Sections included in this report are: distorting the scale of punishment; distorting the balance of state and county corrections; Proposition 36; when in doubt build more beds and "rediscover" rehabilitation; the way out of California's "corrections imbroglio" -- decarcerating women prisoners, repairing the prisoner reentry system; creating a new state-local partnership, and the need for a Sentencing Commission; and final considerations.
