Section 15820.914.
15820.914. In support of this state funding, the Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The county jail system needs more capacity.
(b) Without increased capacity, public safety throughout the state may be jeopardized by offenders who either remain in the community or are released early due to lack of jail capacity.
(c) By expanding jail capacity, this funding will serve a critical state purpose by promoting public safety.
(d) This purpose represents valuable consideration in exchange for this state action.
