• AVENAL - Avenal State Prison Warden Scott P. ...
• Among the items discussed was a visit to Avenal State Prison by the California Director of the Department of Corrections Ed Alameda, who for the first time in his 30-year career toured the Avenal facility.
• He noted that while Alameda was at Avenal, he was given a tour of the prison's chicken farm and the metal fabrication operation as well as the housing and all other areas.
• In his report Rawers noted the prison had briefly had a population of more than 7,000 inmates. ...
• In other business, the warden also noted the cat problem the prison experienced last year has turned out to be a positive and other facilities are calling to find out how to get a program going.

• Until June 30, 2002 there had been a state funded program in the California Department of Corrections which located volunteers from the local communities who agreed to visit on a regular basis those incarcerated individuals who received fewer than three visits each year, Research has shown that individuals receiving visits are more likely to remain free once paroled. ...
• In November of 1987 Post Prison Ministries came into being as a ministry arm of the Downtown Church, Fresno, California.

• Above; California has always ( atleast int he last 30 odd years) spent a smaller percentage of its state budget on K-12 education than other states.
• The figure charts the combined expenditures of state and local governments, because—California's not unique, but we may be the extreme case—the admixture of state and local funds from program to program is so complicated that figuring out where one stops and another starts is frankly not worth it. In any case, I think you get a more accurate picture by looking at the combination of state and local spending. ...
• Police and prison expenditures are about 75 percent of the total criminal-justice budget. ...
• In 1968, the California prison population was about 16,000; now it's about 165,000. ... We can put a 4,500-unit, state-of-the-art facility on line for about 330 million bucks. ...
• Is this bad public policy? The statistic I always read is that spending on prisons is crazy because it costs $30,000 a year to send a kid to Harvard, and about $75,000 to put him in Avenal. Well, a lot of people have done economic analyses of this, and prison actually looks like a pretty good investment if you're worried about the return to society. These studies say that inmates, were they not in prison, would each be doing some $100,000 per year's worth of economic damage to society on average. ...

• The lawmakers convening the hearings say a confluence of events makes the time ripe for prison reform: a new governor in office, increased public scrutiny of the corrections system, and a court-ordered report that indicts the department from the top down.
