Re-entry politics

The Schwarzenegger Administration has had some small success so far getting counties to consider hosting "re-entry" prisons where inmates who came from the county would serve the end of their sentences and get counseling and assistance finding jobs and housing. But Contra Costa County is saying "no." The Antioch folks in this article seem to have a point. But a county supervisor is quoted saying that no prison or detention center should be located anywhere in Contra Costa County. Hmmm. Does that mean the county is going to stop arresting and convicting people, too?
