Los Angeles, CA. – What are the forces behind releasing sentenced criminals from jail before they finish their sentences, sometimes without even serving their sentences at all? The answer is the ACLU and Federal Judges according to experts featured in a thirteen minute FULL DISCLOSURE NETWORK® video news blog. Among those appearing in the video are former U. S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, III, L. A. County Sheriff Leroy Baca. The FDN video news blog is moderated Emmy Award winning host Leslie Dutton and available FREE, 24/7, on demand and provided as a public service.

Here are some of the revelations describing the cause of the current crisis in the jails:

• Captain Tim Cornell: Judge Pregerson’s order caused the back up when he ordered us to change the six-man cells to four-man and the four-man cells to two-man. We lost 1200 beds
• Sheriff Lee Baca: We had to sleep people in the chapel , in the hallways and the ACLU complained
• Edwin Meese: The Courts have usurped the function of the legislature by taking over prisons, school boards, police departments, etc. for which they have no particular expertise in running.
• Captain Ken Masse: If a criminal is sentenced to 90 days in jail they serve only three days.
• Lt. Don Meredith: As a result of that early release program some people have been murdered.
• Sgt. Paul Jernigan early releases take away the punishment for the crimes committed.
• Sheriff Lee Baca: Federal Court decree in the Rutherford decision has capped the number of prisoners we can house at 18,000
