VOTING "NO" ON PRISON PLAN

Our fellow neighbor, Joshua Malina garners attention from the press. According to this celebrity justice article, Josh states:

It is deeply disturbing to think that such an extreme decision would be made without any interaction with the residents here.

Los Angeles County Supervisor, Zev Yaroslavsky, today said plans were "very much in the preliminary stage," so much so that he had not yet received a recommendation on it from County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman. He also stressed that no plan would go forward without public input.

"The camps need to have community support," Yaroslavsky said. "If they don't want it, other alternatives will have to be found."

According to the LA TIMES article, The Fire Chief and his agency have been looking at nearly a dozen possible locations that could serve as a new home to Camp 16 inmates. Camp 8 was reportedly proposed just last week, and the officials are still in the process of conducting an assessment into whether it fits the criteria from corrections officials.

The Malibu facility could be used for up to 2 years until a replacement is found, or built.
