    Poor Lee Baca, he should resign in protest

    People in this country cannot do math. You cannot lock up more people than the jail can hold. You cannot make everyone serve a full sentence when the jail doesn't have room.

    All of this is getting lost in the Paris Group Hate.

    The New York Times is finally bringing up the subject.

    I guess they got tired of libeling Lee Baca without giving him at least a token chance to explain himself.

    He should just quit that job and let his replacement worry about how to satisfy a rabidly vindictive public and obey federal court orders prohibiting overcrowding at the same time.

    It's time to burden some other poor sucker with that essentially hopeless task!!!
