		<description><![CDATA[Given the FACTS that Torrico has accepted in excess of $15K in donations from the CCPOA (guards&#039; union) do we expect Torrico to change ANYTHING? The guards are well employed because we have too many prisoners, working overtime, getting large pensions when they retire and seem UNINTERESTED in helping any inmate rehabilitate his life. The CUSTODY issues the guards are hyped about constantly get in the way of the MENTAL HEALTH and MEDICAL DEPARTMENT staff. We can&#039;t do our work because of the guards.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good luck with the reform, rehabilitation, or whatever you want to call it.  Unfortunately for you, history repeats itself, and rehabilitation is a tried and failed methodology for dealing with prisoners.  I am hopeful that you are in this for the long haul, and not just another fly-by-night advocate that is looking for another resume builder.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi
  Finally there is someone who has a brain trying to fix this mess. do not forget sentence reform across the board, I have spent a great amount of time reading up on this mess, and one area of concern for me is the so called classification of &quot;violent offenders&quot;.

We have people sitting for 6+ years because the crime was classified as &quot;violent&quot; even though there was no violence involved. I think that&#039;s ridiculous. while people with actual violence ie: assault and battery, spousal abuse, battery get an anger management class.

The 3 strikes law, a waste of time and tax payers money, robbery in the second degree a strike and multiple years in prison? its a theft crime and should not have been raised to the level of murderers and rapists. if the DA&#039;s are pleading crimes down then hold them accountable. but keeping people incarcerated for stealing with no violence is retarded at best.

I would love to see you succeed in your endeavors, but how do think your going to get around the fear spewing lobbyist? anything I can do to help let me know, I&#039;m just a mom with no ivy league education but even I manage money better then Ca and the CDCR.

One other thing drug offenders, we keep concentration on them as there seems to be this ill concieved notion, they do not commit violence, people need to understand how many things they are offered before they ever see the inside of a prison. we need to get people with low level crimes with strikes out that&#039;s our over crowding issue.]]></description>
