• In California we saw the need to assess what we, as church, were doing to serve the needs of the imprisoned. Twelve of our state adult prisons and youth authority facilities were without a Catholic chaplain. In the 1980's there were 15 adult correctional institutions in California. Since then, the California State Department of Corrections has been involved in the largest prison-building program in the United States. California currently has 33 state prisons ranging from minimum to maximum custody; 38 camps, minimum custody facilities located in wilderness areas where inmates are trained as wildland firefighters; and 7 prisoner mother facilities. ...

• Los Angeles is the only county to implement the state's 2002 "Laura's law," which allows a judge, under closely monitored circumstances, to order severely and often violently mentally ill people to accept treatment. ...
• The other 57 counties, which tend to view the law as controversial and expensive because it lacks state funding, should look at Los Angeles County. ...
• Marvin Southard, the director of the county's mental health department, found money to begin implementing Laura's law (named after a young woman killed by a mentally ill man in a Northern California clinic) by transferring some seriously mentally ill people out of guarded psychiatric wards - where they each cost the county about $100,000 a year - and into supervised, locked board-and-care facilities where they cost from $28,000 to $56,000.
• Tell that, however, to Amy Cabonce, who last summer argued to Mateo County mental health professionals that they ought to compel her 41-year-old son, Jerry, to be treated after he had stopped taking medications to control his schizophrenia.

• But had San Mateo County treated Cabonce, it could have billed the federal government for at least 50% of the cost of his care through Medicaid. Since Washington doesn't reimburse state psychiatric hospitals or prisons, the county now shoulders the whole cost.

(See Table 2: Children Detained with Adults—Percentage of California Total Held by Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, 1995-2002. ...
• The recent trend represents a significant increase in the percentage of children housed in the Men’s Central Jail as compared with adult jails elsewhere in the state. Before the last quarter of 1999, Los Angeles had not housed a yearly average of more than 40 percent since 1996, and it had not had a quarterly average of more than 50 percent of the state total since the third quarter of 1996. 1 In the last three years, in contrast, Los Angeles has housed more than 50 percent of the statewide total for children in adult jails every quarter in 2001 and 2002 except one.

• The City of Los Angeles, California, with the second largest Mexican population next to Mexico City, is starting the new millennium with two major corruption scandals clouding its future. The first scandal is unprecedented in the annals of the city's history and concerns Los Angeles Police Department officers involved in large scale criminal activities that include murder, bank robbery, street muggins, drug dealing, torture, false arrests, witness intimidation and the framing and imprisoning of innocent Latino youths.
