Assembly committee to reveiew out-of-state private prison contract
WEDNESDAY: California spends a far higher percentage of its state budget on corrections than any other state, and Schwarzenegger is proposing that lower-cost private prisons take a bigger share of the load. The Assembly Accountability Committee will be looking at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's use of out-of-state prisons at a hearing Wednesday starting at 10 a.m. in Room 444. And next week, the Senate Budget Committee is set to look at prison spending as well.
