    LA Sheriff: Cut budget, close a jail

    LA Sheriff: Cut budget, close a jail

    The Associated Press
    4:40 a.m. June 27, 2009

    LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca says he will close one of five county jails next week if he has to cut his budget.

    Baca sent a letter Friday to county supervisors that if he's forced to slash $25 million from his budget he'll shut down the 1,600-bed North Facility at Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic on Wednesday. He says he will release some of those inmates early and transfer others to already overcrowded jails.

    Baca wrote that closing the jail will "potentially result in an increase in inmate violence and a resultant increase in the use of force."

    It wouldn't be the first time Baca has shut down jails or released inmates early. In mid-2002, Baca allowed early releases, saying he was unwilling to cut deputies

    Things just seem to be going from bad to worse there in Cali.

    I have to wonder about any sheriff that threatens to release inmates early. Does he have the authority to do that?
