Photo of Gov. Schwarzenegger Signing Legislation to Create First Secure Community Re-entry Facility
Posted: Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Consistent with his number one priority to protect the public's safety, Governor Schwarzenegger today signed SB 943 by Senator Mike Machado (D-Linden) that creates the first secure community re-entry facility. Aimed at rehabilitating prisoners and reducing recidivism and dangerous prison overcrowding, re-entry facilities are a central part of AB 900, the bipartisan measure approved earlier this year to reform California's prison system. The $7.7 billion comprehensive plan will add 53,000 beds throughout the state. The following photos were taken at the Northern California Women's Facility in Stockton, CA.
