in their hoods.
