Photos: Overcrowded California Jail Shocking Condition

CHINO, CA – DECEMBER 10: Inmates at Chino State Prison in California, which houses 5500 inmates, crowd around the double and triple bunk beds in a gymnasium that was modified to house 213 prisoners on December 10, 2010 in Chino, California. The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments to appeal a federal court’s ruling last year that the California state prison system would have to release 40,000 prisoners to cope with overcrowding so severe that it violated their human rights. More than 144,000 inmates are currently incarcerated in prisons that were designed to hold about 80,000.
