A California sheriff blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom for leaving the state's
prison system in "complete disarray" and allowing convicted criminals to
be released early.
"He has an agenda to close prisons and there is nothing going to stop him
from doing that," Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told Fox News.
"He's let thousands and thousands of criminals, hardened criminals, out
early."

California's prisons held roughly 122,000 inmates in 2019 when Newsom took
office. That year, the Democrat told The Fresno Bee he would like to shut
down a state prison during his tenure.
So far, he's closed one prison and three more are scheduled to shutter
within the next two years, according to CalMatters. The state's prison
population has plummeted more than 20% to 95,610 inmates due to sentencing
reforms and a flood of releases during the pandemic.
NEWSOM UNDER PRESSURE TO TAKE EXECUTIVE ACTION ON REPARATIONS IF
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE DOESN'T ACT
Bianco said his office was recently notified that the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation plans to release several
convicted murderers into Riverside County.
"Three murderers that are in prison for murder, that are supposed to be
there for life, and [Newsom] is going to release them back into our
community," Bianco said.
Neither the governor's office nor the Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation immediately responded to a request for comment.

'DISARRAY'
Bianco said closing prisons is the "wrong thing to do" for the law-abiding
public.
"All you have to do is look out the window and see that we're being
victimized constantly," he said.
A recent study comparing suspects who posted bail in California with those
released under "Zero Bail" policies found that the latter group reoffended
more often and were accused of more violent crimes.
"The amount of repeat offenders right now is just ridiculous," Bianco
said. "They're victimizing other people. They're killing other people.
They're stealing from other people."
Last month, a released convict allegedly gunned down a 24-year-old officer
in California.
Bianco said lawmakers and Newsom refuse to acknowledge the issue, putting
police and the community at risk.
"They are bent, hell-bent on an agenda and nothing will change that
agenda," he said. "And so the jails and the prison systems are suffering
for it."
