We don't need more jails beds. We more courts to and lawyers to relieve the overwhelmed system. We have a constitutional right to speedy trials and lawyers. People are waiting for to long for court dates.

The question that needs to be asked is the cost to house inmates in other counties? The jail has outrageous overtime costs. There needs to be a new model for staffing and a better classification system.

Seems like a slow process here, in California, they pump out cases quick.
