In this March 25, 2014, inmates gather in the common room at the new 192-bed facility at the Stanislaus County Jail in Modesto, Calif. Stanislaus is among the 10 counties that California Gov. Jerry Brown has visited since mid-January, touring jails meeting with inmates as well as with sheriffs, district attorneys, judges county supervisors police chiefs and probation officers to discuss the realignment law that took effect in October 2011. The message Brown received from his visits was that counties would need more money to build more jail cells and to provide the inmate mental health counseling, and education and rehabilitation programs.
