Skolnik is overly concerned with releasing 1,500 inmates as required by legislators because that will cause a loss of prisoners to fight fires? An entire prison is being shut down because of lack of prison population, while $300 million will be spent on new construction. He tries to explain this but cannot because it lacks logic, no matter how many words he throws at it.
