On April 25, The Sun published an editorial titled "Deal with prison guards too cushy" that seriously mischaracterized the recent agreement between the State of California and the California Correctional Peace Officers Association.

It appears that the factual errors included in the editorial were derived from an April 17 Sacramento Bee editorial that was replete with misstatements. My response identifying these errors was published on April 24.

The article "State considers private prisons," Jan. 12, provided comments from various stakeholders - the governor, the Legislature, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and the California Correctional Peace Officers Association. Each argued for or against the privatization of California prisons. Regretfully, none of the individuals quoted spoke for or about the consequences to taxpayers, the families of inmates, or even the inmates. Prisons are supposed to provide two distinct and important functions: providing for the incarceration of those individuals who are a threat to public safety; and rehabilitating those individuals who want to and can be, which is even more important financially to every taxpayer. The prison system has abjectly failed to provide either ...

It costs California taxpayers nearly $50,000 a year to incarcerate each of the state's 168,000 state prison inmates. Part of that cost, which is about 50 percent higher than the national average, is due to prison overcrowding because of tougher sentencing laws. And those tougher sentencing laws were championed by the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, which has a huge interest in having more prisons - and prisoners to fill them.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The union representing California's prison guards said Monday it was starting a recall attempt against Gov.
