    Gov. Gavin Newsom to stop death penalty in California, giving reprieves to 737 death row inmates

    https://www.sacbee.com/news/poli…

    "Newsom plans to sign an executive order Wednesday morning granting reprieves to all 737 Californians awaiting executions – a quarter of the country’s death row inmates.

    His action comes three years after California voters rejected an initiative to end the death penalty, instead passing a measure to speed up executions."

    • More money to house inmates in private run prisons, where it's probably more humane to be executed than to sit and rot in those places.jmckinno
    • They should be released, prison so cruel and they are flesh and blood...robotron3k
    • that's going a bit too far, robo, and would probably be unpopular. Not sure you've thought it through.Fax_Benson
    • it takes more money to execute someone than to let them live out their time in jail.dorf
