number of state prison population was 128,264 inmates (Wagstaff & Butler, 2017, p. v). As of now there are thirty-five state correctional facilities. Crime data gathered by the California Attorney General demonstrates that violent and property crimes have decreased since 1980. California has a decentralized policing system in which private investigators and researchers work in close proximity. Researchers can develop a deeper understanding of the science discipline that allows them to better anticipate their needs.

The district attorney is responsible for prosecuting criminal violation within a county under” California Government Code Section 26500” (SB 227). In California, the Grand Jury is a body of fellow citizens whose job is to hear evidence presented by a District Attorney to determine if there is enough evidence for indictment. The Grand Jury is composed of twenty-three people. Of those twenty-three members, at least 14 grand jurors must endorse a true bill for it to be passed (The California Grand Jury System, 2014, p. 3). The criminal courts structure in California begins with the trial level courts, also known as the superior courts. These are subdivided into an exclusive small claims court, domestic relations court, a criminal court, a juvenile court, and a traffic violations court. The defendant can appeal to the courts of appeal which consist of 6 districts and 19 divisions. If the case deals with the death penalty it directly appeals to the Supreme Court.

In the Central District of California, prospective jurors who report and are not excused or postponed, the Jury Clerk will use a computer program to randomly select 23 members and ten alternates for each grand jury. A grand jury designated “investigatory” meet for a 12-month term, while a grand jury designated “accusatory” meets for a 6-month term. A grand jury has 23 members and meets once a week, always on the same weekday. Grand juries do not meet on weekends or Mondays. The average workday is 5 hours. Absences for medical appointments, vacations, graduations, etc. may be accommodated, but 16 members must be present for the grand jury to conduct business. The grand jury serves the United States District Court, Central District of California. In contrast, a trial jury is asked to reach a verdict based on the evidence presented during a civil or criminal trial; a grand jury meets in secret to consider whether there is sufficient evidence to justify a formal criminal charge against someone. That formal criminal charge is called an “indictment” (Central).</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1444 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Pros-And-Cons-Of-Grand-Jury-PJXCH3B3B66">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Court-Systems-in-China-and-the-United-PK9ZJRPMZRPA" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Court Systems in China and the United States</h2></a><ul><li>994 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Court-Systems-in-China-and-the-United-PK9ZJRPMZRPA" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Court Systems in China and the United States</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> The American court system has two different components: the court systems of the various states and territories and then the federal court system.

The grand jury plays an important role in the criminal process, the purpose of a grand jury is to help the prosecutor decide on criminal charges or an indictment against the defendant. From my understanding the jury selection comes from people who are registered voters and people who has a driver’s license within each judicial district. There is a questionnaire process which help determine a selection which eliminates convicted felons, the list helps ensure that the jury is a broad cross section from the community in regards to sex, race, and religion. Then begin the voir dire selection process in which the attorney for the case questions the juror’s background and during this process potential jurors can be rejected if they can relate to closely to the case that they’re being called for.

The court system, in general, has a role that gives everyone access to settle legal issues fairly, to interpret laws, protect rights, and decide the fate of an accused criminal (The California court system, n.d.). The federal courts have three tiers which include, district courts, the court of appeals, and the Supreme Court. The primary role of federal courts is to hear cases involving the constitutionality of laws, other disputes of federal laws, and treaties (Court role and structure, n.d.). Each state court differs depending on how many tiers are included and how many specialized courts there are. California’s state courts have three different tiers just like the federal court system. California is known for having a simplified court system unlike the majority of states in the United States, which include superior courts, courts of appeal and the California Supreme Court.

Out of the entire 50 states, the state California has the most overcrowded prison. With more than two-hundred thousand people confined in prison in California, it is easy to understand why California state prison and federal prisons have the highest rate of prison overcrowding. According to the California department of corrections and rehabilitation, The design bed capacity of CDCR institutions and camps on December 31, 2010, was 83,981. Which is twice as high as it should be. Overcrowded prisons have negative effects on inmates from physical to psychological. To resolve the problem of overcrowded prisons, the state of California needs to build more prisons, create alternative programs and place more inmates on probation.</p></div><div class="columns
