Summary: <p><span style="">Jefferson Exchange – April 3, 2013, HOUR 2</span></p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">Realignment Impacts</span> </b><br><br> California's answer for prison overcrowding is the process known as <a href="http://www.calrealignment.org/" target="_blank"><strong>"realignment",</strong></a> which gets less-violent prisoners out of state prisons and sends them to county jails for supervision.  But those jails are often themselves overcrowded, which means putting people on the streets who would otherwise be in custody.  Shasta County chief probation officer Wes Forman and Redding police chief Rob Paoletti will join us to give their take on the effects of realignment. </p>
