Gavin Newsom Is In Trouble With Congress – This Will Go Really Bad for Him

These shocking revelations about prisoner tablet use call into question the federal funds and grants given to California for the specific purpose of reducing crime and rehabilitating criminals, just as California’s prisoner program reportedly achieves the exact opposite purpose.</em>

<em>The Committee requests documents and communications to inform its oversight of federal funds given to California through the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Affairs.</em></blockquote>

Items the committee is requesting include “all documents and communications among or between the CDCR, BSCC, and any inmate tablet vendors.”

The lawmakers are seeking documentation detailing how federal funds were used for the tablet program, along with records supporting Newsom’s claims that inmate activity on the devices is actively monitored

They are also requesting communications between the Office of the Governor of California and both the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Board of State and Community Corrections regarding alleged misuse of the tablets or criminal activity connected to the program.
