I don't know how the california prisions are (and it doesn't seem to say in the article) but it could be because of lack of prisions to house females in comparison to males. In this state for example, if you are awaiting trial for a drunk driving offense and locked up and are female you get sent to the one woman's prison in the state, that is also housing people who are serial killers. There is no minimum security prison for women here. I know this because last winter my aunt's lawyer specifically said, never ever for any reason sit in a car and turn the key, even to do something like warm it up. You will get sent directly to the huge prison for the murders until the courts finish with your case. Since it says:Is the program specific to females? I don't see why it should be, a man can have children to care for too, though probably less common....
That makes me wonder if they do things in a similar way in CA and those are all petty crooks being kept in serial killer and rapist prison.The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said offenders whose crimes were nonviolent, nonserious and not sexual, with less than two years remaining on their sentences, are eligible for the Alternative Custody Program, which was signed into law in 2010 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
