Assembly GOP: Don't release prisoners

The entire Assembly Republican caucus has authored and signed a letter to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger urging him not to consider settling lawsuits with prisoner-rights activists that would result in the early release of inmates.

"It is not difficult to imagine that the crime wave associated with a mass release of felons, with little or no supervision, will be unprecedented," the caucus wrote. "The impacts in our communities will be potentially devastating. We cannot over emphasize our concern about any settlement."
