AP News: California may allow more ill, dying inmates to leave prison

California would allow more ill and dying inmates to be released from state prisons under legislation that cleared the state Senate and heads to the Assembly for final approval. It would ease the current standard, which critics say is so restrictive that it keeps inmates locked up who are too sick to be dangerous. They not only fills prison beds unnecessarily but are costly because these inmates often require the most expensive care.
