A New Spirit of Cooperation?

As reported, very recently, in "In Service Training" classes, M.E. Poulos, Warden of the California Institution for Men in Chino has been announcing his plans to increase CIM's inmate population by the addition of 400 new residents.

His proposal would re-activate the Minimum Facility's gymnasium as a housing unit together with new construction, building a new inmate housing unit which, in total, would add an additional 400 beds to accommodate the influx of additional population.

It is refreshing that the City of Chino has buried the hatchet of opposition to increases in inmate population at CIM and perhaps, with this new spirit of cooperation, the California Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (CalDORC) can forge ahead with their plans to build the new, heretofore hotly contested, mental health treatment facility on the grounds of CIM.

Its always uplifting to know that reasonable people can resolve the issues which divide them.
