In the wake of a big Chino, California prison riot, NPR goes to Folsom Prison. Once a model for prisons around the country, Folsom has degenerated into a "pressure cooker" that does nothing but prepare prisoners for more crime. The prison population has exploded in recent years and there is not enough money.
Now, a federal court has ordered California to cut the prison population by 25%. They also look to cut $1.2 billion from the corrections budget.
