The system where prisoners have all of their needs met (health care, dietary needs, etc) isn't sustainable. The Californian solution to this has been to release prisoners, rather than cut off these perks that many contributing members of society don't have access to.

Since fraud is a "non-violent crime." Politicians/judges in California have made the punishment of these types of crimes absurdly lax, often with early release or little-to-no time served.
