Diversion Programs Cause A Major Drop In San Francisco Jail Population

Counties throughout California say their jails are feeling the squeeze of realignment-  and most are dealing with the problem of too many inmates and not enough beds.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco County Jail has confirmed they are detaining the area's latest serial bank robber.
