Default Donnelly Floats Bill To House Foreign Convicts In Mexico

This might be good, and it might be so-so. You're a foreigner, and you get convicted in state court, you serve your time in a privately run prison system in Mexico. I have a lot of questions of course, but I can think of at least one way to improve this bill by leaps and bounds: Set up the private prison in Iraq. That might be a better deterrent.

Quote:
AB 2083, as introduced, Donnelly. Foreign Private Prison
Commission.
Existing law provides for the administration of the state
correctional system by the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation under the direction of the Secretary of the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Existing law requires the
department to prepare plans for, and construct facilities and
renovations within its master plan for which funds have been
appropriated by the Legislature.
This bill would establish the Foreign Private Prison Commission,
which, in cooperation with the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, would be responsible for the operation and
administration of private prison facilities that are located in
Mexico to house foreign nationals who have been convicted of offenses
committed in California. The bill would require the commission to
conduct a cost comparison of executed privatization contracts every 5
years, and if the commission determines that the private prison
facility costs are lower than costs of this state to provide the same
services, would require ½ of the difference between the state's
costs and the private prison's costs to be deposited into the
Correctional Service Fund, which would be established by the bill.
Moneys in the Correctional Service Fund would be available to the
department for purposes of implementing the provisions of the bill
upon appropriation by the Legislature.
The bill would become operative only if, before July 1, 2017, the
United States enters into a treaty with Mexico to allow the
incarceration of inmates outside of the United States in private
prisons.
