The nation faces severe prison overcrowding with tents in Florida, barges in New York, and planned camps in Texas. California spends 3.2 billion on space while federal prisons exceed capacity by over half. Authorities urge shorter sentences, more work release, and expanded halfway homes to ease the jam amid rising costs and potential riots.

Kansas Supreme Court unanimously voided a 1984 law removing 17 Water Office clerical and financial staff from civil service. The decision upheld a lower court ruling reinstating the employees with back pay and found due process protections were violated. The ruling covered rehiring and civil service status, with details on seven plaintiffs and related school district and campground cases referenced in the decision.
