I wonder how many are in prison for drug related stuff and nothing more. I'd just go ahead and release them instead of the current plan, as long as there were no other factors involved in their arrests.

In all fairness, according to the article, they're not automatically releasing violent felons, they're just giving them the opportunity of parole based on good behavior a bit earlier than they would have previously been afforded the opportunity for parole
I'm all for releasing non violent offenders though. Duce is right, our prison system takes non violent offenders and makes them violent. Our current system doesn't really make any logical sense in terms of non violent offenders.
I watched this documentary on different prison systems around the world a few years ago and Norway really stood out to me

We should be doing this. America's prison system only serves to reinforce a violent culture. It doesn't do anything to cut down on crime or to help parolees become functional members of society once released.

Besides, our governor follows just about everything California does.
