> The contracts for these four prisons expire in 2023 and cannot be renewed under AB32, except to comply with a federal court order to reduce crowding in state-run facilities.
Hmm, something tells me these will end up being renewed considering getting budget approval and completing construction in 3 years is basically impossible so unless Californa has some prisons with spare space or in-progress new construction. OR, even better, reduces it's prison population... we may still have some private prisons for a while.
The next step is for the Governor to pardon all the people who are in for possession and other "lesser crimes" and the release them over the next there years, alleviating the need for additional prison space.
Yeah, seems there will just be frequent bribes for court ordered private facilities. Or lobby (bribe) to have maximum occupancies in state prisons reduced in order to make over crowding more likely.

Still fantastic news.
