In support of this state funding, the Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
- (a) The county jail system needs more capacity.
- (b) Without increased capacity, public safety throughout the state may be jeopardized by offenders who either remain in the community or are released early due to lack of jail capacity.
- (c) By expanding jail capacity, this funding will serve a critical state purpose by promoting public safety.
- (d) This purpose represents valuable consideration in exchange for this state action.
