The California $upreme court ruled on December 16, 2002 that the governor has extensive authority to veto parole to prisoners convicted of murder even in very, very rare instances where the sham parole boards and/or kangaroo courts approve releasing a prisoner who ahs been confined in the gulag for decades and is eligible for parole. This ruling no doubt will adversely affect many prisoners serving open ended sentences who qualify for parole (1). "Monday's 89 page majority opinion written by Chief Justice Ronald M. George concluded the governor has the final word on parole as long as he is backed by 'some evidence,' including his own view that the inmate poses a risk."(2).
Essentially Gray Davis has a "blank check" and unobstructed latitude to further implement his capricious and arbitrary repressive "across the board" no parole for lifers policy which is purely a scheme to retain people in the gulag. Most prisoners given a life sentence become eligible for parole after serving a set number of years in prison. They are then supposed to go in front of a parole board which decides, based on their behavior in prison, case history, and testimony of others, whether or not to release the prisoner. This is in keeping with the idea that prison is meant to rehabilitate criminals who can learn from their mistakes and return as productive members of society. The Supreme Court's ruling makes clear that there is no pretense of rehabilitation to the criminal injustice system.
Davis' no parole for lifers scheme is hypocritically advanced to keep people imprisoned who allegedly pose a threat and danger to society when it is actually the imperialists and their stooges who pose a great threat and danger to all societies the world over! The whole problem lies with imperialism principally and with the bourgeois criminal injustice system en masse. The United $nake$ leads the world in incarceration per capita -- the majority of people in the gulags across the U.$. prison-state are oppressed people. Due process is constantly disregarded. It is injustice and systematic repression ad infinitum.
