U.S. News Cali. to start forcibly transferring inmates out of state

Able to find only 380 volunteers, California prison officials are to begin forcing inmates to transfer from the state's severely overcrowded prisons to privately run prisons in Mississippi, Arizona and Oklahoma. The first group transfered will be about 1,900 inmates who face deportation as non-citizens. With more than 173,000 inmates in space intended for 100,000, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in the prison system in October that bypasses state law prohibiting such transfers, but one lawsuit has already been filed.
